Nia Jax recently spoke with the folks from the Sporting News for an interview. During the discussion, she spoke about women possibly headlining WrestleMania 35 and her recent incident with Becky Lynch. Featured below are some of the highlights.
On women possibly headlining WrestleMania 35: “It’s our time. It’s definitely our time. We all work hard, we work our butts off and it’s our time. People are starting to recognize all the talent that we have and we keep doing it every week on “RAW” and then the pay-per-views. The fans want to see a main event at WrestleMania and the women end the show. It’s great. We have 100 percent support from all the men backstage and everyone is supporting us to get to where we are. We’re taking over. That’s what it is.”
On what she learned from the incident that saw her accidentally break Becky Lynch’s nose with a stiff punch: “Obviously, we learned that I can’t throw punches (laughs). I’m just kidding. From that experience, there’s always an opportunity whether it’s good or bad. If somebody gets hit, that happens in a contact sport. It happens, so you just have to be able to look at the positives and take it and run with it. I just realized that everything is an opportunity no matter what happens. People might freak out like they did on me and that’s OK because now I’m one of the top heels in this company and I’m OK with that. That’s my job, so I take everything as an opportunity.”
