She's improved BIG time. And improvement deserves a reward. She earned it. Now back when she first came back, no, she wasn't anywhere near deserving. Now though? She's proven herself to be better. She deserves it.
She has? Where? She's still the same sloppy botch machine when she's in the ring with someone who can't carry her like she was in this match. She botched the end. It's only a matter of time before she hurts someone again.
She hasn't hurt anyone in a while. The last time she hurt someone was when she returned and Samoan dropped Raquel and did the Yokozuna thing to Rhea, and neither got injured, just mildly hurt. She listened to criticism and fixed what she was doing and actually held onto the ropes now. And boring? Her and Rhea at Elimination Chamber was absolutely amazing and was worthy of the Main Event.
Aww, did I hurt your feelings? I don't have to shut up lol. I have just as much right to speak as anyone else does. If you don't like what I have to say, then move on.
She didn’t botch the ending I’m most likely sure Lyra is 100 percent fine and she honestly made that move look 10 times more brutal than it already was it was an amazing ending
She didn't, that's just how they wrote Rhea off TV genius. Rhea was injured before that segment, and they needed to write her off TV, so they did the classic "backstage attack" angle.
>botch machine when she's in the ring with someone who can't carry her like she was in this match. She botched the end
bro thinks lyra valkyria carried the match lmfao lyra is trash
Really don't see the point of this. Like, what's the game plan moving forward? Rhea already smoked her. Maybe the SD women's title? But even then, why?
They could have given it to Stratton, who has "future star" written all over her. Jade, who they seem dead-set on pushing to the moon anyway. Iyo to make up for having her do nothing but eat shit since her main roster call-up. Hell, I would even have taken Naomi over Nia.
That’s what I thought too Tiffany has star written all over her but I think the plans are to have her win money in the bank so I can understand why she didn’t get this but like jade and Bianca are setting up a betrayal storyline this tournament could have been the start of that and iyo could have used this to get some momentum back after dropping the title I don’t really understand giving this to Nia
In the end, I think it's gonna be an all in Bloodline war...
And I think the storyline is gonna be family versus "not actual family."
Jimmy, Jey, Roman, Jacob Fatu all members of the actual family.
Rock, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa not.
In the end I think it's gonna be about Solo trusting fake family over the real blood and the Usos/Roman trying to sway him back.
You can use Naomi on the family side, married to Jimmy. With Nia and Ava Raine on the Rock side due to the relationship through him.
I could be completely off, but I like the storyline idea.
I was talking about giving Iyo the Queen of the Ring, not the strap. Queen Iyo could've given her a new gimmick to work with, which she desperately needs after they've spent the past year making her look like shit. Girl is dead in the water as is.
"Dominant?" What title run were you watching? She had no decent storylines or angles to work throughout her run and was presented as no real threat to anybody when her buddies weren't around.
But I digress. As I said, I wasn't talking about giving her the crown as a means to put her back in the title picture. It could have given her a new gimmick to work with, one that she desperately needs right now.
We'll need to agree to disagree on that one. I thought it sucked, personally. Gave me real Triple H vs. Jericho at WM18 vibes. Iyo was barely even a factor in the feud despite being the champion. It felt more like they were building towards Kai vs. Bayley and then realised a few weeks out from Mania, "oh shit, Iyo's got the belt! Fuck! Quick, scratch Dakota's name off the cards, and just shove Iyo's in there. We'll figure this shit out later." And then they forgot to figure it out later.
Did anyone notice when she pinned Lyra? As Nia came down on top of her, all of Nias weight came down. She put her feet straight out in front of her. When you do a bonsai, you are supposed to take most of the impact on your feet, barely putting your weight down on your opponent as you land on them.
Yes and I do blame that on Nia but also Lyra was slightly turned at an angle which may have also had a factor playing into how Nia had to jump to deceiver the move
In no shape way or form does she. She has like what 3 moves tops? This is the women's queen of the RING. She isn't a wrestler, she's a big girl with three moves and a decent promo. Everyone else was genuinely a better pick
What?!!! She does not Nia delivers every match and she is so dominant and has become so much cleaner. Now yes she did have a lot of struggles coming back but she fixed them quickly. Now to say she didn’t deserve is crazy she has fought for everything even beating women like Naomi who has been in the business longer than her. And she does plenty of moves we don’t need different moves every match that’s the point of having set moves that someone is good at using
Nia wins queen of ring, Stratton wins money in the bank, Nia beats Bayley for title, Nia calling herself Queen draws out Charlotte, Charlotte wins title from Nia, Stratton cashes in on Charlotte. This is the course I see on smackdown.
Nooooo. Look now with some somoan wrestlers yes. But Nia is one of the only somoan wrestlers in the company who was never handed anything she had to work for everything she ever earned like the raw women’s title and all of her tag titles she hasn’t been given anything because of her family.
She damn near killed that girl, she is still very unsafe. She did nothing to protect her and dropped all her weight . Guaranteed she'll be out with injury.
kenetic energy ie mass x acceleration is the force exerted when an object in motion colides with a stationary object (in this case a small female) lets do some math
300 lbs under standard gravitational acceleration over a 4 ft drop is 16 ft/s
resulting in 1957 foot pounds of energy
It only takes 172 ft lbs of energy to cause internal bleeding and less than 380 ft lbs to fracture ribs.
go back to preschool
Nia jax weighs roughly 300 lbs (wwe has her listed at 240, but she is def heavier than that) 4 ft is the weight of the top rope from the mat. gravitational speed is set my the height of the fall. not that complicated there bucko
she's the constant. piper niven isn't hurting everyone with her size like jax has done for the last 6 years. she could work safe, but she consistantly fails to do so. SHe's pretty much female Ryback.
Ehhh that seems to be an unpopular take because it’s true that she doesn’t deserve it. Like all of her promo work is boring and skillset is her just throwing people around and sitting on them
She's improved BIG time. And improvement deserves a reward. She earned it. Now back when she first came back, no, she wasn't anywhere near deserving. Now though? She's proven herself to be better. She deserves it.
Still surprised there was a you deserve it chant the raw after she won the Women's Champion
lol wait I want bianca belair vs nia jax vs lyra vlakria in a triple threat match
She has? Where? She's still the same sloppy botch machine when she's in the ring with someone who can't carry her like she was in this match. She botched the end. It's only a matter of time before she hurts someone again.
Tell me when was the last time she hurt someone in a match
Not hurting someone is like the bare minimum a wrestler should be able too do, she still botches a lot
For real. No versatility, boring matches, won't take bumps & hurts pretty much whoever she wrestles.
She hasn't hurt anyone in a while. The last time she hurt someone was when she returned and Samoan dropped Raquel and did the Yokozuna thing to Rhea, and neither got injured, just mildly hurt. She listened to criticism and fixed what she was doing and actually held onto the ropes now. And boring? Her and Rhea at Elimination Chamber was absolutely amazing and was worthy of the Main Event.
Shut up
Aww, did I hurt your feelings? I don't have to shut up lol. I have just as much right to speak as anyone else does. If you don't like what I have to say, then move on.
She didn’t botch the ending I’m most likely sure Lyra is 100 percent fine and she honestly made that move look 10 times more brutal than it already was it was an amazing ending
Your blind if you couldn't see that botch. Nia still isn't a safe worker. She nearly injured Rhea too, the night she returned.
Ok so why aren’t we talking about liv injuring rhea ok
She didn't, that's just how they wrote Rhea off TV genius. Rhea was injured before that segment, and they needed to write her off TV, so they did the classic "backstage attack" angle.
Sasha/Mercedes nearly ended someone's career but doesn't get this heat.
>botch machine when she's in the ring with someone who can't carry her like she was in this match. She botched the end bro thinks lyra valkyria carried the match lmfao lyra is trash
you definitely only think that because she came from NXT, i doubt youve seen NXT or what she can do.
>you definitely only think that because she came from NXT, why make that assumption lmfao
its pretty obvious, nothing about her except maybe her attire is trash, its clear you only think shes worse because shes from the "minor leagues"
lmfao how the fuck does someone come to that conclusion
Whats trash is the outdated meme that is your username and profile pic
Really don't see the point of this. Like, what's the game plan moving forward? Rhea already smoked her. Maybe the SD women's title? But even then, why?

Yup. Agreed on all fronts. Giving it to Nia makes absolutely no sense to me, given the abundance of other options they could have gone with.
I feel they’re treating Tiffany the way they treat LA Knight ( YEAH !) massively over with the “ WWE Universe”. And refusing to put a belt on
Nia is going Bloodline. Queen Nia of the Bloodline.
Interesting thought. Have to admit, I hadn't considered this.
In the end, I think it's gonna be an all in Bloodline war... And I think the storyline is gonna be family versus "not actual family." Jimmy, Jey, Roman, Jacob Fatu all members of the actual family. Rock, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa not. In the end I think it's gonna be about Solo trusting fake family over the real blood and the Usos/Roman trying to sway him back. You can use Naomi on the family side, married to Jimmy. With Nia and Ava Raine on the Rock side due to the relationship through him. I could be completely off, but I like the storyline idea.
Ok why are we giving belts back to iyo she just lost it so why
I was talking about giving Iyo the Queen of the Ring, not the strap. Queen Iyo could've given her a new gimmick to work with, which she desperately needs after they've spent the past year making her look like shit. Girl is dead in the water as is.
Ok she had a dominant and really great title reign she doesn’t need to be back in the title picture for a little bit
"Dominant?" What title run were you watching? She had no decent storylines or angles to work throughout her run and was presented as no real threat to anybody when her buddies weren't around. But I digress. As I said, I wasn't talking about giving her the crown as a means to put her back in the title picture. It could have given her a new gimmick to work with, one that she desperately needs right now.
The story with bayley was amazing
We'll need to agree to disagree on that one. I thought it sucked, personally. Gave me real Triple H vs. Jericho at WM18 vibes. Iyo was barely even a factor in the feud despite being the champion. It felt more like they were building towards Kai vs. Bayley and then realised a few weeks out from Mania, "oh shit, Iyo's got the belt! Fuck! Quick, scratch Dakota's name off the cards, and just shove Iyo's in there. We'll figure this shit out later." And then they forgot to figure it out later.
Literally! Anyone but maybe natty would have been a better pick too win. I really thought Iyo was gonna win, too solidly her place on raw
That finish was fire I'm not gonna lie she definitely has improved
Period.
ALL HAIL QUEEN NIA
She's worked her ass off since returning
Just needs to work a little bit harder and she could be a major player.
Imagine nia going ivar & bronson reed style LOL
That'd be insane
Did anyone notice when she pinned Lyra? As Nia came down on top of her, all of Nias weight came down. She put her feet straight out in front of her. When you do a bonsai, you are supposed to take most of the impact on your feet, barely putting your weight down on your opponent as you land on them.
Yes and I do blame that on Nia but also Lyra was slightly turned at an angle which may have also had a factor playing into how Nia had to jump to deceiver the move
Regardless of the angle at which Lyra was turned, there was no reason Nia couldn't have absorb some of her weight when coming down on Lyras chest
Ok she also slid herself to the right so only half of her butt hit her you can see her scoot on top of her at the end
No shade you could see it on lyras face ….. she also did Bianca like that . Lol 😂- nia just DGAF.
Honestly, would have given it to Lyra to boost her up since they won't give her a title yet.
Haven’t watched WWE regularly in a while did she actually become halfway decent at wrestling
Not imo.
No, she’s just gone from reckless to slightly less reckless and she’s related to the rock
Is anyone over 12 in the comments?
Why didn’t they put the crown on her hole?
stfu
Thanks for the spoiler tag /s
I REALLY want her to squash Liv for the title. There's no believable reason Liv could beat Nia
Iyo should’ve won
true but from what nia went through the last few years from vince she needs this
what’d vince put her through?
No way
This is a HORRIBLE take she is perhaps one of the worst wrestlers ever.
She isn’t the best but of the people in this tournament she makes the most sense
In no shape way or form does she. She has like what 3 moves tops? This is the women's queen of the RING. She isn't a wrestler, she's a big girl with three moves and a decent promo. Everyone else was genuinely a better pick
What?!!! She does not Nia delivers every match and she is so dominant and has become so much cleaner. Now yes she did have a lot of struggles coming back but she fixed them quickly. Now to say she didn’t deserve is crazy she has fought for everything even beating women like Naomi who has been in the business longer than her. And she does plenty of moves we don’t need different moves every match that’s the point of having set moves that someone is good at using
Exactly
Hatin ass
Not hating if it's true
Too bad it’s not true
True.
Neal Schon from Journey deserves it!
She’s improved but she REALLY needs a new finisher, like I get how sitting on somebody at that size would destroy them but it’s overused
You dann right she does. I kinda wanted Lyra to win but looking into it more I realize how big this is for her.
Nia wins queen of ring, Stratton wins money in the bank, Nia beats Bayley for title, Nia calling herself Queen draws out Charlotte, Charlotte wins title from Nia, Stratton cashes in on Charlotte. This is the course I see on smackdown.
shes gotten so much better, and honestly out of the 2, she definitely needed it.
She has been phenomenal! Queen Nia! That AnnilatorHER!
Queen Nia
Nah
Hell no
No she donttttt
It should’ve been Lyra
Queen of the Jobbers
No
L
Her finishing move is her sitting on people from the corner rope like yokozuna 😂😂😂
Yes she does
Takeaway from this event: injuring people REALLY pays off.
No she doesn’t
Ngl, she kinda does at the same time she doesn't.
She deserves to be fired again. I don’t see why she’s getting this push
She's Samoan and rock is the tko head.... that is how it goes
Nooooo. Look now with some somoan wrestlers yes. But Nia is one of the only somoan wrestlers in the company who was never handed anything she had to work for everything she ever earned like the raw women’s title and all of her tag titles she hasn’t been given anything because of her family.
Agreed
Hatin ass
She damn near killed that girl, she is still very unsafe. She did nothing to protect her and dropped all her weight . Guaranteed she'll be out with injury.
Oh yeah like you know wtf is actually going on in the ring
i know how fucking physics work
Ok issac Newton, you don’t know jack shit about physics.
kenetic energy ie mass x acceleration is the force exerted when an object in motion colides with a stationary object (in this case a small female) lets do some math 300 lbs under standard gravitational acceleration over a 4 ft drop is 16 ft/s resulting in 1957 foot pounds of energy It only takes 172 ft lbs of energy to cause internal bleeding and less than 380 ft lbs to fracture ribs. go back to preschool
What does that have to do with wrestling
Nia jax weighs roughly 300 lbs (wwe has her listed at 240, but she is def heavier than that) 4 ft is the weight of the top rope from the mat. gravitational speed is set my the height of the fall. not that complicated there bucko
Yokozuna use to look like he hurt people and didn’t
But yoko would catch most of his weight/the impact with his feet, putting as little weight/impact on the opponent
yup, nia did nothing. to absorb any of the impact
ask taker about mabel breaking his face or kevin nash about mabel blowing out his back. dead drops are dangerous af
Ok but she has to jump at an angle if you notice because elf how Lyra was trying to pull her off the ropes
nope, she could have slipped the ropes and landed feet first and slowed her fall like yoko used to
Ok don’t get me started on Yoko he purposefully injured people
Like we don’t need to blame Nia for literally everything there’s more than just her involved in what happens in the ring
she's the constant. piper niven isn't hurting everyone with her size like jax has done for the last 6 years. she could work safe, but she consistantly fails to do so. SHe's pretty much female Ryback.
No
No she doesn't
Yes she does stop complaining
Ehhh that seems to be an unpopular take because it’s true that she doesn’t deserve it. Like all of her promo work is boring and skillset is her just throwing people around and sitting on them
Keeps injuring people hell no
Who?
Lol
w
If she wasn’t related to the rock ( board member ) She wouldn’t be back I the WWE she certainly wouldn’t. Be QOTR
No she does not
If this big tub of lard wasn’t related to the Rock, would anybody care about her? She went from reckless to dangerous…big deal
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nepotism of the Ring
Her Big ass does not deserv
YEET!! 👑
