I wish Nia was good enough to legitimately pull it off. Instead she’s still just clumsy awful no-presence Nia Jax.

She took out R-Truth, got an elimination, punked Mysterio, and it took there big moves to get her out... yes she was treated poorly.

Multiple men showed they didn't want to hit her and even the slimey bastard Orton hesitated Eh, I took Orton's hesitation more like he wanted to strike when she wasn't looking since that's his M.O. Didn't hesitate when he had an easy opening! Right, he doesn't like to hit someone while they're awares.

That has nothing to do with anything She's literally the biggest woman on the roster and bigger than some of the men
You want Lana doing that shit?
Yeah, so was Bertha Faye but you don't see her in any Rumbles. Wasted spot, for a waste of a performer. Could have used that spot for any number of entrants.I agree with you. Bertha Faye should absolutely have been in a Rumble.

Bertha Faye should absolutely have been in a Rumble. Would have really been a big help around that time, when the roster depths were really shallow.

I liked it. They played it up well with Ali conflicted which let Nia toss him out and show she (and WWE) were serious about her in the match and then it took three guys and the best stuff to eliminate her. It was well booked in my opinion. I get some hate the intergender matches and male on female violence which is cool but I don't get the thought behind this being poorly booked.

I guess that's what happens when you're related to The Rock. You get spots like that that you don't deserve. That has nothing to do with anything She's literally the biggest woman on the roster and bigger than some of the men

They could have Charlotte trying to upstage Becky,I damn sure Believe Charlotte can take the man. Or Rhea Ripley,girl is a beast, she would also works and is MUCH better than Nia.

Too bad Nia Jax is way too clumsy,I can't really buy her as a big force to be feared. I'm kind of torn on Nia Jax entering the men's Rumble. I'm not opposed to intergender wrestling, but Nia doesn't have the same presence that Chyna had. I almost wish Shayna had been given that spot instead. She has vicious presence down. Edit: I just looked at Wikipedia and apparently she's only 5'7". I still think she would have worked better.

I have a few thoughts:
- Male-on-female violence in pro wrestling makes me uncomfortable, but everything tonight was in the guise of a wrestling match. There was no “violence” in the sense that everything tonight consisted of wrestling moves that were performed on a woman in order to win a match. It wasn’t tasteless, wanton violence for shock value.
- I didn’t like that Nia eliminated Ali - I thought that took away from the rest of his night
- I didn’t like where the segment was positioned in the match. Had you done this earlier on and not in the closing stages, I think it would have been better
- I think this leads to a feud with Becky over her main-event spot - Nia hung with the men and now she wants The Man

As a one off this was a fun fine spot but IMO WWE should not even try and start booking intergender on a regular basis just because of how they are structered.
It works in LU since that is built on a world of fantastical elements where Cage can nearly murder Taya and she can survive.

While they can most likely beat up men, they can't man handle them like she was doing
Also don't want to put Rhea in that spot when they are building her up for the UK brand and it would make no sense for her to do that

I legit haven't laughed that hard at wwe in a long time.
Its not even that they hit their finishers, it was Rey and randy.
Randy is over there being like shit man let's do this I dont give no shits while Rey legit looked like he just accidentally slapped a kitten.
Best part was the crowd.. they wanted blood and meanwhile I'm over here like damn y'all calm down let's think about this shit for a second oh ok nvm we are doing this ok

- I think this leads to a feud with Becky over her main-event spot - Nia hung with the men and now she wants The Man She'll probably get her now, seeing as Becky is practically guaranteed to move to Raw now to build up WrestleMania at this point, and Jax vs Lynch is a nice filler match for either Elimination Chamber or Fastlane.

One thing I have to question: Out of all the women in men's Rumble appearances, where does Nia's rank time-wise compared to Chyna 99, Chyna 00, Phoenix 10 and Kharma 12? Wonder if they mentioned it as a way to remind everyone that Rumbles have involved men attacking women and things were fine. Also, was that the first reference to Chyna in forever? I haven't been paying attention.

She looked at a badass and made people cheer for her.
There was a Mania years ago where Vicki hit a frog splash to win a match. I thought it was a beautiful tribute to Eddie, but the commentary sold it like it was a joke.
This wasn’t that.

For me, I’d say it’s between her and Kharma as the best appearance. While historic, both of Chyna’s Rumble appearances were pretty poor. Both involved going after the guys she was feuding with, only to quickly get eliminated. They’re interchangeable really. Beth’s was a fun surprise, and her going toe to toe with Punk was awesome, but I hated the spot with her kissing Khali to eliminate him. Kharma was a HUGE surprise, and pretty much perfectly booked.
