I didn't notice it because I just walked away from the TV before it happened, but of all moves to give her, you give her the Banzai Drop? And she didn't even hold the ropes that Yokozuna used to do most of the times. That was just full-force weight across Ripley's chest. How can you put someone with such a bad injury record against one of your hottest acts? It’s laziness to me. They don’t want to take the time to build up someone on the side with wins and TV time over a period of months (they didn’t even really do that with Rodriguez, for f***s sake, they just took her off TV with an injury angle. The title shot at Payback was her first match in nearly two months), so just slot someone in from the outside that has instant “credibility”… basically meaning we/I hate her and the office likes her, so of course she’s gonna beat that person I like. |

If they needed someone with credibility, they have Shayna right there. She was recently tag champs with Ronda, she feuded with and choked out Ronda at Summerslam. And she has a past rivalry with Rhea. |

Given this was reportedly a Vince decision, we can sum this up for a lot of Vince decisions... |

How can you put someone with such a bad injury record against one of your hottest acts? Real shit, one of Nia's last WWE matches was AGAINST Ripley, and I remember it very vividly because Rhea looked f***ing miserable working with her. Nia couldn't sell anything right, the Riptide was barely pulled off I can't imagine what she's feeling knowing the impending next feud she likely has, as world champion, is with her... |

This is one return that absolutely nobody was asking for. Of all people to bring back, they decide on one of the most careless workers they've had in the last decade. Nothing of value was gained by this signing.

So it's a Vinny Mac decision? Not surprised. I don't like Nia, I think she's trash in the ring but I'm not going to be all up and arms about it because we've already got worse people on the roster I dislike more. Just add it to the "damn this sucks, hope I'm wrong about this one" pile. With that said nah, I'm probably not gonna be watching her stuff. I'm not interested in it. Just lame. I just hope her weighing less means she does less damage because she was mad rough. Her slapping Rhea at the end was even looking wild. She most definitely has not lost weight, I saw the picture. Nah, just like I thought she did lose weight. There's articles and everything about it. This was a few months ago. |

I'm happy for her in that sense, like I'm glad she has changed her life for the better, that's always a good thing for a person to do. I am glad she has improved her quality of life. But it really doesn't change anything about wanting to see her on my TV screen. |

She looks exactly as big as she did when she left, she may have gained weight and lost it in the interim, but that’s the same Nia that left. |

Sigh.
As someone already said earlier, bringing back a known anti-vaxxer not even two weeks after one of your wrestlers died from Covid complications is an interesting choice.
Just keep Kairi as far away from her as possible.

First the bills lose and now I find out Denia Vax is back Denia Vax is genuine gold, and I can't believe it only has six likes. |

Vince went to the "Dumb F**king Personal Views" shop to return his Lacey Evans, only to come out with Nia Jax on store credit.
Poor Rhea deserves better than this. Actually, wrestling fans in general deserve better than this.

Deeply sorry to Rhea for losing her championship reign due to an injury in the weeks ahead.

Imagine having the opportunity across the year to get Jay White, Kota Ibushi, Mariah May, the possibility of keeping Sasha Banks and Naomi, the Elite being up for grabs because of the Punk stuff and then going "Nah, we're good with Brian Pillman Jr, AOP and Nia Jax, thanks."
Like, I get the merger probably hindered a lot of that stuff but, like...that's a Manchester United amount of stumbling around the free agent market.

Nia Jax and Snitzky returning to wrestling in the same week.
What a time to be alive. Unless you're a Joshi. Or a fetus. Or a pregnant joshi.

It's an astonishing decision.
At every aspect of pro wrestling she is f***ing terrible plus she's a horrible moron in real life too.
Just baffling that they've brought her back. I feel sorry for the other women in the locker room because we all know she's going to hurt people.
