I didn't see it because I was still rolling my eyes at her saying she has triple the talent of Rhea Ripley.

I did not like it simply for the fact Nia has nothing to do with the chamber match.
If they wanted her to look stronger going into Perth...she should have idk put down the champ again.

I watched it again because I feel like I have a different opinion than a lot of you and I wanted to see if I wasn't giving it proper attention last night.
Nia kind of came out of nowhere while all the participants were fighting, she took out folks while they were distracted with each other and didn't come from the ramp or anything. It's not like she just straight up cleanly murdered everybody.
I still don't think I would have run the angle, but I don't think anyone's going to look "bad" out of this one.

They were still fresh when she attacked them and she put them all down with slow basic moves. She’s not quick enough to maybe the “oh she surprised them” idea believable. Just don’t do it, it wasn’t needed. |

Just don’t do it, it wasn’t needed. I don't think it matters, as I mentioned last night. Seems we disagree, which is fine. Have a good one! |

I mean nobody thinks that she stands a chance at the PPV so they're trying to at least make her credible. They already had her beat up Rhea and leave her laying like 4 times. If that wasn’t enough to “make her credible” then nothing will be. |

Ok, I dont watch any more. But is Nia Jax remotely competent yet? Because when I last watched semi-regularly, she was a complete and utter liability. I’d say she’s been more than competent since she’s come back. The weight loss has seemed to help her ability in the ring greatly. Had a very good match with Becky a few weeks back. |

If Nia had the same kind of scary energy that a Lesnar even a Mark Henry had or if she had big long term value as a monster heel I’d be fine, but neither really applies.
As is it’s just more indulgent sacrifice booking for a talent that doesn’t really warrant it.

Nia Jax needs to be fired. She can barely coordinate moves in the ring. Terrible actress. Can't sell properly. Hurts people because she can't perform moves correct and safe. She is clearly seen talking to wrestlers about spots. She is just terrible. Always has been. The monster gimmick is done and old. Move on. Let her go to impact or roh or something.

She’s been good in-ring since her return. Night and day from the end of her prior run. |

Yeah, that's the real problem. You don't build a match by crapping on another match; whether or not whoever wins the chamber punks out Nia a whole bunch before Mania, it's not helping the show that has to come now. |

"Bianca and Becky are too overpowered!"
*Nia Jax beats up Bianca and Becky*
"Why aren't they doing more to protect Bianca and Becky?"

"Bianca and Becky are too overpowered!" *Nia Jax beats up Bianca and Becky* "Why aren't they doing more to protect Bianca and Becky?" Something tells me that if circumstances were exactly the same with Piper Niven in place of Nia Jax, there'd be very little issue. Nia is playing the classic monster heel and is challenging for the title in Rhea's home country. Considering Rhea's 10 month reign has had little to no threat to it the entire time, I have no problem with them at least attempting to create some level of doubt. |

Really, you can have people win all the time, without making them overpowered.
Bianca winning every single match, but she fights hard and struggles to do it. Not overpowered. Bianca routinely beats up 3 former champions without breaking a sweat. That's overpowered.
