I was very much impressed with her in her match with Nia.

Should have won it. Nobody cares about Nia who, despite having improved to the point where she doesn't injure everyone she encounters (congrastulations I guess) is still the worst and most boring wrestler on the roster. Saw this coming the second The Rock got power and she returned She bitched to him when she wasn't getting pushed long before he did. We're stuck with this nepotism shit and it blows. And there it is. Figured that the Nia hate being worse than warranted was at least partly based on a heavy dose of anti-nepotism (same reason Charlotte gets disproportionate hate). |

Figured that the Nia hate being worse than warranted was at least partly based on a heavy dose of anti-nepotism (same reason Charlotte gets disproportionate hate). One person mentioned nepotism. That may be a factor for some, but for the most part any remaining Nia hate I've seen these days comes from her injuring people in the past and her bansai drop looking incredibly dangerous. It's hardly a C-O-N-Spiracy.
Charlotte is an awesome talent but spending literal years consecutively either as champion or challenging for the champion ship while doing a Ric Flair cosplay really did her no favours in garnering fans. Most of the Charlotte 'haters' would acknowledge that she's actually fantastic in the ring when she wants to be. Again, no real conspiracy.

C-O-N-spiracy is right! I have no issue with people having issues with her injuring people in the past. That’s fair for that version of her (as is how sloppy she seemingly was in-ring in the latter half of her first run). But she’s been much more controlled and better in-ring since she came back 8 months ago, and as far as I know has not injured anyone. |

For me it's largely because she's utterly dreadful still and is still the worst wrestler on the roster yet keeps getting pushed and showing up on TV. Give her spot to one of the female wrestlers who doesn't get a look in. The nepotism doesn't help though because it's clear her push IS because of who she is related to. |

I doubt it’s much to do with it considering they don’t really play up her family at all. Also, I’d say if you combine look, character work and in-ring skill she’s way up the list of talented females in the company. |

She reminds me of Rose Byrne.

Figured that the Nia hate being worse than warranted was at least partly based on a heavy dose of anti-nepotism (same reason Charlotte gets disproportionate hate). I'm telling you something that was a fact, like Nia bitching to The Rock in her initial run was reported If you took that away, Nia Jax is still an awful person an an awful wrestler who doesn't deserve this push, I'm just not surprised she's getting it with The Rock now in charge. The hate for Nia isn't disproportionate either, it's well deserved imo, for her injuring several wrestlers and being an asshole irl, but you can pronounce the hatred however you want I guess, I'm one person, not the majority. |

Only report I’ve ever heard was one from a fairly unreliable source about Jax asking Rock what she should do about an issue she had with the booking of a feud with Sasha and him telling her to walk away. The report was also refuted directly by Nia. It wasn’t even reported as her asking him to help her out politics wise or anything like that either. |

She's been a sloppy as f*** worker in these 8 months, she hasn't injured anyone, thankfully, but I'm not gonna act like I've seen some grand improvement from her. |

They wouldn’t have fired her a few years ago if they really cared what he thought (back then anyway). |

Yeah this whole bollock of Nia (or any of Rock’s friends/reletives) getting pushes because Rock Politiced it to happen is utterly laughable and ridiculous that it’s such a easy go-to argument for anyone who doesn’t like Nia. like, I reeeeallly doubt Rock is going out of his busy schedule to make sure his friends and family are getting huge pushes OR ELSE!. It’s just a lazy speculation that none can 100% prove that’s what’s actually happening. Do better

I thought the report was more widespread or true then it was, but this isn't some Nia conspiracy theory... she sucks, and she doesn't deserve this push The women's divisions were finally getting better and more interesting and she's been a f***ing albatross since returning and being all over them, and now she's gonna be Smackdown's main women's feud with Bayley, it blows and isn't entertaining to watch to me. |

Cool? No ones making you watch? You don’t like her? think she’s sloppy? Fine, I disagree, but others enjoy her work and feels she has improved. Whatyagonnado? Different stokes. Sorry the whole Rock/nepotism wasn’t as true as you hoped it was so you can continue to beat that horse over and over again |

I feel Piper can do a lot of what Nia can and more, but its just she's had some really bad luck with covid and injuries. And I think Nia has improved. |
