Former WWE Star Nia Jax (Savelina Fanene) recently appeared on Busted Open Radio to discuss a variety of topics such as how she is unsure of herself right now as she wasn’t in the best shape in the Royal Rumble and she wasn’t expecting to come back full-time because it takes a lot to come back full-time.
Nia Jax said:
“So I had just agreed to do the (Royal) Rumble and so, but you know, the unsurety of myself right now, I wasn’t in the best shape and I wasn’t expecting to come back full-time because it takes a lot to come back full-time. We know it. It’s not just something like, oh hey, I’m gonna hit the gym for a couple of months and be in it. It’s a whole process and so I wasn’t expecting to come back full-time at the Rumble.”
Nia Jax also talked about how she did catch the wrestling bug again after appearing in the 2023 Royal Rumble Event and how she would love to help out the women's division.
Nia Jax said:
“I did catch the bug again when I got in the ring. I was like, ouu, this feeling, this adrenaline that pumps through you, you know? I was breathing super hard before I went out and you know, Kasama (WWE producer) was backstage helping me breathe through it and I had a bunch of the guys come by and give me a hug and so when my music hit, that feeling of, oh sh*t, what the hell was I thinking? Let’s go. I did catch the bug after being in the Rumble which I was like, ah, maybe coming back would be a cool thing. I mean, if the people do remember me and the only thing I’d wanna do is to come back and help anybody out I could. I would love to add to the division. It would be something that I would love to do.”
Nia Jax then talked about how former WWE Star Mickie James thought her things that she never knew and how getting in the ring with Mickie was so amazing to her in her career.
Nia Jax said:
“Mickie (James) coming back and Mickie giving me psychology crap that I’ve never known, you know? Teaching me things that I never knew and getting in the ring with her, that was so amazing to me in my career that I’m like, if I have any kind of that knowledge that people would love to have, I would love to give and you know, whatever I could do. So, I don’t know, I don’t know.”
