Nia Jax captured her first title in WWE by defeating Alexa Bliss at WrestleMania 34 in a high-profile feud that garnered a lot of attention. The former Irresistible Force of WWE feuded with Bliss in a storyline that saw Alexa making fun of Jax’s size and body image. The feud culminated in a title match at that year’s Showcase of the Immortals, and recently, Jax sat down to discuss the match and her win. Though Jax would go on to hold the Women’s Tag Title twice alongside Shayna Baszler, the win over Bliss would mark Jax’s sole reign as Women’s World Champion during her WWE tenure.

During a recent appearance on the “Wives of Wrestling” podcast, Jax talked about putting the feud together and how she didn’t believe she was going to win until the night of the show.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On the storyline behind the feud: “Well, it was really cool. Because it was something that Lexi and I, we were able to collaborate on it. It was so funny, because she would get so evil, and people were like, ‘How dare they make fun of – ‘ and if anybody knows Vince, it’s like Vince loves to take the obvious and expand it. There was a promo where they were making – Mickie James and [Alexa Bliss] were just making fun of the way I looked and my size and people just went nuts on Twitter. So to me, it was like, making it more real made it better with everybody. People were like, ‘F*** Alexa.’ They were really buying me and it was like the only time anybody was f***ing behind me in the company, but they were really behind me.”

“It was such a cool story because I have a niece and she’s a tall girl. She’s taller than everybody. You know, she looks just like me. I’m like, ‘Oh man, she’s gonna be able to grow up and be like, ‘My aunt was a badass. She looks so good, she won that title, she was a champ, and she beat her bully.’ It was a super cool thing, because not only did I get to do that for my own family, but I saw so many girls. I met so many girls, I talked to so many women about how that really helped them in their own personal life.”

On not believing she was winning the title: “I didn’t think I would win. At that point, I never really won anything, and it’d always be like, ‘Nah, I’m gonna put this person over now,’ like cool, whatever. But then they were like, ‘You’re actually like getting the title.’ ‘Like, yeah right.’ I’ll believe it the night of when they actually do it – because s*** changes all the time.”
