WWE Superstar Nia Jax was recently a guest on the “I’m Mike Jones” podcast to promote a WWE event in Fairfax, Virginia. Jax discussed being locked in a pod for the Elimination Chamber match, how she felt after the bout, the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles being defended on different brands, and not wanting to “lower” herself. Check out the highlights here:
Being locked in a pod for the Elimination Chamber match: “It’s crazy, but it’s also, like, we’re in a pod and I didn’t realize we were gonna be the last people to be out,” Jax said. “I’m just sitting there going like ‘Oh my gosh, this pod needs to open because if it doesn’t, I’m going to freak out and open it myself. I’m claustrophobic, I’m sitting there going ‘Ok this isn’t cool, get me out of the pod.'”
How she felt after the match: “Definitely (needed) a lot of ice and maybe a little bit of whiskey just to help me out,” Jax said. “It was actually a lot of fun for me because it was the first time I have ever been in one, especially with the tag titles on the line and being with my partner Tamina, it was so much fun.”
WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles being defended on different shows: “It’s really cool to see that right, because we do have three amazing brands in the WWE: RAW, SmackDown and NXT,” Jax said. “It’s really cool that Sasha and Bayley took it upon themselves to go down to NXT, defend the titles and give the NXT girls the option. Personally for Tamina and I, if you want the tag champs, you come to us.”
Not wanting to “lower” herself: “We’re at the top of the mountain. I’m not gonna lower myself and I’m not gonna go anywhere else. I’m at RAW. RAW is the top of the mountain. If you want this, you come to us.”
