During a recent appearance on the “No-Contest Wrestling” podcast, Nia Jax spoke about the WWE Superstars that greatly influenced her career, acknowledging Tamina Snuka and Charlotte Flair, among others.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the impact Tamina Snuka had on her career: “I’m gonna say first off it’s gonna be Tamina Snuka. She doesn’t get the flowers she deserves, but that woman backstage is a pillar, a rock to so many of us. We call her Mama Bear because she is just a true Mama Bear. She’s kept me up when I need to stay up, positive when I was trying to be negative, hydrated when I was hungover [laughs]. I call her my sister because she’s truly a sister, and she has kept me on the up and up. Even when I wasn’t in the company for a little bit when nobody else was.”
On how much Charlotte Flair has helped her: “Charlotte Flair, she’s helped me a lot. She’s a fitness guru, and when I was going through my fitness journey, she was there for me. Naomi, Naomi has got a heart of gold. She’s a gem, a diamond in the rough that people don’t realize. I put her on such a pedestal. I could list off, I have Bayley, Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton, Sheamus is a good, solid buddy of mine, Drew McIntyre, The Usos, Roman. There’s so many people, especially backstage. We’re a family back there. We’re with each other so many days out of the year that we haven’t to be supportive because at the end of the day, 90 percent of the time, we’re traveling, and we’re in hotels and airplanes and cars. We have to have each other’s back, so there’s a lot of people. I have support in all aspects in this wrestling business, and I’m very blessed.”
During a recent interview with “The One Mona,” WWE Women’s United States Champion Chelsea Green picked her surprise entrants for tonight’s women’s Royal Rumble match, specifically naming Alexa Bliss and Nikki Bella as her top choices.
Green said, “I need like an Alexa Bliss. Nikki Bella, I keep hearing Nikki Bella, and oh my goodness. Seriously, if you can look, you can look, but you can’t touch. If that plays and I’m in the ring, I don’t know what’s going to happen. The camera better not zoom in on me because I’ll be like, ah!”
