Nia Jax

[0.0] "She was so darn awful to the point where her not injuring anyone made people think she was good. She isn't. She's horrible at just about everything and still is NOT safe in the ring. She's 40 and still can't wrestle or cut a promo. It's embarrassing."

[9.0] "Nia has improved drastically over the years. She is definitely underrated, and I really hope she gets another push! I can see her holding a long reign as a mid card champ! Each year, Nia goes from strength to strength. You know full well, if you need a big heel storyline, or womeone to put over a babyface, Nia is your perfect choice. I feel since her second run she has really proven herself. People get injured. But to me, she is arguably one of the most improved star there is."

[7.0] "Nia's second run in WWE has been a clear step up from her first. Early in her career, she was fairly average and suffered from a string of unlucky spots that hurt her reputation, though she wasn't truly unsafe; her work with Alexa Bliss demonstrated she could perform cleanly. Since returning full-time, Nia has elevated her game considerably: she sells high-flying offense convincingly, bumps well for her opponents, and brings a commanding presence to the ring. While there's still room for refinement, she thrives as a bully heel and has become a consistently entertaining performer."

[7.0] "Nia has seriously improved since returning full time, Nia was always bang average in her first run in WWE but got really unlucky with a few spots that often times, whether justified or not, fell on Nia. I don't think she was as unsafe as people say, she worked Alexa Bliss and didn't once hurt her, so I do think it was more of an unlucky streak rather than unsafe. Since returning though, Nia has been on another level, her performances are more entertaining, she's selling top rope moves like hurricanas and been bumping for everyone! Solid 7 in my eyes. Although it looks like this year possibly her knees are a little injured as she's heavily taped her knees and she's not as quick or flashy in the last few moves."

[6.0] "Nia is acceptable for now at least for me. The work on her character making is not bad, and you can see WWE still needs this kind of bigger figure in the women's division to make it seem more multiple."

[0.0] "I don't know why I gave it a 2.0. Maybe I was just too lazy to write a proper review about Nia Jax. Honestly, I'm shocked that people say Nia Jax has become a good wrestler. The fact that she's stopped injuring other wrestlers doesn't make her a good wrestler. She's just a bad wrestler who, luckily, has learned not to injure her opponents during matches. Wrestling is a sport where executing convincing moves without injuring your opponent is part of the job--it's basically a craft. But Nia clearly isn't one of its brightest representatives. I remember how poor baby Liv Morgan tried to carry Nia Jax to something watchable. And at the recent WarGames match, Nia Jax's wrestling was just terrible."

[2.0] "I don't like her. I won't give her a 1 or 0 because she's skilled in combat, but she has an overly inflated ego. She should reflect on her behavior and stop criticizing Charlotte and Alexa's friendship without reason. Sometimes she has a knack for injuring other competitors. She should do something about it instead of causing others pain, which is why they have to leave WWE to recover from the injury Nia Jax inflicted on them."

[7.0] "Nia Jax should absolutely not have a rating this low. People honestly do not like her because they think she has injured people in the past, but it really is because she is bigger in size. (People won't admit that.) She has dramatically improved during her 2023 return run and deserves a much higher rating. She delivers in the promos and has delivered in every big match she has been in since returning. Her matches with Becky Lynch, Rhea Ripley, and Liv Morgan have all been really good and all of the matches delivered. She definitely deserved to be featured at WrestleMania XL as well, but I'm hoping they will continue to feature her more this year. People need to give her more of a chance and rate her based on skill, not on how much she annoys them."

[2.0] "She's slowly but surely redeeming herself from the war crime of her first run. She has dramatically increased in her quality of wrestling. If it weren't for that first run she would be a 7.5 in my books! but that first run still happened so sorry, gotta give her a 6 Edit: Seems like she has barely changed at all I guess"

[1.0] "I'm very disappointed in her performances lately. I guess this is just who she is: mean, reckless, and worst of all not just unapologetic, but spitefully indignant throughout it all. I'm ashamed on her behalf."

[1.0] "The fact that she's "gotten better" is an indictment of just how bad she was before. She's built as this powerhouse despite possessing very little strength, her ring work is clumsy and boring, her promos are clumsy and boring and her character work is clumsy and boring. She's also pretty reckless and has caused several high profile injuries. I don't want to assume this about people but it does make you wonder if the only reason she has her current position on the card is because of her family ties, because there are women that are much more capable in WWE's roster that won't even sniff one world title let alone two."

"Nia's the '93 Honda Civic you inherited from your grandfather. It's slow and lumbering, and you'll never get used to the gust of cobwebs that escape when you pop the hood. The rust slowly eats at the frame with every passing day, and despite everyone insisting that she's 'got a few more miles' in her, you're stuck wondering why we can't appreciate the cars that actually work."

[0.0] "the queen of botchs. The only positive is that she has a pretty cool aura and I admit. she still has a natural charisma that works well in the ring. But that's it and it's a shame that her natural charisma doesn't make her a good wrestler. her holds are horrible, her acting just as much."

[0.0] "There are 4 very basic aspects to wrestling that make up everything you see on screen. Keep your opponent safe, keep yourself safe, make your opponent look good, and finally make yourself look good. Nia has continuously show over her numerous WWE runs that doesn't understand any of them, yet they keep letting her back in to injure even more people. Last night's Smackdown performance cements for me everything I've always said about her. She can't wrestle, sell, run a mic, or even keep her damn opponents safe. She is a botch machine if ever there were one, and the fact that she is even allowed near a wrestling ring brings shame to the company, to everyone she works with, to herself, and to the artform as a whole. Get her away from the ropes before she ends up ending a career or killing someone."

[5.0] "(Edit from the 7 in 02/16/2025) i love Lina Fanene and her character work, i love her as heel, but her wrestling ability is mediocre to bad, she's batter then 2017-2020 era for sure but, she needs a lot more improvement, since she lost the title to Tiffany in January her ring skills are decreading, very slopy, very slow, since losing the title and especially in matches she loses, she's been giving energy of "ugh, I'm really going to lose, so i'll just going to do what they asked me (in a careless way) and leave" and that makes me sad, because when she was champion i had so much hope for her"

[0.0] "Nia is truly one of the worst wrestlers in history, always botching, always injuring her opponents, majority of her matches suck, she's only in wwe and constantly gets title matches because he's related to the rock, every time i see her on my tv i just wanna turn it off"

[5.0] "Yea you know what, she's getting better i give her that, i get that she also try to not injured anyone anymore but cmon that chairshots from wargames pisses me tf off"

[7.0] "Actually fantastic, if inconsistent work since her return. If you had told me in 2020 I'd be giving Nia a 7 in a few years time I'd never believe it. She's got charisma, pacing, character, and her look has always been great. She's much smoother and safer in the ring these days, and her work is way more fun. Still a bit spotty, and needs a good dance partner to work with to shine, but she brings lots to the table as a main event heel."

[6.0] "She has improved massively since her return and had a lot of good matches against Linch I haven't seen the Tiffany matches but they are well liked also. She just had a match with Lash and it was a pretty dam good match Nia can carry greener wrestlers to decent matches now."

[3.0] "Still not fan of her and she is still very unlikable, but to her credit, she has been improved as much safer and less rougher worker since 2023 returns, having some bangers with right opponents and booking."

[0.0] "I love that the bar for fans to say she's better is that she's not hurting anyone as much. You know, the bedrock principle of being a pro wrestler...Ask yourself this question, would Nia Jax have been kept on the roster or even brought back if she were not related to The Rock? We'll never know for sure but considering better talent have been released, it's not likely. She's not better in the ring. She's average on the mic. Saying a few funny things doesn't mean she's better. Her nickname is one of the most forced in the company and that's really saying something. There's nothing she does that's worth a roster spot unless you put THAT much value in being big. Character work is important but if you can't work a decent match after nearly a decade in the business you don't belong. Ask The Miz. She doesn't deserve more credit, she's evaluated accurately based on her continued poor performances in the ring. There's no credibility in beating someone who can barely move."

[8.0] "Huge improvement from Nia Jax in the last year or so, she's went from constantly injuring her opponents and not putting on anything compelling to smashing the competition, having an immensley dominant championship reign as the women's champion in the latter stages of 2024, and overall just absolutely smashing it. Have to give credit where it's due, she's gotten a lot better and she's also paved the way for what will be a hopefully great Tiffany Stratton reign, after the story that lead up to her taking the belt"

[6.0] "Alright, post-2023 Nia Jax has improved BIG TIME compared in this 2nd WWE run to her bad 1st run. She's had good matches against Becky Lynch, Rhea Ripley, Tiffany Stratton, and Naomi on Smackdown over the past year. She's also had solid matches with Bayley and Liv Morgan as well. Nia is a decent enough hoss in the upper-midcard role. I don't think she should be a permanent main-eventer, but I do think there's now a place for Nia as an upper-midcard monster heel. Nia earned herself a 6 here after redeeming herself in her current run."

[9.0] "She deserves way better; she's improved SO MUCH since her early days, to the point where she's genuinely one of the best things going on right now in the women's division; she's genuinely funny and great as a heel. She has aura and charisma, and her finisher is badass. She has such a bright future ahead of her; I'm definitely looking forward to what they're going to do with her story-wise, especially since she's Samoan; she could get involved with the Bloodline or something similar. Her 2024 was full of funny highlights like "BBL Bayley", "Your mom sucks", etc.; this is why I don't understand some people saying she's not good on the mic; she's funny and charismatic, so there's that. People are very harsh on here; it's genuinely baffling. Also, to the people saying she's unsafe IN THE BIG 2025: who has she injured in these past two years? edit: just had a banger with Tiffany, GIVE THIS WOMAN HER FLOWERS NOW."

[0.0] "Beyond overhyped and over-pushed in her run back in 2018 & yet never ever got better. A rare example of someone gets worse with time. In her time in NXT was bad but she had help from management and a clearly defined roster. Her best match was with Bayley in London Takeover. Her worst match is anything she hurts people on purpose, many many many people. Name them and i bet the longer she stays in the business, there will be more. Bad wrestler from a good family."

[0.0] "I hate her so much as a wrestler, maybe she's not bad person cause she seems nice at some videos and vlogs, but as a wrestler... I don't get her, like WWE gets some Heavyweight woman who's not really much skilled and put her in the main-event for her entire career. Please man, why? ! She even did injured so much wrestlers before and she's so annoying as a character, I mean you really want Randy Orton to punt-kick her in the head xD. But I'm trully respect Nia for being so annoying especially on the mic, she's an a-lister in this thing."

[4.0] "I think Nia is fine. She's not great in ring, or really on the mic but he's not as bad as some people would suggest. I think she plays her role well. She's a utility player in WWE and steps in when required. Can't realistically give her any more than a 4, but anything lower is probably a bit harsh."

[7.0] "From becoming a complete danger in the ring to one of the best re hires is amazing I remember completely despising Nia Jax during her first run. After getting g let go she got re hired and she was a completely different athlete I never thought I would be a Nia Jax fan she has improved tremendously."

[4.0] "She has improved in that she has learned how to play her role correctly and really use her size and power to her advantage and she's learned how to put people over properly in a match. Those are good skills but as an actual wrestler, nah, just nah. Wins the lumber around uselessly competition handily."

[8.0] "I wish there was a way to break up Nia's rating between pre-2023 and post-2023. While not everything is great in this post 2023 rub, she has had much more good than bad and her matches have a way of building throughout the match. Shes the best heel in the women's division and understands HOW someone her size should wrestle. The match she just had with Tiffany on SmackDown was phenomenal and a great example of how to create drama in a match that has a somewhat predictable outcome. I suspect she will be remembered very differently than had she not had this 2nd run."

[1.0] "Nia Jax is absolutely terrible in all aspects of wrestling. She cannot cut a promo to save her life, in ring she is very sloppy, and clumsy. People often say that she improved but I don't see it at all besides the fact she may be a little safer in ring."

[9.0] "Nia Jax has always been different, and that's exactly what made her important. While everyone else fit the same mold -- size two with flips and kicks -- Nia walked in with unmatched power, undeniable presence, and an energy that screamed: "You don't belong in the ring with me." And that's what a monster should do. Sure, she wasn't perfect. But you know what? She got better. While critics were screaming "unsafe, " Nia was delivering believable beatdowns, selling angles like a true powerhouse, and making stars like Bayley, Sasha, and Alexa earn every second they shared the ring with her. When she plowed through opponents, it felt real. When she lost, it meant something. That's how you build equity in a division. And let's not forget -- she was one of the few women bold enough to mix it up with the men, take the hits, and fire right back. Whether you loved her or hated her, she brought heat, and heat equals relevance. Nia was never boring. She was raw, authentic, and didn't water herself down to fit the mold. She broke it."

[0.0] "I would say the fact that this clumsy, reckless, untalented eyesore is still employed is baffling but we all know why (nepotism). What a joke of a wrestler. If you want to argue that go away heat is good then go right on ahead because that's incredibly wrong. She needs to retire yesterday."

[5.0] "oof I don't love her but I feel people are too harsh on her because of her opinions and personal life. For a giant she has been better and has improved a lot. I don't like her a lot as a person but she is quite entertaining."

[1.0] "Unsafe, unentertaining. The best thing she's ever done in the ring is the face she made after Rhea gave her a stinkface. Honestly, she didn't blink twice when she was completely excluded from the mania build, and nothing she's ever done in the ring has ever left me excited. The only emotion I ever feel is worry for whoever she faces for their safety."

[2.0] "While I can appreciate the improvement she's had lately, she still has major flaws. When she's not being an unsafe wrestler, she's still landing her moves incorrectly. She's gotten really good on the mic, which I'll give props to, because I find myself enjoying her promos nowadays. If she had good matches then she'd be rated so much higher."

[0.0] "(Sorry english is not my first language) Wow like wow i need to write 250 worlds to explain why Im giving 0 to person who is only good at injuring wrestlers... She is a disaster not good at anything she can throw other womens only bcs she is fat not muscular"

[4.0] "I must confess with a certain but funny embarrassment, it was Nia Jax who got me back into wrestling a little over six years ago. I hadn't watched wrestling for years and knew nothing about it. I'd been following some videographers on YouTube who were wrestling fans, and when I saw Nia Jax, I thought "you've got to watch this". A few clips later, I was thrilled to see a big monster woman wrestling after Karma's failure. Then I discovered the excellent Four Horsewoman, then Asuka and the match at Survivor Series between Charlotte and Ronda, and here I am again... Thanks to women's wrestling and Nia Jax. Looking back, Nia Jax frustrated me for a long time. Indeed, when you see some of her matches, notably the one against Ronda during which she represents the bulldozer she should always have been, or certain clashes against Asuka, as well as her evolution during her first run as champion and the months before she left to undergo knee surgery, you're entitled to think that she was starting to become reasonably good in the ring and was carrying the women's division as the only credible Heel. Unfortunately, her return during the COVID crisis sent her back to square one: she had become slow, didn't seem to be making any effort, her character was ridiculous and her hit lacked impact. Her two runs as tag team champion, though intended to be impactful, were painful to watch in the ring. Since her latest comeback, I have to admit that I'm enjoying watching her, her character is cool enough and her in-ring abilities are a little more developed and relevant (even if we're far from the level of Rhea, Bayley, Iyo or Bianca). Am I happy to see her beat Bayley after a fairly short reign? Not really, no. Do I think her reign can be fun to follow? Yes, I think it can tell some entertaining stories. Nia Jax is often frustrating, but she makes a convincing villain and needed to win back a title to regain some momentum."

[6.0] "Completely unsafe wrestler, she injured so many wrestlers it's not even funny. I cant recall a good match of hers but I'll give it to her she has a couple of moments such as getting her ass beat at the royal rumble by Mysterio and Ortan. Her other biggest moment takes place because of her hole, and the less said about that the better. Anyways fuck Nia Jax she really sucks at wrestling. Gonna give her a 1 because she seems like a nice person outside of the ring though. EDIT: Imma keep this short but she has improved so much since coming back at the rumble having some really good matches and moments. Not my favorite but she's a huge improvement from the botch machine she once was."

[10.0] "Nia Jax does not deserve to have such a low rating, her rating should be much higher. She's become a reliable worker, and someone you can trust to put on a good match, she is a hilarious heel and her character work recently has been amazing, I hope that she gets back on TV ASAP! I hope that she gets one more world championship run because this recent one was good. She deserves more respect from the fanbase, she helped get Tiffany Stratton over, she helped get Candice LeRae over, someone who has deserved to be over for a long time. Her finisher is awesome, and I feel like she is getting quicker and more adventurous in the ring as time goes on. I wish nothing but the best for her, and like I said hopefully she is back on TV soon, and maybe her and Candice can be tag champions."

[1.0] "Sloppy, unsafe, anti-charismatic. Her size was the only thing of value that she ever provided, and even that worked against her when she started hurting everyone. A total joke of a wrestler, and an automatic channel-changer. I can't say enough bad things about her as a wrestler."

[6.0] "Back in her first run, I'd have given Nia Jax no more than a 3/10. She was dangerous and unreliable, just look at how badly she busted up Becky Lynch. But since she returned, she has honed her craft. Her move set utilises her size and how unique that is in the women's division. She makes even the largest of other women in WWE look average sized. Much improved and hopefully even more to come"

[3.0] "All credit to Nia Jax for improving quite a moderate amount in the last year-and-a-half. But I always take into account EVERYTHING in a career during reviews, so Nia Jax's rating will have to stay low mainly because of a lot of poor-quality matches (some of them being absolute shitters) and other historical instances of injuring wrestlers and/or infamous moments. Pushing Nia Jax as a face back in 2018 who went against "bullying" was *certainly* a choice and definitely not a good one at that considering her in-ring work was among the worst on the women's roster at the time, also Alexa Bliss seemed to be doing quite well as champion during that time. There's also a low-hanging fruit which is Nia punching Becky in the face, but one could argue that it was somewhat accidental and made Becky Lynch into a much larger deal and babyface in the company. Nia for a long time never improved much in the ring until recently, where she has been doing arguably her best work (by her standards) and giving us good segments and promos and putting Tiffany over at the beginning of this year, so all credit to her in that regard. Still, I stand by my rating because 1 year of work doesn't mean all years of her work."

[10.0] "i have to give nia jax a 10 because shes great. so many people say shes unsafe in the ring but lets be real she has injured the same amount of people as some of the top wwe talents? ! Shes great on the mic and makes an amazing heel. shes also proved that her in ring work has gotten way better over the years. she is able to have great almost 20 minute matches which proves that she has taken the time to get better in the ring. her first title run was great as it was her first real wwe storyline and it showed that even though shes different shes still amazing. i liked her and shayna as tag champs as once again she was able to prove what a great heel she really is. i think it would be fun to see her as a face again though! her latest title run has just proved that she is amazing and should have many more. Don't understand the hate around her and people constantly bodyshaming her even though shes great. 10/10."

[6.0] "Wow , she's way overhated here, i think she's having a great run since 2024 consistently performing decently , and she's always putting over talents like what she did with liv rhea and tiffany this past year , think it's really unfortunate for her to miss the mania season completely as she's right now."

[8.0] "she is honestly harshly low rated here. from being released back in 2021, to returning on RAW in 2023 during a rhea ripley match, to winning queen of the king and then capturing the women's championship... she has definitely proved that she is way better than what people give her credit for. she has had amazing matches with becky, rhea etc and i definitely think her returning helped bring something new to the division, as it felt something was missing.i think the hate that she gets is way too old, and tiring. she is not as bad as people claim she is. i can understand, nia from her first run getting the criticism but she is not the same nia as she was then. she has definitely redeemed herself and i don't think people credit her as much as they should for it."

[6.0] "Honestly shes not that bad. Her recent run has been her best work in her career. Bland on the mic, but imposing in the ring. She is a below average worker but she knows her role of being that giant in the women division. U could actually say she is the only giant gimmick to actually work in the 2020's"

[6.0] "She's one of the most unique and distinct characters the WWE has had in the last 10+ years. Her earlier work is definitely leaving a stain on her recent excellence, it feels like we're not talking enough about how her movement has improved, her reactions, all of her promo work. Overall, much more deserving of praise these days and hopefully she'll be sticking around for a few more years."

[5.0] "She brings a nice variety to WWE's women's division. Good work on being a monster heel. Promos are ok."

[1.0] "I'll give her a one because to be honest I don't mind her mic work. But she unironically might be one of the worst wrestlers I've watched in a ring. Incredibly slow, intimidating but cannot use her size and build in a way that's entertaining. She only has chemistry with two people and one of them is on leave (Becky) and the other i doubt they'll capitalize on (Naomi). Even against some of the better talent like Rhea, Lyra, Bianca, Zoey, & Charlotte she's disappointed heavily in my eyes. Pair that with Hunter trying to push her practically to the moon which just leaves a poorer taste in my mouth. She's not good at all and has not developed over the past few years substantially. I really hope they abandon the "Nia Jax Project" soon but after what happened in the Rumble they're still convinced this can work."
