Nia Jax Explains Last Year’s Hiatus from WWE

In a time where the WWE saw some of the top stars getting frustrated with the company, you might recall rumors swirling about Nia Jax as well. Last fall, Nia took a break from the WWE. That break led to speculation that she, too, was unhappy with her own role in the company.

Some journalists went as far as suggesting that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had actually advised Nia to walk out. Of course, she returned to RAW just a few weeks later.

Well, Nia sure set everyone straight. After speaking with popculture.com, the “Irresistible Force” put the kibosh on those rumors completely.

Nia denied that she took time off due to creative differences. She also said it was “crazy” to think that The Rock would get involved in any way. Jax reminds everyone that Dwayne would never tell her to do something against the WWE. That’s because, she says, the company gave him the start he needed.

“That was the craziest thing I’ve ever heard…it’s competely false and hilarious.”

The real reason, she reveals, isn’t dramatic in the slightest. In fact, she says that she was actually injured:

“I had actually had an injury that happened to me personally on a flight. An overhead bag fell directly on top of my head while I was on a plane. I was out of it. I was completely out of it. I’m not kidding you.”

Nia also goes on to explain that she wasn’t in a storyline at the time. Since it was right before a tour, she was advised to take time off and rest.

“That was it. That was the bottom line,” Nia states, matter-of-fact. “That was the story.”
