Nia Jax thinks Rhea Ripley needs to be knocked down a few pegs.
Rhea Ripley has been nothing short of dominant in the year of 2023. Taking the SmackDown Women’s Championship from Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39, she was soon known as the Women’s World Champion on Monday Night RAW, which she remains to this day.
Jax is also a former WWE Women’s Champion and returned briefly during Ripley’s 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble win earlier this year at the Premium Live Event.
Speaking with Sportskeeda Wrestlebinge, Jax gave her thoughts on Ripley’s current run in WWE noting that “The Eradicator” could do with getting knocked down a few pegs.
Rhea’s doing a great job. She’s kind of this rise. She might need to be knocked down a couple pegs,” said Jax. “I think she’s incredible. She’s so talented. I mean, I saw her when she first came up on the main roster. I even saw her in NXT. She’s got such a long list of talents she can do. I really enjoy watching her, especially standing up to the guys.”
“I’ve had a match with Rhea once before, and she busted my eye open, so maybe I have to get a little payback. I don’t know, I think we’d have a good dogfight in there.”

Jax revealed in the same interview that she continues to train in the ring, but did not confirm or deny the reports of her possibly returning to WWE in the near future.
We will have to wait and see if Jax will make her return and get her revenge on Rhea Ripley in the near future.
