Nia Jax says her firing from WWE was one of the best things to ever happen to her.
Last month, Nia made her explosive return to WWE, attacking Rhea Ripley and Raquel Rodriguez which took the two women out of action for a number of weeks.
Jax was originally released by the company in 2021 before returning for a one night appearance at the 2023 women’s Royal Rumble.
In a chat with Corey Graves on his After The Bell podcast, Nia Jax dropped a truth bomb.
“I was pretty shocked too, with my time away, and it happened to become one of the best things that ever happened to me. I was able to really deep dive into finding myself again … When you’re in the bubble for so long, you kind of get lost in the sauce of WWE. It’s a big, I don’t want to say drug, but it’s a bubble. You’re in a bubble and you’re stuck in the WWE world and you don’t really see outside. You have your blinders on. Being released gave me the time to actually dive back into myself and figure out what I want and what I want to do.”

Jax is set to challenge for the WWE Women’s World title along with three other women when Rhea Ripley puts the title on the line in a fatal five way back at WWE Crown Jewel.
