During Saturday’s WWE NXT Takeover Brooklyn event, a video package aired hyping the debut of a new women’s wrestler, Nia Jax.
Nia Jax (real name Lina Fanene) is the real-life cousin of The Rock and a former college basketball star. She signed with WWE back in May and is one of the largest women’s wrestlers WWE has ever signed. Jax has teamed with Eva Marie at WWE live events and is being looked at as “the next Awesome Kong.”
Last August, she was involved in a bad accident with The Rock’s mother when the two were struck by a drunk driver. Thankfully there were no serious injuries – with The Rock posting an emotional message on Instagram shortly thereafter.
