Just incase you missed it!… RAW is celebrating their 25th Anniversary this month, and WWE have promised some big names to join the celebration.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Nia Jax commented on who she would most like to face in a match at the 25th Anniversary edition of RAW.
Nia explained that she would love to get in the ring with Bull Nakano who was her hero growing up, and “the definition of a badass woman”. Looking back at Nakano’s wrestling matches, Nia describes them as revolutionary – but without the benefit of the spotlight that modern day superstars of the women’s division are given.
Nia Jax offered thanks to those women of Nakano’s generation, for paving the way and enabling her, and other female superstars, to access new and exciting opportunities.
Jax also expressed love for the stiff Japanese style that Nakano featured, comparing it to women in UFC:
“You have women in UFC who are kicking the crap out of each other. If you look at what they were doing back then, you wouldn’t want to be on the end of one of those backfists or the way they hit each other.”
Opinion:
Looking back at these matches, it’s easy to see a comparison between Nia Jax and Bull Nakano. But one key difference is Nakano’s use of submissions which Nia lacks. If she found or used a submission would that enable Nia Jax to become a dominant force in WWE?
