Nia Jax has seen a lot during her career in WWE. Although The Rock’s cousin gained attention for her activities in the ring, it was one bump on the apron that made her name trend unlike anything else.
Nia Jax Opens Up About Her “Hole”
On the February 8th, 2021 episode of Monday Night Raw, Nia Jax faced C.J. Perry in a singles match, who was known as Lana at the time. During the match, Jax fell onto the ring apron and exclaimed, ‘My hole.’ The rest is history.
While speaking to Chris Van Vliet, Nia Jax revealed that she didn’t mean to go viral with her hole statement. In fact, it was all a surprise to her.
“When I walked back after the match, everybody was laughing. I was like, ‘okay,’ Then everybody was like, you’re trending on the internet right now. Like, number one of my hole, and I was like, ‘There’s no way.’ It was a joke that I was playing. It was COVID times, it was just a different era.”
“But yeah, that took on a whole other level. It was incredible. The funny thing is I didn’t realize that the cameras were gonna pick it up that loud. I say a lot of things in the ring that don’t get picked up. I’m cussing up a storm, and now it was, like, clear as day. And I’m like [what]. My mom’s proud. My mom’s so proud of me.”
Nia Jax Wanted To Make Vince McMahon Laugh
Jax previously re-told this story to K&S Wrestlefest, where The Irresistible Force revealed that her reaction was for an audience of two, as she actually was trying to make Vince McMahon and Triple H laugh with her “hole” comment.
“So it was more of a joke to pop Hunter and Vince (McMahon) in Gorilla. It was literally more to make them laugh. So when I did it, that was the intention and then when I got backstage and saw that everybody was texting me about ‘my hole’ trending, that’s not what my intention was,”
Jax was released by the company on November 4th, 2021. Surprisingly, she made an unexpected appearance as an entrant in the 2023 women’s Royal Rumble match. This year, she will compete in the 2024 Women’s Royal Rumble match as a full-time Superstar once again, because Triple H brought her back along with so many more that Vince McMahon fired over the past couple of years.
