Earlier this week, RAW Superstar Nia Jax has taken a leave of absence from WWE. There were conflicting reports about whether she walked out due to unhappiness about her role in the company or if it was for unrelated ‘personal reasons.’
To update her situation, multiple reports have since confirmed Nia Jax has been frustrated with several things. Bryan Alvarez noted on Wednesday’s Wrestling Observer Live that she wanted the high-profile spot of being Asuka’s first main roster opponent at Sunday’s TLC pay-per-view. That spot ultimately went to Emma.
Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated also noted that Nia Jax was also dissatisfied with the money is she is making. As a close relative of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and with her past work as a model, the belief is that she has more options (and thus, leverage) than most. Former WWE Superstar Eva Marie has signed on with The Rock’s 7 Bucks production company, the same group developing the movie about Paige’s family.
