WWE Superstar Nia Jax revealed in an interview that she had to approach WWE Management to complain about one of her colleagues. The complaint was later confirmed to be directed towards Ronda Rousey, after her match with Alexa Bliss.
Preferring not to out the name of the person back in April, Jax feels that the situation has cooled over now and finally answered the question.

“Yes, it was Ronda. I do not think she took liberties, I think things happen,” says Jax. Apparently, Rousey was a bit too forceful and rough while wrestling against Bliss, and Jax noticed this.
Ronda Rousey is very capable and does not hesitate to use her physical strength to defeat her opponents. Her powerful submissions earned her straight wins up to the main championship.
Jax felt that Rousey was going over the line against Alexa Bliss. “And Alexa is very strong, she’s so strong-willed and she doesn’t want to give up,” says Jax.

Alexa Bliss will never complain about her pain said Jax

Supporting a close friend, Jax admits that Bliss has an unbreakable spirit. Her mental strength and will power make up for her short stature. “She never wants to be told she can’t do something,” explains Jax.

Alexa Bliss has fought opponents twice her size, every step of the way. She is a hardened and lethal superstar. She made her way to the top, winning the RAW Women’s Championship from Sasha Banks.
Nia understands that Bliss would never approach the management herself as it would be a personal lapse for her. “So, for me personally,” says Jax, “being such a close friend and seeing that she was trying to fight through this, I felt the need to stand up for her because she wasn’t going to do it for herself.”
Alexa Bliss was fighting a silent battle and enduring the pain, so Jax decided to put her foot down. Not holding any grudges against Ronda Rousey, Jax understands why Rousey is so physical during her matches.
Jax explains that when Rousey joined WWE, she did not go through most of the training all superstars go through. This was because of her physique.

Ronda Rousey’s MMA instinct could be the problem according to Jax

Nia Jax says that Rousey’s instincts are to fight as if she’s in an octagon. She needed time to adjust to the WWE way of life and thought that someone needed to tell her about it. If Rousey continued the way that she did, someone was bound to get injured.
“And me being somebody who is a little bit bigger and a lot stronger than Alexa – not a little bit [laughs], a lot bigger and stronger than Alexa,” exclaims Nia, “I definitely knew I’d be able to handle working with Ronda a lot easier than somebody like Alexa just because I can deal with somebody who is stronger a little better than her, let’s just put it that way.”

Nia Jax says that she can handle Rousey because of her own built and strength. Since she’s built much bigger and is much stronger than Bliss, she can endure the intensity that Rousey brings into the duel.

However, she is concerned about her friend, who may not be able to endure Rousey’s wrath. Jax was right to bring the issue to the management’s notice. If only we had a friend like Nia Jax.
