When one toys with someone else’s emotions, it’s not well-received, even if it’s a giant promotion like WWE. So, when WWE released Nia Jax in November 2021, the relationship between them turned sour.

As a result, when WWE made her the “sweet offer” to make a comeback with Royal Rumble 2022, Jax made her answer clear with two words: “f**k no.”

Speaking on The Sessions with Renee Paquette, the former WWE Superstar reiterated the conversation between the WWE official and herself prior to Royal Rumble 2022 right after she was offered the chance to come back during the women’s match.

“He was like, actually, ‘No, this is an official call.’ I was like, ‘f**k no, I’m not coming back.’ And, he was like, ‘Oh, well, we’d like to offer you this.’ I said, ‘First of all, I already know I’m still under my 90 days. You’re still going to be paying me anyway, so you’re not offering me anything. No, I’m not f**king coming back’. I was like, ‘Is this all this was?’ and he was like, ‘Yes.’ I’m like, Okay, bye.” H/t The Sessions with Renee Paquette

It’s clear as day where Nia Jax [Savelina Fanene] stands about WWE. In the future, she may want to get back in the ring again, but there’s a good chance it won’t be WWE!

Nia Jax gave the fans a glimpse into her future plans

While she didn’t want to come back to Royal Rumble 2022, she hasn’t completely ruled out the pro-wrestling. She wants to be in the ring and wants to smash to back on the path to glory. But she also has something else on her mind. The goal of starting a family.

At this juncture, Jax has the time to start a family. She wants to find the right man for herself and begin her family. It’s probably not what they thought she’d be looking forward to in 2022, but life has a way of throwing curveballs.

Now, when all is done, and she refocuses on pro-wrestling again, she has more than WWE in front of her. Several promotions would love to have her on the women’s roster.
