It was a first-time-ever match-up. Jax was all fired up and started some trash-talk with Ripley after the bell rang. The two locked up in a classic wrestling stance and Jax took it to the corner, man-handling Rhea.
Nia Jax bleeds profusely
The match-up between the former women’s champions was great in terms of physicality, but Nia Jax got busted open halfway through the match.
Ripley was getting the upper hand during the match as she went to the top and nailed a missile dropkick for a close two count on Nia. She then turned it around quickly and went for a powerbomb. But Ripley sat on her shoulder and fought it.
