Back in 2017, Nia Jax almost injured Charlotte Flair to a grave extent when she botched twice during the same match.
On an episode of Monday Night Raw, Nia Jax was supposed to execute a Shoulder Breaker and sell Flair’s signature move, the moonsault. Unfortunately, both the times, she pushed her opponent to the brink of severe danger.
While trying to execute the first move, Charlotte Flair’s head bumped against Jax’s knee. She knew she botched because while Flair was recovering, Jax was right by her side.

Coming to the moonsault, Jax missed the catch and Charlotte Flair landed on her face. This could have ended with major injuries and concussions.
Nia Jax had been training as a professional wrestler for a few years in 2017. Considering it’s a contact sport, even a decade of training falls short in case the athlete cannot execute proper form.
This is an issue Jax has been facing from the beginning. She has come under the spotlight often for injuring her opponents and botching basic moves.
Nia Jax severely injured another Superstar
Another famous example of her botches is her misdirected punch at Becky Lynch during Survivor Series.
It so happened that all the Superstars taking part in the Raw vs. SmackDown Women’s match got into a huge brawl. When it ended, ‘The Man’ was seen walking around with a bloodied face.
