Apparently, Nia Jax wanted to headline WrestleMania at any cost. She made another move at fulfilling her dream when she attacked R-Truth who was entering the Men’s Royal Rumble at #30. Nia replaced Truth in the match, becoming the 4th woman to compete in a Men’s Royal Rumble match after Chyna, Beth Phoenix, and Kharma.

Nia Jax entered the Men’s Royal Rumble match and quickly decimated Andrade, Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton, and Mustafa Ali. She even eliminated Ali to score her first elimination in a Men’s Royal Rumble. Nia looked dominant, but her dream run was about to end soon.

In one of the most classic Royal Rumble moments, Nia Jax was at the receiving end of three top finishing moves in wrestling/WWE. She laid Orton on the second rope and persuaded Mysterio to hit him with 619. Just as Mysterio ran to the ropes, Nia came in and picked him up to eliminate him.

Before she could do anything to Mysterio, she walked straight into a Superkick from Dolph Ziggler. Mysterio quickly got off Nia and kicked her to set her up on the second rope.

He then hit her with his famous 619. But the cherry on the cake was Randy Orton delivering a picture-perfect RKO to Nia Jax. After all, it’s the RKO; it spares no one, not even women!
