Nia Jax is not concerned with the hatred from the fans and is very aware that she is not the most popular Superstar on the roster.
Following a cameo appearance at the 2023 Royal Rumble, Jax officially rejoined WWE on September 11th, interrupting a match between Rhea Ripley and Raquel Rodriguez. The online reaction to the return was mixed. While some were happy to see the former Women’s Champion return, others criticised the move as spots from the pandemic Era involving Jax were still fresh in fan’s minds.
Unfortunately, the modern age means that comments can be spread worldwide for all to see. While multiple negative comments can have a substantial impact on mental health, The Irresistible Force uses it as fuel to anger the trolls even more.
Speaking with Q1057, Jax admitted that a lot of WWE fans are not Nia Jax fans, but has no plans on trying to change their minds:
“I don’t really care if people like me or not, most people don’t like me, and that actually fuels my fire to go get in there and just really get them p***ed off even more.”
While the former Women’s Champion has been predominantly a heel on her main roster run, Jax was a babyface when she won her first title at WrestleMania 34. Later in the interview, Jax admitted that she prefers to be booed:
“It’s definitely fun being a heel, babyfaces –- meh, not for me. I’m not trying to get everybody to like me.”
Nia Jax Details Mental Health Struggles
Although Jax is in a better place mentally in 2023, the same can not be said back in 2021 when she was released from her WWE contract. With many fans posting hurtful comments when the news broke about Jax’s release, Nia Jax detailed how the tirade of online abuse affected her mental health.
