Nia Jax Update

As we reported last week, Nia Jax is currently on an approved leave of absence from WWE. There had been rumors that she had walked out of RAW last week, unhappy with the creative direction of her character. Other reports said that she didn’t actually walk out of RAW and was just taking some time off. Then, her real-life best friend Alexa Bliss said in an interview that the issue was WWE’s road schedule.

Well, today, we get a new report. Now, it’s being said that Jax had an issue with the plan for her to lose clean to Sasha Banks at this past Sunday’s TLC PPV. According to this report, Jax did walk out of RAW last week and then requested the leave of absence from the company after speaking with her cousin Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Apparently, Johnson told her to walk out if she was unhappy.

Once again, I think this all boils down to who you believe and what news source you trust. The truth more than likely lies somewhere in the middle of all the stories.
