Nia Jax (Real Name: Savelina Fanene)
Nia Jax’s entrance music has lyrics that indicate she is not like most girls, and from the moment you see her, you know this to be true. Jax stands 6 feet tall, using her power and strength to dominate those who dare come in her way. The 33-year-old is a member of the famed Anoa’i family, the same bloodline that so many Samoan pro wrestlers, including Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (who is Jax’s cousin) share. She comes from a college basketball background and a career in plus-size modeling. Her social media posts look to inspire other women to feel empowered and to feel comfortable in their own skin. Jax is best friends with Bliss, as the two bonded during their days in NXT. They are so inseparable that the two even refer to themselves as Team Rude, collectively.

Big Show Talks Mentoring Nia Jax and Her Match Against Sasha Ban...

Big Show is now happily taking on the role of mentoring the next generation of WWE Superstars. One of his latest projects is helping take the dominant Nia Jax to the next level. Big Show said, “It is a testament to Sasha’s ability and a testament to Nia Jax as well. I’ve been trying to help Nia a little bit on the side.” WWE’s largest athlete sees the unlimited amount of potential in Jax and her hard-hitting style. “I want to make her understand what the business is about and what her role in it is. Those two on Raw put on one heck of an amazing competition. For me, at 45 years old and being a 23-year veteran, I got lost in the match,” Big Show gleefully said. He continued, “I got to be a fan while watching it. I was hollering up and down in the gorilla position. Seeing all those counters…it was such a great and competitive well-done match.”
