9 Wrestlers Who Had Backstage Heat With Roman Reigns
9. Nia Jax
Remember when Nia Jax made Lana's life hell by putting her through the commentary table every week?
"The Irresistible Force" looked to do the same to poor Lana at Survivor Series 2020 despite them being on the same team in the traditional Raw vs. SmackDown elimination tag team match. However, WWE had to cancel the spot when Roman Reigns convinced the officials to do so since he had a similar table spot during his champion vs. champion match against Drew McIntyre in the main event.
WWE then booked Nia Jax not to let Lana enter the ring throughout the match, but the latter ended up in the right place at the right time in the final moment as Bianca Belair and Jax get counted out, and she ended up being the sole survivor.
Lana recalled the incident while talking on Chris Jericho's Talk Is Jericho podcast. Nia Jax was reportedly not pleased with Roman Reigns' antics and had an intense argument with "The Tribal Chief" backstage. But Reigns got his way and went ahead with the table spot during his match against Drew McIntyre.
It seems Jax held on to that resentment for some time, as during her time away from WWE, she even took a shot at Roman Reigns while answering fan questions on Instagram. But she must've changed her mind as she proudly held up the "We The Ones" sign during the 2024 Hall of Fame ceremony as Roman Reigns made his way out to induct Paul Heyman.
