10 Biggest Breakout WWE Stars Of 2016
7. Nia Jax
Nia Jax is not like most girls.
Don't believe me, her theme song will tell you as much.
So will her appearance and performance in the ring. A full-figured, former plus-size model, Jax is bigger than the majority of her opponents and incorporates a power-based offense that sets her apart from her peers. In NXT, she grew as a worker before the eyes of an audience doubtful that she could evolve past "The Rock's cousin" status that had been unfairly heaped on her.
Not only did she grow into a very solid worker, she proved adaptable, working Asuka and Bayley in two entirely different wrestling matches that earned acclaim from fans.
Her run on Raw has, to this point, consisted of convincing squashes and a signature win over the aforementioned Bayley as SummerSlam approaches. How she manages to follow up on the strong booking via matches against popular stars such as Sasha Banks and division leader Charlotte could determine how much success she finds in WWE.
