You had to know she'd be included.

Nia Jax was Shayna Baszler's tag-team partner for far too long (the pair teamed up between August 2020-September 2021), and that union held the 'Queen Of Spades' back terribly. Worse, Nia's singles efforts against everyone from Alexa Bliss and Rhea Ripley to Charlotte Flair were either awkward or sloppy.

The 30 August Raw match with Charlotte, in particular, was a complete mess. That'd end up being one of Jax' final performances for WWE - the company released her in November mid-sabbatical. Fingers crossed Nia's mental health is on the mend (that was the reported reason for her break), but there's no getting away from the fact that her in-work was often poor.

2021 was yet another year of reckless-looking spots and sequences for the former Raw Women's Champion, and you'd have to go some to find many fans who consistently enjoyed her matches. Nia, however, wasn't this year's worst WWE worker...
