10 WWE Survivor Series 2018 Impulse Reactions
9. A Nia To Remember
The chorus of boos that rained down on Nia Jax as she joined Team Raw's Women's Division on the stage ahead of their elimination clash against their SmackDown Live equivalents may not have been for traditional storyline reasons, but both company and performer are clearly conspiring to make this tale of real heartbreak the new narrative.
Jax was cast from the off as the spoiler - she'd spoiled this show's heated headliner that had a butterfly effect that ultimately terminated AJ Styles 371+ day reign. She spoiled the potential for a babyface victory for Sasha Banks by needlessly chucking her from the top rope and into the waiting arms of Asuka. She even spoiled the hopeful pop the SmackDown Live fans gave 'The Empress Of Tomorrow' on Tuesday nights show by flattening her with a series of legrops and a match-winning samoan drop.
Her smiles were insincere, but for a change she was actually performing the role required. For one of the first times in her career, Nia Jax was excellent at something, and admirably unafraid of the heat in the process. Matches against Ronda Rousey and wronged party Lynch should be electric if this atmosphere keeps up.
