12 Things You May Have Missed From Last Night's WWE Raw (June 11)
3. Nia The Liar
It feels like we rag on Nia Jax's character every single week, but it'd be wrong not to point these things out when the writers are doing such a consistently terrible job.
Two weeks ago, Nia became the bully she'd spent months raging against in her feud with Alexa Bliss. She followed this up with a more sympathetic turn the following week, and last night, Jax was back on the microphone, spouting all kinds of blasé bulls*** in her latest confrontation with Ronda Rousey.
The Raw Women's Champion borrowed a page from Roman Reigns' playbook, spitting the tired "loyal employee" rhetoric that was commonplace during 'The Big Dog's' rivalry with Brock Lesnar. Rousey, she claimed, had waltzed into the company and stolen a top spot, while Nia has been with WWE forever, earning her own spotlight through years' of tireless graft.
This is nonsense. Jax has only been under WWE employ since May 2015, which makes her one of the main roster's least tenured wrestlers. Someone whose cousin happens to be the most successful mainstream crossover star in wrestling history probably shouldn't crow about unearned positions, either...
