Last Match: vs. Shayna Baszler (20 September 2021 Raw)

Few fans on Twitter will mourn the loss of Nia Jax to WWE's female ranks.

Nia was never the most cherished by the online community, but she was considered a reliable star by her employer. No longer, it seems. The one-time Raw Women's Champion and two-time Women's Tag-Team Champ has been cut free after nearly seven years of service.

She's arguably the biggest star thus far to get released - Keith Lee and Karrion Kross are up there, but they never had the WWE longevity that Jax did. Sadly, her run will be remembered more for botches and injuries than anything else.
