So for all those who grumbled about how stupid the jobber squashes Raw has put on for the past several weeks, observe Nia Jax Monday night. Since the brand split, she has obliterated no-name opponents in impressive fashion, building up a reputation for (wo)manhandling challengers.

Monday, she squared off with her first “name” wrestler on the main roster, Alicia Fox. And poor Foxy never stood a chance. Jax demolished her, ragdolling Alicia into the barricade repeatedly before spearing her through the barricade. The end result? The crowd cheered Nia as she walked off, impressed with the performance.

That is how you pay off weeks of squashing jobbers. Nia had built a reputation and then continued it by bulldozing Alicia. It’ll be interesting to see how they continue her ascent in the women’s division, and at what point she sets her sights on the Women’s Championship.
