If you thought Nia Jax wasn't done stirring the pot from beyond WWE, you're dead wrong.

Jax, who now goes by her real name Lina Fanene, was among the mass of releases in November 2021, ending her seven-plus year tenure with the company. She has not been shy in saying whatever is on her mind on social media and in interviews, suggesting that her release might have come down to her refusal to get vaccinated and alleging that a lot of professional athletes have bought fake vaccination cards rather than getting the jab.

But now, Fanene has weighed in the mood of her former colleagues in WWE. Responding to a fan on Twitter who asked that she return to the company to team with Doudrop to compete for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, Jax responded:

In reality, this comports with numerous reports several sites have posted about how WWE morale is at an all-time low. But Fanene, who just recently completed her 90-day non-compete period, is suggesting that wrestlers are confiding in her regularly about how awful things are in the "E."

Jax also took time Wednesday to share some political thoughts, reposting on Instagram a comment from right-wing "political influencer" Rogan O'Handley, "All these mfs saying "I stand with Ukraine" couldn't even stand for their own personal rights for 2 years because they were too scared to breathe."

Fanene added "Boom" to her Instagram story, because evidently, being vaccinated and wearing a mask is a sign of weakness and comparable to siding with a nation being invaded.

You know, as terrible as the dozens upon dozens of wrestlers WWE released last year, maybe they got this one right.
