The REAL Reason Nia Jax Was In WWE's 2019 Men's Royal Rumble

That's right: having earlier been dumped from the women's Rumble by eventual winner Becky Lynch, Dwayne Johnson's cousin proved she really isn't like most girls content with their own version by lamping R-Truth and stealing his spot.

Jax proceeded to run rampage amongst the Rumble's remaining hopefuls, clocking Dolph and battering Rey Mysterio and Andrade before headbutting poor Mustafa Ali all the way to the floor. Guess his brief run at the top has already reached its apogee, then.

Orton, a master of the creep, snuck behind the Andre-like interloper, but even he found himself on the receiving end of the juggernaut Jax. However, before she could reverse his RKO, something amazing happened.

For the first time in eleven consecutive years, Dolph Ziggler did something of note in a Royal Rumble: he purposefully kicked a woman in the face (much to the delight of Jerry Lawler, an anachronism presumably brought back to match this moment).

You have to go back to 2006 when Edge gored through Beulah McGillicutty at One Night Stand for the last time a male wrestler purposefully attacked a woman on WWE TV. Soon after Ziggler's superboot met Jax's jaw, the floodgates opened: it was open season on the Facebreaker.

Orton wasn't in the mood for handshakes, and he soon put aside his recent differences with Mysterio to set about eliminating the uninvited participated. A quick 619 followed, before Jax was unceremoniously dumped out.

Her dream of fighting Brock Lesnar in Brooklyn had came to a dismal end.

Nia's cameo had lasted just over three minutes, but it raised many pertinent questions, most of them being "what the actual f... ?" Fingernails burrowed into scalps as bemused spectators wondered precisely what the purpose of this whole charade was... and was this the 'big' surprise?
