WWE seriously needs to reevaluate the use of nia jax in the womens division watching her wrestle petit women and manhandle them isnt good for business at all. They are going to end up having a ton of injuries on hand they should instead have her face the men or cruiserweights if they think shes too light.
Yeah, and Braun Strowman shouldn't be fighting Finn Balor at all. Oh wait, that was actually good.
The implication that Nia can't fight small women because of her size is asinine. You may as well also say the tiniest counterweights should be in the women's division while you're at it.
Jax fits the role of a monster, like Braun, Kaine, Big Show, Andre, Bundy, etc. They are using her status to springboard Ronda into legitimacy, and it's the perfect way to use her. To make it work, you have to see Jax as an indomitable force. That means lots of squash matches, and a few slightly longer, but still definitive, matches with established superstars.
They've established that Jax is extremely hard to defeat now. Now the real work will be on both Ronda and Jax to make each other look good so they can springboard Ronda into a top spot without making Jax look too weak. This is the part that I'm concerned about, since both women are pretty inexperienced still, especially with storytelling.
So far, we have seen that Jax can be very expressive, and Rousey does have some prior experience with acting, so hopefully they can draw on that and feed off each other to create something special. It may be one of the last times Ronda is in an underdog position.
