Nia Jax Challenges Bayley to ‘Beat BBL Allegations’ Ahead of Royal Rumble

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — WWE superstar Nia Jax reignited her ongoing feud with Bayley during a media event ahead of the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble, questioning whether her rival’s physique is natural and challenging her to “beat the allegations” of having undergone a Brazilian butt lift (BBL).

Jax, who previously referred to Bayley as “BBL Bayley” during a July 2024 episode of WWE SmackDown, doubled down on her comments during the press conference. “I think Bayley needs to prove that she doesn’t have a BBL. I mean, have you seen that thing?” Jax said, drawing laughter from the crowd. “I appreciate cheeks, too. It’s clear that I do. But I’m just saying, Bayley has to beat the allegations. She has to beat them. That thing is thanging. I don’t know. Is that real? Is that natural? I mean, it looks amazing. It has a nice bounce to it. It’s got a great shape to it.”

The comments come as both wrestlers prepare to compete in the Women’s Royal Rumble match at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The annual event, known for its high-stakes drama and surprise entrants, will see 30 women vying for a championship opportunity at WrestleMania.

Jax’s remarks about Bayley’s physique first went viral in July 2024, when she coined the nickname “BBL Bayley” during a heated exchange on SmackDown. At the time, Jax clarified that she was not criticizing Bayley’s appearance but rather questioning its authenticity. “I have a natural, beautiful booty,” Jax said in a follow-up interview. “I’m just saying, let’s keep it real.”

Bayley, a former WWE Women’s Champion and one of the most popular figures in the company, has not publicly responded to Jax’s latest comments. However, fans on social media have been quick to weigh in, with many defending Bayley and others praising Jax for her boldness.

The rivalry between Jax and Bayley dates back several years, with the two wrestlers clashing both in and out of the ring. Their upcoming showdown in the Royal Rumble match adds another layer of intrigue to their storied feud. With a WrestleMania title shot on the line, tensions are expected to run high as both women look to outlast 28 other competitors.

The 2025 WWE Royal Rumble will take place on Saturday, February 1, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The event will be broadcast live on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network internationally.
