Nia Jax Dominates WWE, Wins Queen of the Ring and WWE Women’s Championship
Nia Jax, whose real name is Savelina Fanene, has been making waves in the WWE with her recent victories. Born on May 29, 1984, Jax is an Australian-American professional wrestler currently signed to WWE, performing on the SmackDown brand. She recently emerged as the winner of the Queen of the Ring tournament, defeating Naomi, Jade Cargill, Bianca Belair, and Lyra Valkyria in the process.
Jax’s triumph in the Queen of the Ring tournament earned her a WWE Women’s Championship match at SummerSlam, where she defeated Bayley to capture the title. This victory marked a significant milestone as she became the first wrestler rehired by Paul “Triple H” Levesque to win a world title.
Leading up to her current reign, Jax had a notable career in WWE, starting with her signing in early 2014 and assignment to the developmental brand NXT. She made her in-ring debut under the ring name Zada, which was later changed to Nia Jax. Jax was promoted to the main roster as part of the 2016 WWE Draft and has since been involved in several high-profile feuds and championships, including a brief release from WWE in November 2021 before her return in September 2023.
Recently, Jax has been involved in intense matches, including a champion vs. champion match against Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan to determine the first-ever WWE Crown Jewel Women’s Champion. This match is set to take place at the WWE Crown Jewel event, streaming live on Peacock and the WWE Network.
Jax’s current storyline also involves an alliance with Tiffany Stratton, who played a crucial role in her victory over Bayley at SummerSlam. The dynamic between Jax, Morgan, and Stratton has added a layer of complexity to the ongoing rivalries in the WWE women’s division).
