Blake Monroe and Lola Vice called the “WWE NXT” women’s locker room the “deepest division in women’s wrestling,” and after a shocking appearance from most important roster star Nia Jax, it appears that evidently WWE’s developmental territory just got deeper. Jax appeared during Lash Legend’s match against Fatal Influence’s Fallon Henley on Tuesday’s episode of “NXT,” and after causing the up-and-coming star her match, it appears that evidently a feud between Legend and Jax is on the horizon.
It was a rough night for Fatal Influence after Jazmin Nyx lost to Jaida Parker within the stable’s first match of the night, and while Henley was doing barely higher than her stablemate, the previous Meta-4 member was making short work out of the competition. Nyx and “NXT” Women’s Champion and TNA Knockouts Champion Jayne attempted to intercept Legend’s overwhelming offense with outside interference, but, despite being outnumbered, Legend cleared house, flattening Jayne. Legend’s presence on the surface, nonetheless, opened the door for a charging Jax, who stunned Legend from behind. Jax’s interference was just what Henley needed to show the tide, and the previous “NXT” Women’s North American champion returned Legend to the ring to land a Famouser for the win.
While Jax’s appearance in “NXT” may come as a shock to many, Legend and Jax have some transient history. Jax, Legend, and Stephanie Vaquer were the ultimate three contestants at Evolution’s recent Battle Royale, and Jax was taken out of the Battle Royal by Legend and Vaquer’s combined offense. It appears that evidently Jax is in search of revenge on those that have wronged her, but why exactly Jax is targeting Legend in “NXT,” slightly than Vaquer on “WWE Raw,” is currently unclear.
Jax last appeared on NXT in 2021, when she and Shayna Baszler defended their WWE Women’s Tag Team titles against Dakota Kai and Raquel Rodriguez (then-Gonzalez).
