Nia Jax, the current Queen of the Ring, has referred to WWE backstage interviewer Kayla Braxton as her “little sister” on Instagram. Jax won this year’s Queen of the Ring Tournament by defeating Lyra Valkyria at the King and Queen of the Ring Premium Live Event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Braxton shared pictures on Instagram with a caption, “Don’t act like you forgot 👑,” to which Jax reacted, “Ummm I didn’t forget bc you’re my little sister, but damn girl.. do NOT come for my crown.”
In a related incident, former WWE manager Dutch Mantell commented on the backstage confrontation between Mia Yim (Michin) and Nia Jax last week on SmackDown. Mantell praised both stars for the segment, acknowledging that while Jax slipped multiple times due to a drink being thrown in her face, the confrontation served its purpose and left fans wanting more.
Jax has made several enemies on WWE television recently, with Jade Cargill claiming that the former champion’s “days are numbered.” Jax will challenge for the WWE Women’s Championship at SummerSlam due to her Queen of the Ring Tournament victory. With tensions running high and rivalries intensifying, the road to SummerSlam promises to be filled with excitement and intrigue.
