WWE fans were intrigued when Nia Jax, after her championship loss to Rhea Ripley at Elimination Chamber: Perth, shared a mysterious update on social media.
In a thrilling showdown, the 39-year-old powerhouse challenged The Eradicator for the Women’s World Championship in a match that kept audiences on the edge of their seats.
Despite Jax’s formidable presence, Ripley emerged victorious, retaining her title with a decisive Riptide. With her next challenge set against Becky Lynch at WrestleMania XL, Ripley continues her reign as the Women’s World Champion.
Following her defeat, Nia Jax took to Instagram, posting several images of herself in her wrestling attire, presumably taken backstage at the Elimination Chamber event. Accompanying the photos was a cryptic caption: “Standing on business 😈.”
Jax’s Instagram post garnered attention from various WWE Superstars, including her recent adversary. Comments poured in from the likes of Jade Cargill, Tiffany Stratton, Natalya, Dakota Kai, and Maxxine Dupri, while Rhea Ripley, Raquel Rodriguez, and Chelsea Green showed their support with likes.
The surprising twist came when Nia Jax, the same wrestler whom Ripley had just defeated, managed to triumph over Becky Lynch in a highly anticipated match on RAW: DAY 1. This victory paved the way for Lynch to challenge Ripley for the championship at WrestleMania.
In a recent episode of Sportskeeda’s Writing with Russo prior to Elimination Chamber, Vince Russo questioned the excitement surrounding a potential Lynch versus Ripley match at WrestleMania, particularly in light of Lynch’s recent loss to Jax:
“The last freaking match Becky Lynch match she got squashed by Nia Jax. So now she’s wrestling Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania? I’m supposed to be excited about that? You got killed by Nia Jax. Not her, but I mean that’s the booking. You lost to Nia and I’m supposed to get excited about her wrestling Rhea Ripley?”
While Lynch and Ripley have only squared off once in a singles match, back in NXT in 2019, fans anticipate a definitive conclusion when they clash again on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
