When Nia Jax reentered the WWE arena in September 2023, the reception among fans was mixed, largely due to concerns about her track record of causing injuries in the ring.
Despite the skepticism, the formidable force known as Nia Jax resumed her place in the spotlight, taking on some of the biggest names in the women’s division.
In the world of WWE, climbing to the top often begins with humble beginnings. While many superstars kick-started their careers in WWE NXT, Nia Jax’s journey took a unique turn.

Surprisingly, before making her mark as a competitor, she was part of Adam Rose’s eclectic entourage known as the Rosebuds!
For the uninitiated, the Rosebuds comprised a colorful and enigmatic group accompanying former WWE NXT Superstar Adam Rose to the ring, donning flamboyant attire and vibrant face masks.
A rediscovered clip from WWE NXT showcases Nia Jax adorned in purple hair, seamlessly blending in with the exuberant ensemble as they danced their way to the ring alongside Adam Rose.
Remarkably, the ranks of the Rosebuds boasted other notable names such as Elias, Braun Strowman, Becky Lynch, and Alexa Bliss, all of whom would later carve their own paths to stardom within WWE.
The narrative of Becky Lynch and Nia Jax’s intertwined destinies adds another layer of intrigue.
Lynch’s ascent to prominence was propelled by an infamous incident in 2018 when Jax inadvertently broke Lynch’s nose, igniting a rivalry that would shape both their careers.
Today, Lynch stands atop the women’s division as one of its premier talents, while Jax grapples with the shadow cast by that moment.
Upon her return, Jax wasted no time reigniting old rivalries, particularly with stalwarts like Rhea Ripley and Becky Lynch.
Their clashes, marked by intense physicality, culminated in a grueling ‘Last Woman Standing’ match on a recent episode of WWE RAW, where Lynch emerged victorious after a hard-fought battle against Jax’s formidable resilience.
As Lynch sets her sights on WrestleMania 40 and her impending showdown with Ripley, fans eagerly anticipate her next chapter, hopeful that she can leave behind the tumultuous chapter involving Nia Jax and focus on reclaiming her status as one of WWE’s elite competitors.
