5 Things Nia Jax Needs to Become a Top WWE Star

Nia Jax has all the tools needed to be a big star in WWE. She just needs to make a few critical changes in order for her to reach out and grasp the proverbial brass ring.

Nia Jax isn’t like most girls. She’s taller than the entire cruiserweight division and looks like she outweighs all of them as well.  She rarely leaves her feet, if ever, and when she does, it’s when she chooses to do so.

Few wrestlers have been able to actually force her to the mat, much less pick her up. She’s the closest thing WWE has to a female juggernaut, and it’s time they started presenting her like one.

Nia Jax shares a lot of similarities with Awesome Kong/Kharma. Both women were ‘plus-sized’ and didn’t fit the traditional image of a WWE Diva/women’s wrestler. In Kharma’s case, she took her WWE rejection and used that as fuel for her dream to become a wrestling master. She wrestled in Joshi promotions across Japan and on the independent scene, before becoming the biggest women’s wrestler not signed by WWE at one point.

Then WWE signed her in 2010, but personal circumstances derailed her main event push. That was a crippling blow, because WWE was in sore need of a new face of the fledging Diva’s Division. Furthermore, with so many ‘model’-type athletes in the division, it would’ve been a welcome sight to see an actual women’s wrestler throwing all the Barbie doll divas around without effort.

Now, the WWE women’s division is a different entity. Though a few elements of the Divas division remain, the focus of the division is on pure women’s wrestlers with actual wrestling skill. The division is being built around the Four Horsewomen: Becky Lynch, Bayley, Charlotte and Sasha Banks.

These four women have been lauded as some of the best women to step foot in WWE in a long time. Their NXT matches have become legendary, and with each passing month, they keep breaking more restrictions. With the first-ever women’s Hell in a Cell match coming up, it looks like the women’s wrestlers might be taking center stage from now on.

But where does this leave Nia Jax? Unfortunately, her exposure on RAW has been limited to squash matches against jobbers, and her biggest win so far has been against Alicia Fox. While that makes sense given that Fox is a ten-year veteran in WWE, that victory has done little for Jax’s career.

If Jax wants to make a name for herself, she’s going to have to do a lot more than what she’s been doing so far. She’s going to have to step it up ASAP and make some big changes. If she doesn’t, she might just end up as a very big footnote in the history of the WWE Women’s Division.

To prevent that from happening, here are a few things Nia Jax should do…
