3. She Needs to Showcase Strength and Versatility

At the same time, there are some time-tested moves that always elicit a positive reaction from the crowd. Natural and superhuman feats of strength are things that people always love to see. In WWE’s case, seeing John Cena hoist opponents that are much bigger than him onto his shoulders is a major reason why so many people love him. To many of his fans, that seemingly superhuman strength is more important for his image than his wrestling ability.

Those same feats of strength that worked for Cena could work for Jax if done correctly.

Imagine seeing Nia Jax pick up another woman and hold her overhead in a Military Press for over thirty seconds. No matter how scripted wrestling is, such a move is very impressive. Equally impressive is the classic ‘delayed vertical Suplex’, which requires the user to hold another person over their head for a very long time. That puts considerable pressure on the knees and back, but does wonders to sell a wrestler’s strength.

This is something that Nia Jax should absolutely be doing by this point in her career. She’s so much bigger than her opponents, so she shouldn’t have much trouble in hoisting them overhead and throwing them around like rag dolls. How do you think Awesome Kong got over? She used a wide array of big moves like Powerbombs and Suplexes against her opponents.

The same methods that were used to turn Kong into a true monster of women’s wrestling can be used to make Nia Jax look like a juggernaut in the ring.
