WWE 5 Burning Questions: How Long Will The Shield Last?

4. Where was Nia Jax this week on WWE Raw?

So this week on Raw, there was a segment where almost the entire Women’s division was talking to Kurt Angle to make their case to face Asuka when she debuts at TLC. We all know she is gonna essentially squash her way through to an easy win at TLC but the enthusiasm shown here makes sense storyline-wise. Every professional would want to make a statement by taking out the biggest name.

Angle would then announce a five Women elimination match to determine who gets to face Asuka at TLC. Eventually, Emma would pull off an upset to earn her right to be the sacrificial lamb. It seems ironic how she picked up a clean victory over the rest of the division when only certain defeat was assured in the end. However, one woman was most notably absent during this entire ordeal. Nia Jax, perhaps the most dominant female athlete on the main roster seemed to have no interest at all in the proceedings.

Neither did she make the case for a shot at Asuka nor did she participate in the match. Is she smart enough to know that she can avoid certain defeat this way? Or is something else in the works backstage? Nia Jax has had some beef with Asuka back in NXT before being called up to the main roster. Will she decide to spoil Asuka’s debut or even aid Emma to pull off an upset? That is a big, monstrous question leading up to Asuka’s debut at TLC.
