Nia Jax – ‘I Caught The Wrestling Bug Again Following Royal Rumble 2023 Return’
Following her surprise one-off return at the 2023 WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view event, Nia Jax says she’s “caught the [wrestling] bug” again.
Speaking during the latest edition of “Busted Open Radio,” the former WWE Superstar revealed that she’s interested in wrestling again.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the Royal Rumble appearance giving her ‘the bug’: “So I had just agreed to do the Rumble, but the unsurety of myself right now, I wasn’t in the best shape and I wasn’t expecting to come back full-time because it takes a lot to come back full-time. We know it. It’s not just something like, ‘Oh, hey, I’m gonna hit the gym for a couple months and be in it.’ It’s a whole process, so I wasn’t expecting to come back full-time at the Rumble. I did catch the bug again when I got in the ring. I was like, ‘Oh, this feeling, this adrenaline that pumps through you.’ I was breathing super hard before I went out, and I had Kasama breathing me through it, and I had a bunch of the guys come by and give me a hug. So when my music hit, that feeling of like, ‘Oh sh*t, what the hell was I thinking? Let’s go.’ I did catch the bug after being in the Rumble.”
On being interested in a return: “I was like maybe coming back would be a cool thing. If the people remember me, and the only thing I’d want to do is to come back and help anybody out I could. I would love to add to the division. It would be something that I would love to do. Mickie coming back and Mickie giving me psychology crap that I’ve never known, teaching me things that I never knew and getting in the ring with her, that was something that was so amazing to me in my career that I’m like, if I have any kind of knowledge that people would love to have, I would love to give and whatever I could do. So I don’t know. I don’t know.”
