Nia Jax had a tough challenge to face on this week’s SmackDown. She was scheduled to team up with her friend Tiffany Stratton against Bayley and Naomi in a tornado tag team match. The stipulation on the line was that if the latter duo emerged victorious, the one getting the pinfall would get a title shot at Bad Blood.
The result of the match was not simple. In the closing sequence, Nia Jax had the upper hand on Bayley. She was about to hit the final blow after a horrifying Samoan Drop to The Role Model. However, the double team of the best friends left the WWE Women’s Champion dumbfounded. Before the latter could comprehend, both stars got her shoulder pinned on the mat and scored a victory.
Following the victory, both Bayley and Naomi looked confused by the situation. A few moments later, they reached the office of SmackDown GM Nick Aldis. He concluded that next week the two former champions are going to face each other one-on-one, where the winner would face Jax at Bad Blood.
It was a chaotic turn of events that unfolded on SmackDown. In addition to the finish, there was a lot of miscommunication between the Buff Barbie and The Irresistible Force. It has once again fueled the rumors of Stratton turning her back on the champion in the weeks to come.
Nia Jax revealed she felt disrespected by Rhea Ripley
Earlier this year, a clip of Rhea Ripley giving a ‘Stink Face’ to Nia Jax went viral. It made rounds of the internet as Ripley went on to perform the move on several other occasion as well. However, recently, the Women’s Champion revealed that she felt disrespected by Ripley.
Speaking with Adrian Hernandez, Jax said that Mami always tries to outdo her. She added that the ‘Stink Face’ was made popular by her uncle Rikishi. Therefore, she wanted to perform this move as an homage to him. However, the Eradicator ended up doing it instead.

Moreover, the 40-year-old even claimed that a ‘Stink Face’ is due for the Raw star. She said that it was due to her genorousity that Mami was allowed to use the move. However, it would not be repeated again in the future.
