Fans got to see the WWE-TNA partnership operate in full swing once again on the latest episode of NXT. Moose made a shocking appearance on the developmental brand to confront Oba Femi. While some seemed to be bothered by the TNA X-Division Champion’s controversial past, Nia Jax is definitely not one of them.

Jax hyped up Moose’s NXT appearance on her X account and reposted a video from the episode in question. A fan replied to her post, telling her that she may get canceled for showing her support for the TNA superstar. The Irresistible Force very enthusiastically replied by saying that she did not care about such consequences.

Jax continued to say that she had watched Moose put in the work for over a decade. She also said that not only was he one of the most athletically gifted superstars but also one of the kindest. She wished him nothing but the best and was excited about the upcoming match between him and Oba Femi. For good measure, she posted another GIF where she flipped everyone off who was trying to cancel her.

The controversies being talked about in these comments date back to 2009, when Moose was arrested for domestic battery. He had allegedly struck and spat on his wife during an argument over a female friend that he had on Facebook.

The 40-year-old said that his spouse had tried to stab him with a pen. Meanwhile, his wife claimed that he threw her on some stairs before tossing her out of the house. His marriage eventually ended after he quit the NFL and wanted to make it big as a professional wrestler.

After some sporadic WWE appearances throughout 2024, Jordynne Grace has finally signed a full-time contract with the Stamford-based promotion. She made an appearance during the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble match and also showed up during NXT: Vengeance Day.

While she is going to spend some time on the developmental brand for now, fans cannot wait for her to go to the main roster. This would allow her to have stellar matches against some of the company’s best female performers.

It appears that the women on the main roster have already started lining up for a match against The Juggernaut. During a recent interview with Screen Rant, Nia Jax revealed that Grace is number one on the list of superstars that she would like to get in the ring with.

Jordynne Grace is probably my number one that I’d like to get in the ring with... She’s an incredible talent.

Jax said that while her build was short and stocky, she packed a lot of power and was very imposing. The former Women’s Champion loved to watch her work. Furthermore, she also revealed having a chat with Jordynne Grace and hearing out a lot of her ideas when she showed up at the Royal Rumble in 2024.
