Former WWE superstar Nia Jax recently opened up about her struggles following her release. The former RAW Women’s Champion talks about how things were at a standstill for her when she suddenly got released from the company.

Nia Jax was one of the most dominant women’s wrestlers in WWE. She was released from her WWE contract in 2021, and since then, she has yet to return to the world of professional wrestling. While she did make a short appearance at the 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble, she was eliminated by the combined efforts of all the other superstars.

Speaking with Busted Open Radio, Nia Jax revealed how lost she was following her abrupt release from WWE. She said, “Thankfully, I have such an amazing family and I have great friends to where I literally just sat around for this last year trying to find myself again. Trying to find where Lina was in all of this because I got lost,” Jax said. “I got totally lost and, you know, everybody who’s in this business knows this, like, you get fully engrained in it”.

Despite her release, Jax returned to the squared circle at the 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble. The former RAW Women’s champion said that after her one-off appearance at the Rumble, she felt like returning to wrestling again. However, that is yet to happen, as she hasn’t signed with any company as of now. As of now, it seems like Nia Jax is busy with other things in life.

The former WWE superstar revealed that after she got released, she started focusing on other aspects of life. Her brother had a baby sometime after her release, so she spent most of her time being a nanny for the baby. After taking care of her nephew for about 6 or 7 months, she went back to church. She said that she has someone she talks to at church, who helps her get back to being herself. Jax further said that she does pilates and plays pickleball every once in a while. She also takes care of her farm.

Why was Nia Jax fired from WWE?

Nia Jax was the Women’s Tag Team Champion alongside Shayna Baszler prior to her release. The reason isn’t very well known, but Jax opened up about it once. And it wasn’t even related to her health or work ethic.

The reason Nia Jax was fired from WWE is because she refused to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Health concerns were through the roof at that point, with some people questioning the effectiveness of the vaccine. And Nia Jax was apparently one of those people. She claimed that she tested negative for the virus every time they tested her. She also stood her ground for not getting the vaccine, which led to her release.

Although Nia Jax may not return to wrestling at the moment, her fans can keep up with her daily updates on Instagram, where she posts fairly regularly. And if she does end up returning soon, fans hope her second run will be much better than before.
