Nia Jax hints at getting back together with an old WWE partner.
In August of 2020, Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler defeated Bayley and Sasha Banks to become the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. After losing the belts to Asuka and Charlotte Flair at TLC in December, Jax and Baszler regained the titles by defeating Flair and Asuka on the Royal Rumble Kickoff Show.
Their partnership came crashing to a halt in September of 2021 when Baszler attacked her partner, writing Jax off television for an extended absence. Jax was released in November of 2021, and would return to WWE in September of 2023.
Speaking in a recent interview with TV Insider, Jax teased getting back together with Baszler, who is currently aligned with Zoey Stark on television. When asked about her goals for 2025, the star said:
I definitely want to try to get my title back against Tiffy. I would also love to go back in the tag division and get those tag titles back. I think Shayna Baszler and I had a great run during the COVID-era. I don’t think the fans got to really enjoy it. Possibly teaming up with Shayna Baszler again would be fun. I know she is in another faction right now, but I wouldn’t mind stealing her for my own personal reasons.
Nia Jax Talks Intergender Matches In WWE
Elsewhere in the interview, Nia Jax was asked about the potential of intergender matches becoming more commonplace in WWE. She had this to say:
Why not? Of course. The world of WWE is anything is possible. Why not? Let’s do it. I loved getting in the ring with the men and tussling with them. I don’t mind doing it again. There are women out there like Rhea [Ripley] beating up on Dom [Mysterio]. We can definitely have some really good matches.
