Nia Jax's net worth skyrockets after Queen of the Ring win—deserved or overrated?

Nia Jax, who is part-Samoan and a distant relative to the Anoa’i bloodline, has become an important member of the TV roster on WWE. This road hasn’t exactly been smooth for the female star. On the contrary, Jax has gone through several ups and downs. But now that she seems more successful in her wrestling career, could things have changed for her in terms of her finances?

A wrestler’s pay in the pro wrestling world seems to be greatly determined by their popularity among fans. Now that she has climbed the women’s division ladder higher, her net worth may have been positively affected. According to some online sources, her net worth following the 2023 estimation would be around $500,000. The pay that she is receiving as per these sources might be $100,000 or more per year as of last year. The changes that she has had in her career starting in 2024 could have vastly affected her pay and net worth.

Earlier this year at King and Queen of the Ring in Jeddah, Nia Jax ended up winning the tournament, crowning herself as ‘The Queen’. This also led her to start feuding for the WWE Women’s Championship on Friday Night SmackDown against Bayley.

This allowed WWE to use her more often on screen. Jax has since been a top heel in the women’s division, trying to take down the champion by openly challenging her and showcasing her strength in the ring. These achievements are bound to give her an increment in her paycheck, resulting in a plausibly increased net worth as well.

If this wasn’t all, the top heel is also going to use her Queen of the Ring status to challenge Bayley for a match at SummerSlam this year, which could further increase her chances of up-scaling her finances as a wrestler.

Will Nia Jax end up winning the upcoming PLE?

As mentioned before, “The Irresistible Force” didn’t have the smoothest run in WWE. Fans saw her leave the roster in 2021 after a disagreement with the management at the time. The viewers also spotted several faults in her in-ring ability whenever she wrestled, as she was not the safest wrestler to be around. So, she had to work on several things before standing where she currently stands. Although there is always room for improvement, it seems like the creative department believes that she is ready for a potential title run as her SummerSlam match approaches.

What’s your perspective on:

Nia Jax's net worth skyrockets after Queen of the Ring win—deserved or overrated?

Have an interesting take?

Bayley will undoubtedly be a formidable opponent because she has prior experience with the championship and has also been defending it successfully on the blue brand ever since her WrestleMania XL victory. Despite her capabilities, she may be booked to lose the championship at the summer PLE to Jax. However, this may not come easy for her because her best friend Tiffany Stratton is also eyeing the same belt and can easily cash in anytime she wants. It wouldn’t be out of the blue if the WWE books Nia Jax as the champion only to get betrayed by Tiffany Stratton, starting yet another interesting storyline for her.
