Nia Jax took on former SmackDown Women’s Champion Naomi on Raw. If you expected a competitive, back-and-forth encounter between the two, you were totally wrong. Naomi got absolutely destroyed by Jax, who wasn’t in the mood to play around on Raw.

Jax charged Naomi to kick off the match, not showing any hesitation in mauling her. Naomi used her speed and athleticism to avoid but got absolutely trucked by a body-block from the Samoan.

Jax locked her in an excruciating bear hug, squeezing Naomi like a boa constrictor squeezes its prey. However, Naomi fought out of the bear hug, but got smashed with a huge Samoan Drop, the move that beat Sasha Banks at Elimination Chamber.
She talked trash to Lana before crushing Naomi with a Chokeslam powerbomb for the win. This was probably Nia’s most dominant performance in a long time.
Amidst the ‘hole’ jokes, the WWE Universe had lost sight of Nia’s capabilities. And with this huge win on Raw, Nia Jax has proven that she has her own Road to WrestleMania, and no one is going to get in her way.
Jax holds pinfall victories over both the Raw and SmackDown Women’s Champions. At the Elimination Chamber PPV, Jax pinned Sasha Banks after Reginald distracted the Boss with a champagne bottle.
The following night on Raw, Charlotte inadvertently booted Asuka in the face, allowing Jax to crush the Raw Women’s Champion with the leg drop and the easy win.
How will Nia follow up on this impressive winning streak?

The tag champs interrupted Kai and Gonzalez’s celebration, as they wanted to give them a taste of what’s coming for them. However, instead of being deterred, the challengers stood up to the champions, with Raquel warning Jax about how much damage her boot can do to her.
