The Rock’s Cousin Nia Jax Claims Her Legendary Family Never “Had Her Back”: “I Did Not Have Any Support With Me in This Business for a Long Time”

Nia Jax is an individual that has always been in the limelight during her WWE career. Whether it is for her impressive wrestling skills or for some fans considering her as an “unsafe worker,” Jax has been a major topic of discussion.

Even after her WWE release, she is still in the limelight. The former WWE superstar is related to the famous Anoa’i family. Furthermore, Jax is the cousin of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

Over the years, several members of the Anoa’i family have become top superstars in the pro wrestling world. And her connection to The Rock and the Anoa’i family made several fans think she will never lose her job in WWE.

However, that wasn’t the case. Recently, during an episode of The Sessions with Renee Paquette, Jax revealed her legendary family never had her back.

Jax said, “It was like, ‘Oh, she’s not going to lose her job because she’s related to Rock.’ It’s funny because it’s so far from the truth. Vince didn’t have an issue. He knew, ‘shit happens, we’re going to make the best of it.’ Whatever family members they thought supported me, were opposite, did not have my back.”

“Trust me, I did not have any support with me in this business for a long time. It s**ks because you’re family and it is what it is. I didn’t mind it too much because I thought I was creating something on my own,” she added. (H/T: Fightful)

Further, the former WWE superstar revealed she wanted to be like everybody else when she first got signed and did not tell anyone about her relation to The Rock and the Anoa’i family.

Nia admitted she wanted to put her own footprint on the legacy of the Anoa’i family. Jax proved herself inside the squared circle and competed against several top WWE superstars prior to her shocking WWE release.
