NEW ORLEANS – There’s no better place for a Superstar to experience the sweet feeling of redemption than on The Grandest Stage of Them All. Nia Jax did exactly that when she crushed her tormentor, Alexa Bliss, to capture the Raw Women’s Championship at WrestleMania.
For Nia, this moment was a long time coming.

After a bitter betrayal by her former friend, in which Nia overheard Bliss decrying her weight and appearance, Jax used the hurtful experience to fuel her all the way to WrestleMania.
At The Show of Shows, Jax quickly got to work, slamming Bliss’ cheerleader Mickie James to the arena floor before the match even began, leaving her ineffectual on the sidelines.
With James out of the picture, The Irresistible Force got off to a quick start with a dominating offense. The champion was able to battle back, however, sending Jax reeling and crashing to the arena floor. Bliss capitalized with a soaring leap from the top rope and kept up her offense with a solid in-ring attack, punctuated by a series of verbal assaults.
Those hurtful words proved to be a huge mistake, however, as it only served to light a fire in Jax.

After slamming Bliss’ head into the turnbuckle, Nia followed it up with a brutal slam to the canvas. Then, she hoisted the champion onto her shoulders before delivering a resounding Samoan Drop from the second rope for the win.
The victory was a monumental accomplishment for Nia Jax, but, more than that, it was a win for anyone who has ever been bullied for feeling different.
