In an interview with Sky Sports, Nia Jax commented on who she would most like to face in a match at the 25th Anniversary edition of RAW.

Nia explained that she would love to get in the ring with Bull Nakano who was her hero growing up, and “the definition of a badass woman”. Looking back at Nakano’s wrestling matches, Nia describes them as revolutionary – but without the benefit of the spotlight that modern day superstars of the women’s division are given.

Nia Jax offered thanks to those women of Nakano’s generation, for paving the way and enabling her, and other female superstars, to access new and exciting opportunities.

Jax also expressed love for the stiff Japanese style that Nakano featured, comparing it to women in UFC:

“You have women in UFC who are kicking the crap out of each other. If you look at what they were doing back then, you wouldn’t want to be on the end of one of those backfists or the way they hit each other.”
