Two-time WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax recently spoke on the No-Contest Wrestling Podcast. One of the topics she spoke on was who has helped her through her career and impacted her in WWE.
The first name she gave was Tamina. The two were a tag team together in 2019.
“I’m gonna say first off it’s gonna be Tamina Snuka. She doesn’t get the flowers she deserves, but that woman backstage is a pillar, a rock to so many of us. We call her Mama Bear because she is just a true Mama Bear. She’s kept me up when I need to stay up, positive when I was trying to be negative, hydrated when I was hungover [laughs]. I call her my sister because she’s truly a sister, and she has kept me on the up and up. Even when I wasn’t in the company for a little bit when nobody else was,” said Jax. (Transcript Fightful)
Jax added more to her list including Charlotte Flair, Naomi, Bayley, and many more.
“Charlotte Flair, she’s helped me a lot. She’s a fitness guru, and when I was going through my fitness journey, she was there for me,” she said. “Naomi, Naomi has got a heart of gold. She’s a gem, a diamond in the rough that people don’t realize. I put her on such a pedestal. I could list off, I have Bayley, Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton, Sheamus is a good, solid buddy of mine, Drew McIntyre, The Usos, Roman. There’s so many people, especially backstage. We’re a family back there. We’re with each other so many days out of the year that we haven’t to be supportive because at the end of the day, 90 percent of the time, we’re traveling, and we’re in hotels and airplanes and cars. We have to have each other’s back, so there’s a lot of people. I have support in all aspects in this wrestling business, and I’m very blessed.”
Jax returned to WWE in 2023 after two years away from the company. She has since won Queen of the Ring and defeated Bayley at SummerSlam to become WWE Women’s Champion. She lost the title in January to Tiffany Stratton after Stratton cashed in her Money in the Bank briefcase.
