Alexa Bliss Comments On Nia Jax Taking Time Off; Seems Confident That She Will Be Back At Some Point
Nia Lax's absence from WWE has been cause for a lot of rumor and speculation in the media, so RAW women's champion Alexa Bliss has set the record straight during an interview with The New York Post...
Last week, we reported on a rumor that Nia Jax has "done a Neville" and walked out on WWE ahead of a scheduled appearance on RAW. This turned out to be false (at least, as far as we know), but it has been confirmed that Jax is taking some time away from the company.
The media have been calling it a leave of absence, but her friend and colleague Alexa Bliss suggests that's not entirely the case.
Here's what the RAW women's champ had to say when quizzed about the situation by The New York Post:
We have talked about it a lot. Whatever she is going through, I wouldn’t necessarily call it a leave of absence. She’s taking some time off because our schedule it very grueling. It’s very, very demanding. There are times where you are run down and your body can’t do it anymore and you get sick or you get injured from it and you get tired. So, I feel like everyone needs a reset every once in a while. In NXT I took a few resets and it was never like public knowledge, but we all need them. We all take them once in a while. I am happy when she comes back. I feel like everyone needs that refresher week or refresher moment.”
Bliss also states that there's "no doubt in her mind" that Nia will return, but obviously that remains ti be seen.
In the meantime, the ladies of RAW's women's division can rest easy and be thankful that they're not being decimated on a weekly basis.
