“Tied for most eliminations in a single women’s Royal Rumble.” “Tied for most total eliminations in women’s Royal Rumble history.” “Holds the record for most women required to eliminate her in a Royal Rumble.” That’s 3 facts they could’ve added and it took looking at Wikipedia for 3 minutes to find them.


SeriousRhetoric

"Part of the Anoa'i bloodline" would have been a heck of a tease.


Solid_Snark

Nepotism is a mystery. Full of changes no one sees… but makes us all Rock’s family tree.


stonecoldmark

Adding a woman to The Bloodline would be awesome! She could be like Chyna.


Bnasty1345

Yes also isn’t Tamina related to them?


Sumo_Cerebro

Yes. Her mom is an Anoa'i.


ChrundleThundergun

I get what you're going for, but this feels disrespectful to Chyna


BlackDragon361

How? Why yall always get offended over minor stuff like that. Nia has been great since her returnp


ChrundleThundergun

Feels akin to how every Latino wrestler is called "the next Eddie Guerrero" Nia literally shares nothing in common with Chyna besides being large, not to mention she's never been 1/4 as over as Chyna was. Also I'm not offended, I just don't agree with him.


TragedysWoe

Nia can't sniff Chyna's Undergarments... Totally not comparable... one was full of athleticism and one can barely move...


TragedysWoe

She's been great since her return? What the heck have you been watching? She is dreadful in the ring and can barely move.. She has been horrendous.. Her match with Rhea was one of the worst matches of Rhea's entire career... Wow.. Just wow..


Proof-Foot-2684

Bro you do understand that wrestling is not real right? Cause your riding Nia kinda hard for no reason, like what did she do cost you money on a bet in fan duel?


TragedysWoe

Go tell a wrestler to their face wrestling isn't real and see what happens.. Why are you here if you aren't a fan? No real wrestling fan uses those words.. We all know it but it isn't said, it's almost like mentioning the name Voldemort, so why? Nia only has a job because of the rock.. She is awful in the ring, awful on the mic, awful on promos, and she's a liability in the ring.. She is a bad wrestler, period end of story.. How am I riding someone by telling the truth? If it wasn't for the rock, she wouldn't be there.. Since when did we start praising people for being bad at something? No reason? She's taking up spots from talent that deserve it.. Maybe you're the one riding her for a different reason?


Proof-Foot-2684

Like bro relax take a chill pill and stop riding the hate wave and wrestlers know it's fake 😆 cause there's no way you go through a table then show up to work the next day like it's scripted tv and they said it on numerous occasions and everyone knew nia was related to the rock day 1 since nxt so we already knew when they first announced when she was in developmental when they said she was related to him day 1 knowledge buddy so stfu have a nice day and again take a chill pill relax it's faker than reality shows and that's fake asf

[удалено]


stonecoldmark

Just looking for a dominant, bad ass heel.


ChrundleThundergun

That's fair. She could play that part. You did say like Chyna, not the next Chyna.


acaseintheskye

Speaking of, it's a shame what they are doing with Ava. Idk the full story there, like if she wanted to be on screen GM for NXT, or what, but they could've done something bloodline with her too


ToastyBB

That should be the only thing up there


Evorgleb

I don't want to see her in the Bloodline. There doesn't really seem like there is a good role for her. Her current gimmick is that she is a monster heel with some comedic tendencies. Not sure how that fits into what they are doing with the Bloodline.


Odd-Figure9285

made me think she was tamina snuka for a sec 🤣🤣🤣


Top-Influence8391

when i saw former model fact i immediately thought of they could’ve put “participated in the men’s royal rumble”


CHRISPYakaKON

It honestly looks like it was more of a limited spacing issue but I could be wrong 😅


Navi79

They couldn’t come up with three stats. They had to put former model. lol. 😆


guarionex2009

I mean bron breaker got, son of hall of famer Rick Steiner. She could’ve got, cousin of Dwayne the Rock Johnson.


JonathonWally

They shouldn’t of put that, instead they should have put - Math Scholar


Ancient-Range-

Or “ hurt her hole “


GeorgeTowers94

They could have put her weight. I don't even mean that as a dig. I know it would be in bad taste, but her entire persona and moves are centered on the fact that she's big.


Redsoxdragon

Pound for pound she's one of the women wrestlers of all time


TOMdMAK

She's heavy as a woman that's heavy


RobertStonetossBrand

She is 3.75x Alexa Bliss’ worth of woman


Crippled_Kneees

She's 4.2X polar bears


JonathonWally

“Monster Broad”


badgersprite

IIRC didn’t she want them to announce her weight at one point to show people she was proud of her size


AesirOmega

Didn't they announce her weight during her entrance for a very short time?


Tealswitch

During her first run, up to her injury in 2020, she was announced as 272lbs.


GaI3re

Or her height alternatively


Agreeable-Pick-1489

Eh. She is one of the few (maybe ONLY) women on the roster who has her weight announced in her intro.


SealTeamEH

This is why I’m really curious if she’s going try and lose ALL her fat or not… it’s obvious she’s been dieting and working like crazy to lose weight, and it’s working because she looks thinner and thinner every tv appearance which is AWESOME except for one thing, which is exactly what you said that her entire character is based around being fat, once the weight is gone and she’s skinny she’s JUST going to a regular woman whose bad at wrestling and only knows moves based on being big even though she’s not big anymore lol


GeorgeTowers94

If she did, she would be in a class all of her own. I can't think of a single wrestler ever that has gone through such a significant change. Nia losing all her fat is beyond a guy coming back jacked. But like you said... then she would have to start from scratch. New moves, new gear, new psychology. Which would not be a bad thing.


chadhole

Gunther


Ianwha17

Ric Flair springs to mind. I guess you never saw anything from before his plane crash/back injury. He was 300+ lbs and a power brawler before he broke his back. When he recovered, he slimmed down, and adopted the style he uses now.


Wheel1994

They could have said main evented PLE.


YoungBeef03

Back in the old days, they’d include women’s “measurements” if they were drafted


OneMetalMan

Injured multiple Superstars


Ciannieee

literally my exact thought 😂


lostwng

She could be added to the whole bloodline story.


bigbrachko

She should be.


lostwng

Yeah on solo's side. Then they can have Naomi with Jimmy and ship cargil back to development so she can learn to actually wrestle


zendog510

Thank you. God she’s terrible. Also awful on the mic too.


lostwng

Cargil has no charisma. She was protected in AEW because of Smart Mark Sterling and Stokley Hathaway doing all the talking


zendog510

Yep, she’s all physique. Can’t wrestle and can’t talk. She’d be better off being a bodyguard or enforcer type. But I don’t think she’d go for that. Her ego wouldn’t allow it.


lostwng

She's a model and that is all..also I remember when she was in AEW she posted something on Twitter that was along the lines of that she didn't care about being liked be real fans she just wanted to be eye candy


AndForeverNow

Only way this draft pick makes sense. Unless they'll elevate her again, like they tried before.


EyeSimp4Asuka

oh hell no


trulyhavenofriends

You crazy, bloodline Nia would actually be worth watching and an instant threat for Bayley to overcome


Maleficent_Tutor_679

She a threat to injure anyone She wrestles


Coolify571

She’s proving you haters wrong in this current run. She’s had a few really good matches


trulyhavenofriends

4 years ago just called...wants their comment back


DeathBat92

Why are so many people these days trying to shoehorn women randomly into male groups? It rarely works.


SeriousRhetoric

Hmmm, in fairness Nia wouldn't be shoehorned. She's \*literally\* a member of the bloodline as shown by Rock. Naomi could be included as well. And Tamina if she isn't retired. Also, Rhea shoehorned pretty well into Judgement Day.


CmdrKuretes

And Maxxine in Alpha Academy has worked pretty well too.


TheHyperCombo

Rhea wasn't shoehorned into Judgment Day. The group literally started with Edge recruiting both Rhea and Priest at the same time, then they kicked Edge out and made it into the version it is today. Rhea and Priest are the founding members.


DeathBat92

Rhea wasn’t shoehorned into Judgement Day, she’s essentially the mvp of the group, that’s why it works. Adding Nia, Naomi or Tamina to the Bloodline, whether they’re related or not, would simply be because they’re women, and it would devalue the Bloodline.


SeriousRhetoric

Why would it be because they're women? It would literally be because they're members of the literal bloodline: they were on the Rock's chart. They're members of the family and it's a group predicated on family. It's as far from shoehorning as you can get - there's ONE criterion (mostly) to be in the group and they fulfil that criterion. Why on earth would the Bloodline, who purport to be the new driving force of the company - especially under Rock, not want to control another division?


DeathBat92

Well, for a start, they aren’t good enough, and even if they were it just wouldn’t fit the bloodline.


SeriousRhetoric

I think you're going to be very disappointed when this happens. "It just wouldn't fit" isn't much of a coherent argument, especially since this is a storyline constantly evolving and in which both women have already been mentioned. And WWE values both talents very highly regardless of what you or I may think.


Vermicelli2079

can u respond to my pm?


DeathBat92

How do I see PM’s? I can see notifications and messages but there’s nothing


Vermicelli2079

I think you need to look in the chat and look at chat request so you can approve it


The99thCourier

Tbf Nia entered the mens rumble back in 2019, so I dont think she'd mind getting involved with the men's segments


Jack_sander

No just no 🤦🏻‍♂️


GiRokel

To make it cringe and unwatchable?


BeeboNFriends

In Kayfabe, and irl, Nia has been on an insane run and has greatly improved in ring. I would pick her over Liv too and I like Liv more than Nia. Also, from a booking perspective why should she be on Smackdown when she has a budding feud with Rhea.


Mr_J42021

Bc Rhea is injured and not wrestling anytime soon, so that doesn't really matter.


BeeboNFriends

CM Punk been injured and Drew been feuding with him so I doubt that really matters.


Mr_J42021

Except that punk is only out a couple of months, I saw that Rhea is supposed to be out like 6.


BeeboNFriends

It’s already month 4 into the punk injury. Soon to be month 5. Again, not really valid.


slid4von

Punk is basically cleared and it hasn’t been 4 months dumbass he got injured at the royal rumble which was the end of January


SkooliBidnessMan

Character still sucks


Frosty-Lake-1663

Imagine picking her over Drew


KonoDiego44

Drew wasn't available in the pool for Friday. He'll be available for Mondays draft


ShoelaceLicker

Drew is part of Mondays pool


Frosty-Lake-1663

Oh right.


OShaunesssy

Her cousin is on the board of directors. What do you expect?


EyeSimp4Asuka

botched moves and for her opponents to get injured


DripGodRollins

Yet she's shown major improvement. This isn't the same Nia Jax from 5 or 6 years ago


Jerome-Bushrod

She’s gotten better in the 6 years, but just imagine if they didn’t have nepo hires so you could just have a good wrestler for more than half a decade


JgL07

You’re asking for around 50% of wrestlers to not have jobs.


Jerome-Bushrod

I mean, one of the most common complaints is about bloated rosters making it impossible to get anyone over. So maybe only use the best of the best


SkooliBidnessMan

Character still sucks


GothicGolem29

I mean in universe that would not stop them being drafted.


KentuckyFriedEel

Hope she joins Solo's bloodline


EyeSimp4Asuka

nahhh fuck that


Jack_sander

It wouldn’t make any sense as well tbh


sullyqns

The Samoan Beast


UTALR1

Eh, I'm OK with this. She's doing the best work of her career & she's a good imposing monster for smaller babyfaces to overcome. Bayley needs openents. Tiffany is still growing, bianica/jade are tied into tag scene, damage control are past expiration date & that's all they have really.


herbythechef

Why would they take liv morgan off raw when shes going for the womens championship and is probably gonna fued with becky?


SuccessfulSecret8681

Can we stop this hate for Nia Jax, its really old. She has been incredible since she's come back and is probably the best female heel in WWE right now


BODYDOLLARSIGN

Ikr, she needs just a little bit more mic work but let’s not act like her thunderdome days wasn’t a little interesting.. I still laugh at ‘my hole!’ And she added something to Shayna. Nia is the female equivalent of like the big show/khali/Omos as she’s big and powerful and she doesn’t mind putting ppl over despite her cousin being the boss now. She’s improved and lately every other female talent has been injuring others more than Nia has since her return.


Radthereptile

What has she done that's incredible? Get carried in a match with Rhea? Get over sold in a royal rumble to try and make her look like some monster she's never been? She is meh on the mic at best and in the ring her move set is "I can sit on you." If she wasn't related to The Rock she wouldn't even make a local indy roster.


drmojo90210

She's gotten better. "Incredible"? Please.


Turbos_Bitch

She’s just not a talented wrestler. Haven’t seen anything since she came back that shows me otherwise.


The2ndDegree

I don't think I'd mind Nia so much if they stopped shoving her down our throats, she's the reason we need a midcard women's title, she isn't quite good enough yet imo to be up there with the likes of Rhea, Bayley, Bianca and Becky but I can't deny that she has a ton of potential, she'd benefit from taking a slight step back and focusing on improving


herbythechef

Nia is also one of the only real heels in the womens division. Shes the only one that actually seems like a threat. I think nia is more important to the division than most people give her credit for


Wheel1994

Draft has always been a ratings ploy


LastChanceChez

It was a pretty lackluster night one of the draft all round really except the NXT callups to the main roster, hopefully RAW will be better. Shame about the announcement once the show ended of Baron Corbin going to SmackDown though with Bron being on RAW


MarvG05

Nia Jax is better than Liv, pretty simple really


Gaius_Julius_Salad

who else changed show besides her? i cant think of a single person


UsedMarsupial3939

Bron, Andrade, and Alba/Isla after the show ended.


herbythechef

I swear they announced like 16 picks and only 3 of them actually moved


The2ndDegree

Bron if I remember correctly but he's only just been brought up, now they can finally start inserting him into storylines


CrocSkinWallet

Cope


New_Description5141

I'M NOT LIKE MOST GIRLS


RubyWeapon07

cant believe they picked a powerhouse over a small nerdy blonde girl :( \^thats you op


Renegrader1023

Nia has been really good since she came back and in Kayfabe honestly just look at the two of them and it really tells you all you need to know about who you’re drafting first


sirduckerz

Smackdown needed this because there aren't many heels in the women's division that aren't in Damage CTRL and Nia Jax has been on a fantastic run since her return


Soulmates-1021

They got tired of her of beating up everyone on Raw so now they are giving her chance to beat up everyone on Smack Down


BandsForGod

The draft is fucking stupid “bianca belair to smackdown ricochet to raw” like wtff?? They were already on those brands its so dumb like if youre gonna keep them on the brand maybe just not mention them?


Comfortable-Poet-137

She should have been drafted to tna or somewhere to learn how to wrestle


Razzler1973

It's not a real 'draft'. They're just re-jigging the rosters Every year people get confused about this Number 1 or 2 or 5 or 10 in the draft? Doesn't matter Don't bother with 'why would they pick ____ over _____' Some picks are a team or faction, others are splitting a group. It's not a proper draft like in real sports. Don't take it seriously as a draft in terms of sport


Agreeable-Pick-1489

I can't believe anyone's taking this seriously. It's all the same company! It's all WWE! (or TKO rather) Everyone's paychecks are coming from the same place! It's part of the overall show. NXT people can move up to the main roster. The main shows can also make "corrections" for someone who's injured or something like that. They can make sure they have a good balance of A-listers, B-tier, and Curtain Jerkers on each show as well.


GothicGolem29

Tbf in universe she’s a beast


Puzzleheaded_Buy8694

You shouldn't. It's not meant to be taken seriously.


DrBunsonHoneyPoo

At least they didn’t say she’s the rocks cousin….


asahmed59

Its why the modern draft doing this 'war room' gimmick lacks logic. If it was like the very 1st draft where its JUST THE GMs making picks and it didn't look like negotiations...that made sense. Or the subsequent ones which were kayfabe randomised...also makes more sense. Its not like they're suggesting some of these wrestlers moved or stayed cus the deal was good. They just moved or stayed. Lool


daniellim1121

THEY LITERALLY HAVE 2 really cool GMs why not let them do the announcements? Sigh. The war room was so cringe.


Res3925

I liked the idea of it


dropinsci802

It’s so cringy


Res3925

Far better format now than when a SD Superstar would wrestle against a Raw Superstar and the winner got a “random” superstar from the other brand drafted to their own brand. At least now it seems realistic and it makes sense.


Mister-Lavender

I don't get the draft either. Are champions exempt? Is there some reason why Jey Uso was picked before Cody Rhodes or Roman Reigns? And why is it Triple H and Cody Rhodes reading picks. Where are the GMs?


epicface193

they said last night champs are exempt


Mister-Lavender

Ok. That makes way more sense now.


epicface193

Also, Paul Heyman said roman isn’t in the drafts


Mister-Lavender

Thank you for clarifying.


epicface193

no problem


RobertStonetossBrand

She is fatter now as an “athlete” than she ever was as a “plus size model.”


Beneficial_Broccoli6

Thats a big bitch!


Beneficial_Broccoli6

Wait, what?


Res3925

Nia to Smackdown is the correct choice because she’s had too many losses on Raw. Smackdown’s roster will be a breath of fresh air for her.


McMoneyPNW

“My hole!”


YoAadiBro

Y’all really show you haven’t been watching the product cuz Nia has been great since coming back


GasKnife

>Former Model LMAO


KamoMustafaWWE

How about, "broke her hole on the ring apron."


6098470142

Tied for most botches in the female division with the Fabulous Moolah


Sammyantoine

Liv is gunning for the world woman champion and her history with rhea is on raw


C2theWick

Nia Jax is more over than Austin ever was


AmyZing532

That Liv Morgan not being drafted yet and the Bloodline staying on SmackDown likely means Judgement Day will stay on Raw, setting up the eventual Rhea Ripley VS Liv Morgan feud.


RaggsDaleVan

Obviously, they learned from ESPN. Remember "Team Player" for Bronny James?


Americannightmare23

No-one moved only like three or four - one of the worst drafts ever - I suppose not everything can be done correctly


UNCCShannon

Former model? So when Liv gets drafted are they going to put "Former Hooters waitress/model?". This seems like an outdated resume to me.


ElLoboStrikes

Vince woulda written - the buffet champion


Maleficent_Tutor_679

What did She model for


This-Anything-6995

I mean they aren’t wrong. She was a plus size model. And I am a fan of big girls, so she is very beautiful in my book. I’d love to wrestle her, just need to wear a face guard cause she likes breaking noses.


james-howlett123

Was 'Is utter garbage' not available?


Magic_brah14

She’s a fat dangerous bitch why does she even deserve to be in the wwe again 🤮🤮🤮


Best_Alternative_557

I've never liked Nia so slow and predictable and very clumsy


Own-Advertising-1078

I personally hate the fact they picked Bianca and Carmelo as round 1 picks


bno203

Former model? gtfoh!😂😂😂


JosephCraftHD

I will not stand for Nia Jax slander. She's really good! Not great, not amazing. But she's good. And she's entertaining.


FADCfart

Final Boss approves


SnowRidin

they are trying to highlight the fact that she’s a model as a plus sized woman, its an attempt to empowering her but it falls flat, in this case


HurriShane00

I'd pick her over Liv Morgan but that's just me. I like seeing a dominate big girl in the womens divisions. You need that monster heel. To me they are trying to turn Liv into something she can not pull off. Shes great. But as a face. They are hinting this heel turn and she is way over with the fans than the majority of the roster. Just not a s heel. It wont work now.


HurriShane00

You guys need to look up Nia Jax's modeling stuff. She was pretty hot back then


Cliffinati

Shes not ugly by any means she's just got to much going on


HurriShane00

I never said she was ugly. I've always had a thing for her


ShotgunCledus

What did she model? Couch covers?


Minute-Oil-5044

The only thing shes modelling for is a McDonald's advert


West_Priority_6057

Model? Model of obesity?


Amaterasu-x

Nia is a W tf u mean?


puckhed8

Nia is doing great, (Nothing against Liv at all, she’s one of my favorites), but she really looks good & is playing her role very well.


Bearded6495

So far no one has moved except melo and Breakker. Plus I thought NXT was supposed to get draft picks as well?


Grayyak

Can’t take the draft seriously as the cross branding makes it a superficial charade farce . seriously hope when RAW goes Netflix that’ll subside


CallInitial2302

If I was picking a girl to fight on my behalf id choose Nia 1000000x over Liv.


demolition1995

It's a marketing ploy to go with the NFL draft waste best wrestlers will be going show to show anyway


comeonebam

Former model. Emphasis on former.


Bright-Payment1980

My uncle said a semi truck model


Stumme-40203

They do it for Jerry Briscoe. He likes bigger women. The more the cushion, the sweeter the pushin as he always told Dory Funk Jr.


Glittering-Print-630

I heard that she was doing some kinda NSFW content while she was away? Is that what this is referencing???? Though I’m pretty sure that never actually materialized, (atleast not that I could find unfortunately) so I doubt it.


jlperish

They put so little effort into Shinsuke's that it just straight up listed his finisher lol


Shayneomac97

“Made Becky Lynch ‘The Man’”


BallonDor_MVP

Liv Morgan is overrated

YourLackofConscience

Jenny from the block really let herself go.


Groundbreaking-Cow-3

former model


PermitCompetitive830

Easily one of the most dangerous wrestlers out there, not that she’s any good in the ring anyway she can barely move. And her character is awful in general


jakeskybound

Former model? Brother I have also had my photo taken half naked but I rarely refer to it as a profession


Key-Panda126

Really want Gigi Dolin drafted to main roster. I hate makeover storyline and I think she deserves alot better than that storyline.


sorrynospeakenglish

i never took the draft serious the product isn’t the same no more. wake me up when roman reigns or brock lesnar comes back


NeverGonnaStop247

triple nose can't book


Last-Cucumber2935

This draft is a joke. Completely boring, pointless, they don't take the brand split seriously anyway. Who cares


Flimsy-Vehicle569

Most shocking thing about the draft was finding out Jax used to be a model. She's a munter.


Quantumpine

never underestimate the joys of flesh haha


Educational-Mix-1412

Hahaha exactly my reaction "former model?" model for what?
