What prompted Nia Jax's return to WWE?
Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Van Vliet!
Is this your first ever podcast? It's not my first ever podcast. But it's been a while, right? It's been a long time. So thank you. Yeah, no, thank you. Thanks for hanging out. Yeah. I feel like Chelsea's saying all those nice things on my live show. Kind of like, you know, open the door here.
It's softened me. It's softened me a little bit because, you know, I... I love that she's, like, so... She's out there doing everything for us. Like, I've always said thank you to her. I'm always, like, thanking her because she's barely home. The girl is doing everything from, like, you know, Fanatics Fest to, like, LA doing something to New York to Saudi Arabia doing promotions. So, like, you know, the least I could do is, like, do something. I feel like I haven't done anything, like, in promoting stuff, so... That's why I was like, I'm going to do a podcast.
What happened during the incident with Becky Lynch?
And they put you over huge. Oh, thank you. Like Sidney, or sorry, Maxine and Chelsea and Matt Cardona. They said you're the best. So of course, I got to give them the best.
Chelsea said you were a locker room leader. Nothing but love. She will not stand for Nia Jax hate.
I love that. That's awesome. She's great. I honestly feel the same about her. But, you know, it is funny. Like, since I come back, I have kind of taken on the role of a little bit of the locker room leader. Just because, I mean, I've been here longer than most of the girls in the locker room. And I'm older. And I've been around. I've seen it all. And I feel as though, like... you kind of have to have a little bit of like a tradition in the locker room.
How did Nia Jax respond to online criticism?
And I think it kind of gets lost in this new age. You know, some of the new people, they don't really get like, they didn't come up when I came up. I came up with like, my coach was Bill DeMott when I got hired for the WWE. And he was very like old school. very traditional in the ways like, you know, shake hands, introduce yourself to everybody. You guys set up the ring, you break down the ring, you watch every match. You don't like, we never had the opportunity to not go to a show, even if we weren't working. I had to learn how to ring announce, how to time keep, how to, you know what I mean? Like I had to learn everything from the ground up and it's different now in NXT. So it's not really their fault.
They just don't know better. So I feel like since I do know better, it's my job to help. Did you come into that role of being a leader just naturally, you feel like? Yeah. I tend to be a little bit of a type A person. A little bit. A little bit of a type A person. So it is easier for me to be a little bit more of a leader.
Do you look at your career in WWE in kind of like two parts? Like up to 2021 when you got released and then everything since coming back?
What was the experience of taking an RKO from Randy Orton?
Yeah. I mean, it's hard not to, right? It could have just picked up where it left off, but I don't feel like it did. No, because I had that break. I feel like I changed in a better way. Like I got better and I elevated my game a little bit more. And not that I didn't think I had the opportunity in my first part, but I think... Because it was a different schedule and I wasn't really locked in as I could have been. When I had the break and I was able to see what I could improve on, I was able to change it coming back. So when you came back, were you coming back with a different attitude? Oh, yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, so, and some of the girls that I came up with, we all kind of, like, made WWE our whole lives. Like, morning, noon, and night. Like, storylines talking about all the time and, like, worried about our bookings. And back in the day, if you got hurt, you were forgotten about. Like, it was hard to get back in the rhythm. So, we just didn't, like, you know, we pushed through things. Like, I'm not hurt.
What led to the viral moment of 'My Hole'?
I'm fine. I'm going to stay. And I want to, you know, skip on all my friends' weddings and baby showers and everything. And then coming back, I was like, it felt different to where it's like, no, WWE is my passion, and I love it, and I want to be a part of it, but it's not going to be my entire life.
