Earlier this week, PWInsider.com interviewed Nia Jax following the company's Be A Star Rally at the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club in the Bronx (which PWInsider.com Elite subscribers can listen to by clicking here.) During the interview, Jax was asked about her journey to the company's main roster.
"I'm very grateful for my journey," Jax told PWInsider.com. "I've said it before. Some people might think I was brought up [to Raw] too early but I'm also bringing something completely different in this industry and people like different. I learned quickly on the way. I feel like people who I've spoken to who have been here for almost twenty years say that they are constantly learning every single day and I'm grateful that I'm able to learn at this level and be part of the women's revolution, you know? Be in there and be in there with women like Sasha Banks and Charlotte and Bayley, the women who actually began this and me learning from them. What better way to learn than being on Raw in front of thousands of people in the audience and millions watching on TV and learn straight from them."
Jax also recounted how special her match against Sasha Banks on Raw from Boston this past Monday night was for her personally.
"Last night was the first time where I ever had a moment, " explained Jax, "I was sitting there and I heard the crowd. It's just something different for me. I was sitting there right towards the end of the match with Sasha and she was hitting me with her knees. I could hear the crowd just chanting, 'This is awesome. This is awesome' and I literally got goosebumps. That was the first time where I'd really come out of it where I was....before there would be nothing different. It would be Full Sail, it would be...you're in the moment. I'm wrestling. I'm putting on a show. I'm entertaining but that moment last night, it was just a whole other feeling where I was like, 'Oh my Gosh, all these people are really...my art is really reaching them. Our art is really reaching them' and it was really cool."
