NIA JAX-WWE UPDATE

By Mike Johnson on 2017-10-18 10:10:00

A number of readers have asked about the status of Nia Jax with World Wrestling Entertainment over the last several days after she disappeared from appearing on Raw in recent weeks.

There was a story published in Great Britain yesterday that she had walked out of the company and quit.  WWE sources have denied that Jax has quit the company to PWInsider.com.

PWInsider.com can confirm, however, that Jax was not at this week's Raw taping, although she was originally slated to be there.  One source believed that the original plans for Sasha Banks going into the TLC PPV was for her to face Jax, not Alicia Fox. 

Since Jax was not at Raw, the idea she "walked out" of the taping cannot be true.

PWInsider.com can also confirm that Jax is no longer scheduled to film material for the new season of Total Divas this week in New York City.  She had been slated to film content tomorrow and Friday, one source close to the production of the reality series has told us.  So, Jax is absolutely off the road for dates that she was originally slated to work for the company - but the root cause of that, whether that be approved time off or something else, remains to be seen.

PWInsider.com reached out to WWE yesterday regarding Jax, but as of this writing, has not heard back.
