Nia Jax Addresses the Conflict in an Interview with Chris Van Vliet
Speaking with Chris Van Vliet, Nia Jax provided insight into the heated moment. She described the event as a “miscommunication” that escalated during the match.
According to Nia, emotions flared on both sides:
“Things got heated—like legit got heated—in that match. And I did warn her a few times to stop, like to chill out, and she didn’t. So then I two-pieced her.”
She further explained that after the initial aggression, once everyone calmed down, they recognized that the situation had gotten out of control.
“We came back, and once we were calm and level-headed, we all kind of were just like, ‘Alright, it got kind of out of hand.’ But sometimes it happens. It just got a little out of hand. It got hot, and we started swinging.”
Impact on the Audience and Wrestling Community
Nia described the crowd’s reaction during the incident as stunned and silent, reflecting the shock of witnessing what appeared to be a genuine fight rather than a scripted moment.
“Because when it happened in the moment, I couldn’t hear anything because I was angry. Like, I was legit pissed. So I didn’t hear anything. But then I felt the dead silence of the crowd. I think they were trying to figure it out—like, ‘Is this really happening?’”
she said.
The wrestler also noted the commentary during the event, saying,
“The only thing I could hear was Corey Graves on commentary, because the crowd was dead silent. I think they were in shock, like, ‘What just happened?’”
Moving Past the Incident
Despite the intensity of that moment, Nia confirmed that her relationship with Charlotte Flair recovered quickly. When asked if they had resolved their differences, she replied simply, “Oh yeah. We’re good.”
She reflected on the match as a learning experience, acknowledging its difficulty while emphasizing that they managed to recover and perform well afterward:
“So yeah, it was definitely a moment. That was a match where I was like, ‘Oof.’ But we were able to redeem ourselves after that.”
