Nia Jax Legitimately Injures Major WWE Champion On SmackDown: “Welcome Back, B*tch”

A major WWE champion suffered a legitimate head injury on SmackDown at the hands of Nia Jax.

Tonight on the blue brand, the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Brie Bella and Paige headed to the ring to address The Judgment Day’s interest in challenging them for the title.

Paige dared Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez to step up before she and her partner were interrupted by Fatal Influence. Jacy Jayne claimed the champions should not worry about The Judgment Day, reminding them that Fatal Influence dropped them a couple of weeks ago in the middle of the ring.

The Irresistible Forces, Nia Jax and Lash Legend, did not waste time joining Fatal Influence and Paige & Brie Bella in the ring. Jax claimed Jayne’s group looked like knockoff Mean Girls before Legend advised them to get to the back of the line.

Jax and her partner then launched a surprise attack on the champions, with the former WWE Women’s Champion taking out Paige.

Paige Was Busted Open On WWE SmackDown

As soon as Paige hit the mat, she reached for her head. The current Women’s Tag Team Champion later took to social media to reveal that she was busted open, showing graphic video and pictures of a gash in her scalp.

The Anti-Diva claimed it was Nia Jax’s way to welcome her back.
