Nia Jax was quick to provide an update on her injury sustained at the hands of WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton after their main event match on Friday night.

What she would not have expected is for salt to be rubbed on her wounds.

In her Instagram post captioned ‘Nobody makes me bleed my own blood’ detailing her busted open forehead, Stratton mocked her, claiming responsibility for Jax’s pain.

Responding to the post, Stratton wrote, ‘I did’, followed by a laughing emoji.

On the other hand, Naomi took to X to hurl personal insults. Tagging Jax, she wrote, ‘I thought Samoans had hard heads? Yo head busted open like a can of biscuits.’

Nia Jax Remains Unfazed

A few other female wrestlers, too, reacted, expressing shock and support, including Zelina Vega and Natalya Neidhart. Despite the setback, Nia Jax appears headstrong.

In the dying minutes of the match, Naomi had interfered with a steel chair. However, before she could enter the ring, Jade Cargill came from the back and thwarted any possible attack. Stratton capitalized on this distraction, ultimately dropkicking the chair to Jax’s head and executing the Prettiest Moonsault Ever perfectly for the win.

While Stratton successfully fended off a difficult challenge from Jax, things aren’t likely to get easier for her. In a backstage section earlier on Friday night, Cargill confronted Stratton, making her intentions clear about challenging the champion for her title.

Also, with Money in the Bank PLE just around the corner, Stratton is sure to find herself with a target on her back.
