Nia Jax Says She Got “Super Emotional” After Seeing Lash Legend Win Women’s Tag Team Title

Nia Jax found it tough to control her emotions when she and Lash Legend captured the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship last week on Friday Night SmackDown.

The Irresistible Forces challenged Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY for the belts, and the match ended with Legend pinning The Eradicator to notch up her first championship victory on the main roster.

Lash officially joined the SmackDown roster last November and immediately aligned herself with Nia Jax.

Jax recently appeared on the Beyond The Bell podcast, where she revealed that she got emotional after seeing Lash win the tag title for the duo.

“It’s so funny because we’re the bada*ses; we’re the heels; we’re the jerks. We’re supposed to stay stoic, but like, I got super emotional watching Lash win the tag titles and her first-ever title in the WWE. I started to get emotional, and I’m like, ‘Hold it together; keep it together. You’re supposed to be a bada*s.’ It was such a beautiful moment, and to see the look on her face hearing the 1-2-3 and then bringing us the title—it was such a beautiful moment. I’m never gonna forget that,” Jax said.
