Nia Jax puts over Naomi and the pioneering she has done in women’s wrestling.
While speaking with Nightcap, Jax had the following to say about the veteran.
“Naomi, she’s been pioneering for the Black women for 15-16 years. That woman, and it makes me so mad because I feel like she didn’t get the flowers she truly deserves. She’s so incredible. She put up with so much. One day she’ll tell her story, but she put up with so much that now, it’s easier for us. Now, it’s normal. Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks got to main event, but it didn’t come without somebody like Naomi and Jacqueline, these women who really paved the way. It’s incredible to see now.” (Fightful/Transcript)
Naomi is currently out of action while pregnant with her first child. Jax will defend the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships with Lash Legend on April 18’s WrestleMania 42.
