Nia Jax has opened up about some of wrestling’s so-called “unspoken rules.”
Appearing on The Masked Man Show with Kazeem and David Shoemaker, the WWE Superstar was asked about backstage traditions she finds outdated or questionable.
“There’s an unspoken rule where rookies should know the rules backstage. And so sometimes they don’t, and then they get in trouble for not knowing something,” Nia said. “There are some that I’m like, ‘Yeah, I think you should.’ Like, rookies should come in early and stay late.
“Back in the day, if we were on the bus, the rookie would get the alcohol off the bus and help everybody — certain things like that. I find it’s better to keep certain traditions because wrestling is such a niche. I don’t think we’re ever going to be something soft; it’s always going to be kind of like we’re Barnum & Bailey, like we’re a circus. We kind of have to keep a little tradition.”
Lash Legend and Nia Jax are set to challenge for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship in a fatal four-way tag team match at WrestleMania 42 this weekend. WrestleZone will provide live coverage of the event across both nights.
