Birth name: Savelina Fanene fka Nia Jax Born: May 29th, 1984 From: Sydney, Australia
Savelina Fanene is a former WWE Superstar and E! Total Divas Star. She was a force to be reckoned with in the women's division. Savelina aimed to prove to be the most dominant and fierce competitor that stepped in the ring, and she did just that during her 7-year stint in WWE, where she became RAW Women's Champion and two-time Women's Tag Team Champion etching her name in history for years to come.
There was one thing that was painfully clear when someone stepped in the ring with Savelina: "She was not like most women".
