She is the hardest woman in wrestling: Nia Jax. In the Megaevent “WWE Royal Rumble”, the cousin of Actionstar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson meets the former title holder Sasha Banks. In the interview, Nia Jax tells why she is a rather unusual show-fighter and which (evil) German word she likes best.

Nia Jax, you are Samoan, but your mother Renate comes from Germany. What is typical of you German?

Nia Jax: I am stubborn, very disciplined in any case and working hard. And I have definitely got the great personality inherited from my mother. Also in my eyes one sees totally that I have German roots.

Do they also speak German?

Nia Jax: (In German) A bit of German.

Do you have a favorite German word?

Nia Jax: Oh, but this is not a nice word. An evil word.

Just say …

A … loch (laughs). But another is more beautiful: my mother always called me “my darling”.

How strong are your connections to Germany?

Nia Jax: During our last tour in Europe we were in Germany. I had never been there before. My mother and my older brother came along. We still have a family in Munich. We saw them for the first time in our lives, before only in pictures. We had talked only once on the phone. And for her it was the first WWE-Liveshow. It was really cool.

Then to the wrestling: You are bigger, heavier and stronger than your opponents at the TV shows “RAW” and “NXT”, but you have never won a title. Why?

Nia Jax: Definitely, I am all that. For a title but I am not yet mature. When I get so far, I’ll target her and get her. Trust me. I do not worry about that.

Now you are in a feud with Sasha Banks. The title is currently held by Charlotte Flair …

Nia Jax: Sasha Banks puts such an arrogance into the day, calling herself “The Boss”. It just get on my nerves. She is definitely not my boss. On Charlotte, I have it as well. But not yet.

What do you think of the idea of ​​a “Royal Rumble” for women?

Nia Jax: That would be great. The women’s division has never been as athletic and good as today. Many have been raised by “NXT” and are arriving well. It would really be an event if you could see us all together at the “Royal Rumble” in the ring.

When you think of wrestlers, you have athletic models in mind. Is it a disadvantage to you that you do not correspond to this stereotype?

Nia Jax: Not at all. On the contrary: I have an advantage because I am unique. True, most wrestlers are pretty and in a great condition, but not every woman is like that. There are certainly a lot of German women who can identify with larger and wider women in the ring. And on me they see that it works just as well as with the other wrestlers.

How many kilos do you actually lift?

Nia Jax: That depends on what I do. With knee bends, it is about 135 kilos, while the cross-raising I manage loose 180 kilos. I have been very strong since my young age. Thanks to my Samoan-German origin, this is also clear.
