Prior to The Royal Rumble, Nia Jax sat down with “Bleacher Report” for an in-depth interview. During the interview, she discussed how she felt after accidentally injuring Becky Lynch with a punch, the words of encouragement that she received from Charlotte following the incident and more. Here are the highlights from the interview:

On How The Incident With Becky Led To Her Embracing The Opportunity To Develop Her Character:

Everything’s an opportunity in our business, whether you think it is or not. When the incident with Becky happened, it probably was one of those moments that I really was like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is a huge turning point in my career. This could go extremely horribly for me and might be the end of my career. Or we can turn this into something pretty cool for not just me, but for others that are involved.

On Being A Role Model For All Body Types:

I want the young fans that we have to be able to say: ‘Look at Nia Jax out there. She’s embracing her body. She’s embracing who she is, and she’s showing the whole world. ‘She’s walking down the runway in front of people.’ That’s very empowering for everybody, and that’s extremely important for me.

On What Charlotte Told Her Following The Punch:

She told me, ‘At the moment, I know it sucks. But look what it’s done for Becky. Look what it’s done for me. Look what it’s done for you as a heel.’

On How Charlotte Changed Her Perspective:

I didn’t really think of it that way when I was getting told to go die and never come out of my hole again. Some of the tweets really were going off the rails. But when she put it in that perspective, I started to think about it differently. Now, it’s something that people will remember forever. It was crazy, but it turned into something pretty cool.
