Nia Jax Defeats Bayley.

2 weeks ago By Jhon Woug

As one of the most exciting shifts in the WWE women’s division over the years, Nia Jax has returned to the ring with a stunning win against one of the most well-known talents of the wrestling world, Bayley. This bout is not only the representation of the rivalry that has been up and running in WWE’s women’s division but also the match of the change in the careers of both wrestlers. Nia Jax’s win makes her a fearsome champion when she comes back, while Bayley has a huge obstacle that may cause her downfall.

The Story of the Build-up to the Match

Nia Jax returned to WWE, and that was somewhat shocking to many. Since being let go in 2021 because of budget issues, Jax has been out of the ring. For months she had no future in wrestling. However, when she made her unexpected return, she did so with a clear message: she was back to regain her spot as one of the deadliest rivals in the women’s WWE division.

Bayley, on the other hand, had been experiencing a good stint as an active faction member of Damage CTRL, which she formed together with Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai. At that time, Bayley had moved from her ‘Hugger’ babyface gimmick to her ‘Role Model’ heel character in a new role at the company. She was indeed one of the most versatile females that the division had to offer, a female who could make any match and any story line better.

As soon as Nia Jax came back to the WWE ring, she immediately began targeting the top talent in the company, and therefore a match with Bayley was always going to happen. Jax’s powerhouse dominance of the Women’s Division was set up against Bayley’s cunning and technical skills in the ring.

The Match: Nia Jax’s Overpowering Force against the Veteran Bayley

Fans were looking forward to the match and to see the performance of Nia Jax, who was out of action for quite some time. Some people even wondered whether Jax, who had large built and powerful muscles, could regain the energy that she used to have before she left. On the other hand, Bayley, a one-time women’s champion, entered the match with the full intention of trying to show that she hadn’t lost a step to Jax when she came back from the injury.

The Opening Moments

To begin with, one could see that Nia Jax was in good form, and she did not even look like she had lost any matches. Instantly the bell rang. She started the attack and began to tear down Bayley using all the size and power she had. Jax came out charging at the bell for the match, and that put Bayley on the back foot for the first 5 minutes of the bout, where she had to use her savvy and smarts to survive.

Smarting up for the fight, Bayley quickly understood that it would be suicidal to try and compete with Jax in terms of power. Instead, she decided to tire out Jax, who only had power punches, and thus concentrated on her legs and used fast footwork to dodge Jax’s heavy hits. There were a few times in the match where Bayley was able to get some distance between her and Jax, using a series of drop kicks and elbows to gain some space.

Jax’s Dominance

Basically, through all her efforts, Nia Jax’s power was overwhelming that even Bayley could not handle any longer. Jax’s offense was violent and well planned. Power moves such as the imposing Samoan Drop as well as a bone-crushing leg drop saw the life squeezed out of Bayley. Jax was much bigger and stronger than her rival, and she was also able to set the pace in the match; Bayley tried to take the initiative several times but was unable to do so.

Jax’s return to the ring also witnessed a better version of her in-ring ability, or rather, speaking of the style. One of Jax’s selling points is her powerhouse offense, and while she laid it on thick, she did so in a more methodical manner, targeting the midsection and back of Bayley. Every time Bayley attempted to take control of the match and start an offense, the champion stopped her with a solid blow or a powerful slam.

Bayley’s Resilience

As is typical throughout her career, one of Bayley’s strengths was her ability to persevere, and that was evidenced here. For most of the match, Nia Jax was on the rampage, but Bayley never quit the ring. This was evident when she was kicked out of multiple near-falls and still fought back despite the many odds against her.

There was once when Bayley countered Jax’s powerbomb attempt into a hurricane that saw Jax landing on the corner turn buckle. It appeared that this time the change of momentum happened as Bayley proceeded to execute a top-rope elbow drop—one of her favorites. The fans stood up to their feet, thinking that Bayley has a chance to produce a comeback and win the match. Nevertheless, Jax was out at two, proving herself as a very determined competitor and ready to win.

The Turning Point

The climax of the match was when Bayley tried to execute what is called the Rose Plant on her opponent. As one of the attacks from Jax, Bayley attempted to hook Jax’s arm and bring her head down face first into the mat. Although, because of Jax’s size, Bayley could not properly perform the move that she was attempting to do on him.

The champion was quick to respond; she grabbed Bayley by the neck and threw her to the mat with a nasty powerbomb. The effect was harsh, and now the advantage was returned back to Jax in the match.

Knowing that the end of the match was near, Jax lifted up Bayley and delivered a powerful Samoan drop. The referee counted the pinfall, and with that, Nia Jax was able to pin down Bayley to give her a clear victory.

The Aftermath: Where Is Nia Jax and Bayley Headed Next?

Nia Jax’s win over Bayley will go a long way in signaling her return to WWE. Through this victory over one of the most successful females in the division, Jax has claimed her rightful spot for the title contention. This win also sends a message to the entire women’s roster: Bless the wrestling gods for this—Nia Jax is back, and she is still the bully that we all know.

Nia Jax’s Future

With a statement victory under her belt, the question now is: What’s in store for Nia Jax? Due to her size, strength, and newfound intensity, it becomes evident that Jax is destined to dominate the WWE women’s division. Her targets are most probably on the championship gold, especially the WWE Women’s Championship that is currently owned by one of the WWE’s prominent personalities.

This means the women’s title scene will be even more interesting with the return of Jax. Current WWE main roster superstars such as Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair, Bianca Belair, Asuka, and others are all regular fixtures in the title picture, and Jax’s return may upset the applecart. A rivalry between Jax and any of these women would result in intense, closely convened matches, which are desirable by fans.

Also, this match could be followed by the duel between Jax and Bayley, where the latter would want to take revenge. With the history that Jax has with Bayley, especially now that she is back and established as a top heel, the two could be in line for a long-term program.

Bayley’s Setback

According to the expert’s prediction, for Bayley, the loss to Nia Jax is rather a drawback. Even though Bayley possesses ring experience and great in-ring ability, she could not stand a chance against Jax’s brute force. As a result of this defeat, Bayley now has a major dilemma in her wrestling career. Although she has been an active wrestler in WWE’s women’s division for many years, this kind of loss may force her to change the strategies that she has been using for years.

Bayley has not been an alien to difficulties before. In her career, she has developed the character and can change according to the circumstances. Looking at the transformation from the ‘Hugger’ character to the ‘Role Model’ villain role, Bayley has demonstrated the ability to adapt as and when required. This latest loss could see another transition in her character and literally turn into a new and perhaps worse character, like a ruthless Bayley.

It also opens up the question of whether or not this will impact Bayley’s position in Damage CTRL, which she leads as a team. Thanks to Iyo Sky, who is already the holder of the WWE Women’s Championship, issues can begin starting within the faction where Bayley can feel that she is being overshadowed by her partner Iyo Sky. One could imagine the angle that deals with Bayley facing challenges in holding her spot in Damage CTRL, which may result in a power dispute or the group’s dissolution.

Effect on WWE’s Women’s Division

Nia Jax’s win over Bayley means a great deal for WWE’s women’s division. The addition of Jax gives the roster a new dimension, and her victory sets a tone for the other competitors in the women’s division. In terms of size, strength, and a newfound determination, Jax is set to be one of the main contenders for the Women’s Championship.

On the other hand, Bayley’s loss is another facet in her storyline development. At the same time, Bayley is one of the brightest and most successful WWE female wrestlers, and she will surely regain her position. After the loss, it will be interesting to observe how she will rebuild herself and get back to the ring. Her fight with Jax may not be the last, and the viewers are likely to see more battles between these two characters in the future.

Also, the win for a star wrestler like Nia Jax provides the opportunity to create new rivalries in the women’s roster. The new feuds will be fresh as Jax will be coming to challenge some of the top wrestlers, such as Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, Raquel Rodriguez, and even Shayna Baszler.

Conclusion: Nia Jax Made Her Comeback

Nia Jax’s win against Bayley can be described as one of the most significant moments in her wrestling career with WWE. Jax has been absent for quite some time now, but she came back and showed the fans that she is still a force to reckon with in the women’s division. Not only does her win establish her as a serious contender, but it also hints at a possible future for rising rivalries and potential title challenges.

For Bayley, this loss is only a temporary moment that she has to go through, but it also brought a new way to tell the story of her character. Whether she wants to have retribution from Jax or finds another direction, Bayley’s determinism and versatility make it certain that she will stay as one of the main contenders in the WWE women’s division.


In the upcoming months, as Nia Jax and Bayley’s journey forward in WWE goes on, the significance of this match will remain apparent. One thing is clear: and now that Nia Jax is back in the fold, WWE’s women’s division is going to be even more competitive.
