Nia Jax is one of the top stars on WWE RAW and she’s currently slated to face RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey at WWE TLC. The self-proclaimed ‘face breaker’ is certainly the object of a lot of fans ire for breaking the nose of Becky Lynch leading up to this year’s Survivor Series pay-per-view, but Jax can also attract unfair criticism from online trolls due to her weight.
Recently, there was quite a mean-spirited Photoshop that traveled through social media of Nia Jax being ridiculously more heavy than she actually is. However, this doesn’t break the Anoa’i Strong spirit of Jax, as she has a really positive disposition about her body image and is pretty good about handling the trolls. Nia has her backers on social media also and had this exchange with a supporter.

Nia also spoke to Impact Theory about feeling blessed and how she handles negative criticism about her body:
I never thought anybody would deliberately try to hurt somebody if they were in a good place with themselves.
I always say speak up, I know maybe people don’t want to but you have to, because you are not alone.
You can see the full emotionally moving interview below:
This week’s guest is Nia Jax, the former undisputed WWE raw women’s champion, a plus-sized model, and an inspiration to women everywhere.
