The social media feud between RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey and predecessor Nia Jax is intensifying before the two collide at the upcoming TLC pay-per-view. Rousey took to Instagram to call Jax out before the two engage in a tag team match on this Monday’s episode of RAW:
Jax then took to Twitter in response and urged the RAW Women’s Champion to spend less time on social media and more time ‘learning how to wrestle’:

Both women have come under strong criticism from fans and media alike in recent weeks. Rousey has taken heat from those who blame her for being too physical with Alexa Bliss . Bliss has reportedly suffered a rash of injuries (including concussions) since squaring off with the former UFC Champion.
Jax drew criticism after connecting with a brutal punch that left SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch with a severe concussion and a broken face that kept her from representing the blue brand against Rousey at Survivor Series .
Jax and Rousey will settle their differences in the ring at the December 16th TLC pay-per-view.
