Possible Night Of Champions Opponent For Nikki Bella, NJPW Star Popular With WWE Crew, Nia Jax
- As noted, The Rock's cousin Nia Jax, formerly known as Lina Fanene, will be debuting on WWE NXT TV soon. WWE is looking to build her up as a huge monster like Awesome Kong in TNA.
- We noted before that several New Japan Pro Wrestling officials and talents were backstage for the WWE events in New York City last weekend. Kazuchika Okada was said to be very popular backstage with the WWE crew at SummerSlam.
- No word yet on who Nikki Bella will defend the WWE Divas Title against at Night of Champions next month but it was expected to be Charlotte a few weeks back. However, plans for the Divas division have been changing a lot lately.
