WWE Touts Current Scottish Champions, Nia Jax On Dominating The WWE Roster, Lita, Marina Shafir
- As noted, this week's WWE RAW saw Nia Jax beat Kairi Sane to earn a spot in the upcoming women's Money In the Bank Ladder Match on May 10. Above is post-match video of Sarah Schreiber talking to Jax. Schreiber asks Jax if she was sending a message to the other competitors in the match.
"Sarah, look at me. I'm 6 foot, 300 pounds. Now if I really wanted to completely decimate everybody on this roster, do you honestly think they're actually gonna be able to stop me? Think about that," Jax said as she walked off.
Last night's RAW also saw Asuka and Shayna Baszler qualify for the six-woman MITB Ladder Match. Naomi vs. Dana Brooke and two other qualifiers will air during this week's SmackDown on FOX to finalize the line-up for the women's match.
