WWE star Nia Jax spoke withย Screenrant about several topics, including Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley.

Jax said, โ€œRhea is one of our top athletes. Female, male, sheโ€™s one of our top athletes. I think, previously, when we got into it, we had the main event in Elimination Chamber last year, I tried a different strategy. But this time I feel like I got to match her with some intensity. I think just coming out of the gate, and going pound for pound with her and seeing if I could just wear her down and then pick at her, pick her apart.โ€

On taking part in Saturday Nightโ€™s Main Event:

โ€œItโ€™s a beautiful history. WWE is so good at keeping our history and our culture so strong. I come from a wrestling family, and Iโ€™ve seen my family throughout the years, the decades, on all these historic shows. Being a part of Saturday Nightโ€™s Main Event is going to be a cool thing on its own, but competing for this womenโ€™s World Heavyweight Championship is huge because I havenโ€™t held that title. Thatโ€™s something that I want in my accolades. Thatโ€™s something I want when I look back in my history to say that, โ€˜Okay, I got that as one as well.โ€™ Rhea thinks that sheโ€™s at the top of the pyramid for the womenโ€™s division, but I have a little bit of a rude awakening for her, because last year was my year, and Iโ€™m continuing it this year. Iโ€™m coming for that title. I donโ€™t care what gets in my way.โ€
