Nia Jax was recently a guest on the ‘Talk is Jericho’ podcast hosted by Chris Jericho. During the interview, she opened up about her WWE career so far.
One of the interesting topics that came up had to do with her first meeting with Vince McMahon. Nia told the story of when she finally mustered up the courage to go in to meet with Vince when she was just starting her career.
She shared the compliment that Vince gave her, comparing her to Andre the Giant. He also gave her some advice for her career moving forward:
“Obviously, Vince is like the big dog, he owns the company. You hear, ‘oh do this, do that because Vince likes it.’ So one day, I walked up to his office, grabbing some balls of mine and saying, ‘hey Vince.’ I walked in and thanked him for the opportunity he’s given me so far and want to know what [he] wants me to do in this division. He said, ‘You’re like the Andre the Giant of the females. It’s going to take a lot for these girls to get you down. You’re a killer, you’re strong.’ He basically just told me that they need to work to get you down and you need to protect yourself in that way,”
Some big praise when the boss compares you to one of the biggest draws in his company’s history. Fans have some mixed opinions of Nia so far but she is certainly unique in the WWE Women’s division.
