Nia Jax criticized for her “love tap” chair shots from the 2024 WWE Survivor Series PLE

During his podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi commented on Nia Jax’s chair shots from the 2024 WWE Survivor Series PLE…

“As a wrestler, I’ll tell you what. As a Samoan, you gotta swing that damn thing… It almost looked like a love tap. I don’t feel like she wanted to swing the chair, but she didn’t want to hurt somebody. Nia, if you’re listening, next time you grab that chair, It’s okay. Swing that damn thing like Babe Ruth. I want you to knock it out of the park, and if anybody comes to you complaining about it, about the chair shot, well, hey, this is the game that we’re in. This is what it is. If you can’t take a chair shot, well, you are in the wrong business.”

“I didn’t know if it was from slow motion from editing, but when I kept looking at it, just the way she was swinging it, like, Nia, if you’re listening, next time you grab that chair, It’s okay. Who knows the emotion? Is this a friend? What I’m saying is, you gotta put that out from your head when you’re performing. If I hit you with a chair, like, I’m gonna hit you with it, but it doesn’t mean that I’m gonna hit you hard, like I’m mad at you. It’s never that. We gotta protect what we got. You come to KnokX Pro. Let me show you how to swing that chair the right way. Keep practicing.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
