Nia Jaxx is one of our favorite NXT wrestlers and her confidence is one of her best qualities. In an interview with the Miami Herald she talks modelling, NXT & the WWE.
Nia raves about her time wrestling in NXT.
“Everything is incredibly, physically challenging. Most challenging, mainly for me, learning how to bump, learning to trust your body and trust somebody else with your body, when we’re learning how to do bodyslams and suplexes and figuring out how to kick somebody right while making sure to protect each other. In the beginning, for me, a forward roll was pretty challenging.”
She then talks about her time as a plus-size model.
“Not everybody is made to be a size 0 or a size 4, and I’m not saying there is anything wrong with being a size 0 or a size 4. Being my [plus] size is something I’ve had to deal with my whole life. I’ve always been the big girl. I’ve always had curves, and I never could relate to any of the girls like the Victoria Secret models. Once I realized, when I became a plus-size model, that there were more women like me, my confidence immediately shot through the roof. When I was able to walk out there and show younger girls, who are like me when I was their age — who didn’t see girls who are curvier being put in a beautiful light — it just made me think that I have to be able to show these girls that they are just as beautiful as the girls who are size 0.”
We are here for Nia and can’t wait to see her capture the NXT championship or move up to the main roster.
