It looks like WrestleMania’s Women’s Tag Team Championship match has claimed more than just Sasha Banks’ smile. According to a report by Pro Wrestling Sheet, Nia Jax will be going under the knife to repair her injured knees and could be out of action for up to nine months. Nia, who tagged with Tamina in the fatal four way, was suffering from ACL tears in both her knees before the encounter.
Nia posted this ominous message to Twitter today, foretelling the injury report. The caption reads “I’ll be gone for a while. Here’s something to remember me by.” along with several kiss mark emojis.

Nia had been most recently known as the “Facebreaker”, riding a wave of heel momentum stemming from injuring Becky Lynch’s face and contributing to her rise to the top of the Women’s division. WrestleZone wishes Nia a speedy recovery from her surgery.
Nia has also posted the following, confirming she will have surgery on both of her knees to repair her ACL injuries.
Some of you may or may not know, but I will be out of action for a little while. Unfortunately, I have been pushing through some pain over the last year due to injuries in my knees and I will be undergoing surgery to repair both of my ACLs. I’m grateful to everyone who has supported me!
Thank you!
Xoxo Nia
