Nia Jax Addresses Infamous ‘BBL Bayley’ Remark

Nia Jax has been part of the WWE family for a long time now and her current booking has certainly impressed fans. She is currently engaged in a program with Bayley and ended up calling her ‘BBL Bayley’ last week on SmackDown and Jax has now revealed the reasoning behind that line.

Nia Jax has earned the right to challenge Bayley for the Women’s Title at SummerSlam on August 3rd after she won the Queen of the Ring tournament by defeating Lyra Valkyria back in May.

On the July 12th episode of WWE SmackDown, Nia Jax confronted WWE Women’s Champion Bayley, engaging in a heated exchange where Jax referred to Bayley as “BBL Bayley,” making an obvious remark about her backside and that shocked fans.

While speaking in an interview with Tim Battle on the Battleground Podcast, Nia Jax explained her choice of words. She noted that her comment was intended to highlight what she sees as an obvious aspect of Bayley’s character. Jax reflected on their long history together, dating back to their time in NXT, and mentioned that they had never had a significant promotional or storytelling interaction on the main roster.

Jax described Bayley’s physique as “an all-natural, beautiful Brazilian booty,” acknowledging Bayley’s physical attributes while noting that Bayley seems to have become more confident and embracing of her natural features over time.

“I was just saying the obvious. I just kind of thought of it because Bayley and I have such a history, going way back into NXT. It’s been a solid decade of me and Bayley. We’ve never been able on the main roster to have a real good interaction of promo and storytelling. When we got in there, and she brought up the injuring and all this stuff, it just hit me, and I was literally saying the obvious, what everybody has known for her to have. I have known Bayley long to know that is an all-natural, beautiful Brazilian booty, Latina [laughs], but knowing her for as long as I have and seeing her character develop, I think she’s been more embracing of her God-given talents. So I just stated the obvious.”

Nia Jax’s match at SummerSlam will also mark the first time she even comments at the Biggest Party of The Summer. In the meantime, fans can expect Nia Jax to have more zingers prepared for Bayley as they will likely confront each other a few times before SummerSlam.
