WWE fans, buckle up—Nia Jax just spiced up the internet chatter with a cheeky Twitter challenge aimed at WWE backstage interviewer and NHL broadcaster Jackie Redmond.
The drama all started when a report from Ringside News hinted that Redmond was open to stepping into the wrestling ring. Cue the social media frenzy, with fans envisioning Redmond trading her microphone for a pair of wrestling boots. But before the buzz could settle, Redmond jumped in to set the record straight.
“That’s not at all what I said!? lol,” Redmond tweeted, addressing the confusion head-on. “I said if anyone can get a HOCKEY PLAYER in the ring it would be CM Punk. I have absolutely zero desire to wrestle 😂.” And just like that, the supposed storyline twist involving CM Punk, Otis, and Jey Uso training Redmond was put to bed. Redmond made it crystal clear—she’s staying on the sidelines with her mic in hand.
However, the internet never sleeps. WWE Superstar Nia Jax decided to fan the flames with a playful tweet of her own. “Please get in the ring @Jackie_Redmond let’s fight,” Jax posted, giving fans a little more to dream about.
Whether she meant it as a joke or a real challenge, the WWE Universe is already abuzz with what could be the match of the year—should Redmond ever decide to take Jax up on her offer.
Ringside News, for its part, owned up to the mix-up, apologizing to Redmond and its readers for the confusion. “We pride ourselves on bringing you the real scoop, but sometimes things get a little twisted, and that’s on us,” the outlet noted. Shoutout to Redmond for clearing the air and to Jax for keeping things lively.
The question now is, will Redmond surprise everyone and lace up her boots, or will she stick to what she does best as one of WWE’s most charismatic interviewers? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: Jax’s playful jab has everyone watching and waiting.
