Nia Jax has stirred up backstage controversy with a new clip shared on her Instagram stories, giving fans an unfiltered look at the fallout from the December 2 episode of WWE RAW. The footage shows Shayna Baszler visibly frustrated and venting to Sonya Deville after her loss to Dakota Kai in the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship Tournament.
In the video, Baszler paces back and forth while expressing her disbelief over the outcome. “I can’t believe… You know what? I hope Dakota Kai goes and wins this whole thing. We all know it’s a matter of time before she gets injured and has to vacate the title, so we’d have to do another one of these tournaments,” Baszler fumes.
Deville agrees, adding, “You’re not wrong about all of this. You have a point. It sucks, and she doesn’t deserve to win it either.” Baszler doubles down, saying, “I show up day in and day out, and she shows up a month?” Deville fires back, “Half her career has been on wax, I said it yesterday. You’re not wrong. It’s bullshit. But you know what, the thing we can do is count on Zoey to pull off the win, that way we can get the title regardless.”
The clip has sparked fan debates about Dakota Kai’s role in the tournament and the authenticity of backstage rivalries. Dakota Kai, who scored a decisive victory over Baszler and Katana Chance, now advances in the tournament to crown the inaugural WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion. However, the footage has added layers of intrigue to what’s happening behind the scenes.
