Current Women’s world champion Nia Jax was busted open after hitting her head on the ring post during the tag team championship match in Saturday night’s Smackdown against Bianca Belair and Naomi. In a video surfaced on social media, Jax, teamed up with Candice LeRae, had blood on her forehead as Naomi pushed her when the former was pushed while climbing up the turnbuckle.
The incident in the ring occurred when Naomi was dragged by Jax, who climbed the turnbuckle to go for the Annihilator. However, Naomi pushed her with full force as the commentator also took note of the incident and announced it on air.
Below is the video of the same:
Nia Jax really wanted it to look like her head smacked the ring post… so much so that her head actually hit the ring post and she was bleeding. #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/xiJezaS6Xg

Nia Jax is currently in her second reign as the women’s champion:
The Australian-American professional wrestler won the first title first in the year in 2018 and captured for the second time in the summerslam last year. Even as the 40-year-old is in the middle of a strong world title reign, the veteran is expected to lose the belt in the RAW Netflix debut show, as per a report by Sportskeeda.
If not, the title could change hands in the 2025 Royal Rumble.
