The world of professional wrestling requires two performers to be synchronized and coordinated with one another due to the dangers of the industry. Fans are frustrated once again with yet another case of recklessness displayed by veteran wrestler Nia Jax.

Since making her debut in 2014, Jax has had a series of matches that led to hurting her fellow superstars. The latest blunder came with superstar Kairi Sane providing an update on her head injury she recently sustained. It came from a pretty standard routine where a wrestler throws their opponent to the steel steps.

While this move has been a constant play in the majority of wrestling matches, the maneuver was botched in the Sane and Jax matchup.

Instead of taking the blow of the steps with her upper body, Sane was instead launched headfirst to the steel. This lead to Sane being busted open and injured on ringside.

Some have pointed out that it was an accident and wasn’t completely Jax’s fault.

While some have been adamant that it was an incident that could have been avoided if Jax was more careful.

Sane opened up on social media how she would bounce back from this situation. She tweeted a photo of a large scar on her head and captioned how her heart can overcome this unfortunate circumstance.

This isn’t the first time that Jax has been involved in a situation regarding a fellow superstar’s safety. She was also one of the reasons for the iconic moment where Becky Lynch was bleeding profusely in the middle of the SmackDown ring. While this was one of the main reasons fans adored Lynch, it also resulted in a legitimate injury for the star.

In more recent news, one of Jax’s signature moves was also banned from use due to safety reasons. The buckle bomb has been utilized by Jax but has been shelved as a precautionary measure.

It’s vital that one wrestler takes care of the other or else it will lead to serious consequences. Moving forward, the company will do whatever it takes to take care of its talent especially during this unique time of a global pandemic.
