Nia Jax has made her feelings known after Jade Cargill’s replacement at Survivor Series: WarGames was revealed. The Storm had been attacked backstage on SmackDown and is out of action for the time being. This has led to Bayley, also known as the Role Model, being added to the team led by Rhea Ripley, replacing Cargill. However, Jax is not happy about this development and has taken to social media to express her displeasure.

According to a tweet from Jax, which has since been expanded, she refers to Bayley as “the WORST PERSON” in response to her recent post. This outburst is likely in reference to Bayley’s actions on Monday Night RAW, where she cost Jax the WarGames advantage match against Bianca Belair. As a result, Jax’s trust was shattered, and Belair was forced to choose Bayley as the fifth member of Team Rhea for the WarGames match.

It is unclear what led to Bayley’s decision, but it is clear that she has the trust of The EST of WWE. In a recent post, Bayley seemed confident in her abilities, stating that she had “never backed down from a challenge” and that she was “ready to prove herself once again.” However, Jax does not seem to share this confidence, and her scathing tweet suggests that she believes Bayley is not the right person for the job.

Of course, this entire situation has come about as a result of Jade Cargill suffering a legitimate injury. Reports indicate that the Storm is dealing with a neck issue and will likely be out of action for at least three months, with a chance that she may not return to the ring for up to a year. While this is undoubtedly unfortunate for Cargill and her fans, it has led to an interesting dynamic in the WWE Women’s division.

It will be interesting to see how Bayley performs in this Saturday’s WarGames match, especially with the bad blood between her and IYO SKY not exactly resolved. Will Jax’s ire against Bayley affect the team’s morale, or will Bayley be able to put aside her differences and help her team achieve victory? Only time will tell.
