Quote from Nia Jax

“It’s so funny because we’re the badasses, we’re the heels, we’re the jerks. Were supposed to stay stoic but like, I got super emotional watching Lash win the tag titles and her first ever title in the WWE. I started to get emotional and I’m like, hold it together, keep it together, you’re supposed to be a badass. It was such a beautiful moment and to see the look on her face hearing the 1-2-3 and then bringing us the title, it was such a beautiful moment. I’m never gonna forget that.”
