Nia Jax Crowned New WWE Women’s Champion at SummerSlam – At WWE SummerSlam 2024, Nia Jax captured the WWE Women’s Championship by defeating Bayley in a hard-fought match that showcased the resilience of the former champion and the sheer power of Jax. This victory marks Jax’s second reign as WWE Women’s Champion, with her first title win occurring six years ago.
The match played out as a classic story of Bayley, the underdog, fighting valiantly against the overwhelming strength of Nia Jax. Despite Jax’s dominance, Bayley utilized her experience and tactical prowess to stay in the fight. She even attempted to use the guillotine choke, a move she had successfully employed against Jax in their NXT days at TakeOver: London 2015. However, Jax’s power proved to be a formidable challenge, as she managed to overpower Bayley’s submission attempts.
Bayley also tried to execute her signature Bayley-to-Belly suplex, but it wasn’t enough to keep Jax down. In the closing moments of the match, Jax delivered her devastating finisher, the AnNiahilator, but Bayley showcased her tenacity by kicking out of the first attempt. It took a second AnNiahilator to finally secure the pinfall victory, ending Bayley’s 119-day reign as champion.
Adding to the drama, Tiffany Stratton attempted a Money in the Bank cash-in during the match, but Bayley thwarted her efforts, focusing her attention back on Jax. However, this distraction played into Jax’s favor, as she capitalized with two powerful powerbombs before hitting her final AnNiahilator to win the match.
Nia Jax’s victory at SummerSlam not only solidifies her place at the top of the women’s division but also marks a significant moment in her career, as she reclaims the WWE Women’s Championship after a long journey back to the title picture. Bayley, who won the title from IYO SKY at WrestleMania XL, fought valiantly in this bout, but ultimately, Jax’s power and determination were too much to overcome.
