Nia Jax Explains What Really Happened With Charlotte Flair On WWE RAW – Former WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax recently revisited one of the most talked-about moments of her WWE career: the real-life altercation with Charlotte Flair during their match on the August 30, 2021 episode of WWE RAW. Appearing on the INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet podcast, Jax offered her perspective on what happened that night and why tensions boiled over in the ring.
According to Jax, the situation stemmed from a breakdown in communication rather than personal animosity. She explained that the match began to go off the rails after she felt Flair was not responding to repeated warnings to slow things down. As the bout continued, frustration mounted, eventually leading to a visible and unscripted exchange between the two.
“My match with Charlotte, where we kind of got into a little tiff, a little back and forth there. It was a miscommunication. I will say I’m going to call it a miscommunication,” Jax said. “Things got heated, like legit got heated in that match. I did warn her a few times to stop, to chill out, and she didn’t, so then I two-pieced her.”
The moment quickly became infamous among fans, as the physicality clearly went beyond what was planned. Despite the intensity seen on television, Jax emphasized that the issue did not carry over backstage once the match concluded.
“We came back and we were calm and we were level-headed, we all kind of were just like, ‘All right, got kind of out of hand,’” she explained. “But sometimes it happens. But yeah, it just got a little out of hand. It got hot and we just started swinging.”
The incident fueled widespread discussion at the time, particularly given both women’s high-profile status within the WWE women’s division. While rumors and speculation swirled in the aftermath, Jax’s comments reinforce the idea that the situation was handled professionally once emotions cooled.
Her remarks also highlight the realities of live television and in-ring communication, where even experienced performers can find themselves in tense situations when things do not go as planned. Years later, the moment remains a notable chapter in WWE history, but one that both competitors were able to move past once the match was over.
