WWE Royal Rumble: Released star said 'f*** no' after being asked to be at the huge show

Nia Jax told WWE she had no interest in appearing in the women's Royal Rumble match last weekend.

WWE released Nia Jax in November 2021, in perhaps one of the most surprising dismissals of the last few years.

Soon after her release, it was reported that Jax had been let go due to the fact she wasn't vaccinated, but this is something she has strongly denied.

Speaking to Renee Paquette on her Oral Sessions podcast, Jax confirmed that like Mickie James and The IIconics, she was contacted about being in the Royal Rumble match.

I thought it was my friend joking with me. 'Oh, you're hiliarious.' 'Actually, this is an official call.' 'Oh, f*** no, I'm not coming back.' 'We'd like to offer you this.' I said, 'first of all, I'm still under my 90 days. You're still going to be paying me anyway, so you're not offering me anything. No, I'm not coming back. Absolutely f***ing not. Is this all it was?' 'Yes.' 'Okay, bye.'"

Jax said that it felt like a slap in the face to be asked to appear in one of WWE's biggest matches of the year just weeks after being fired:

That's exactly what it was. They were accumulating a list, this is what I was told, they were accumulating a list and wanted to offer me the opportunity, accumulate a list that they send to Vince, then Vince goes through the list and says who he wants and
