Ambrose/Jax Not Happening ?

Yesterday, we told you about Nia Jax taking on Dean Ambrose at an upcoming house show in Arkansas. However, there appears to be conflicting reports as if the match is actually happening. Post Wrestling is reporting that a WWE source has stated that the advertisement for the house show is outdated, and the Jax vs Ambrose match will not be occurring.

People talking bollocks – Ronda’s name from the past might have opened a path to the main event, but my work in present will make sure people give a shit when we get there.

Jason’s Thoughts On Today’s News

Slow news day today folks. No rumors of anyone jumping to AEW today, so I may be out of a job soon. I digress.

Argue it, agree with it, not like it, but Rousey is the reason why women (whether its Rousey/Lynch, Rousey/Flair, or Rousey/Flair/Lynch) could/will be main eventing WrestleMania. Rousey is a household, crossover name. More people are familiar with who she is then they are with who Becky Lynch is. WrestleMania is the biggest wrestling event on the globe, and WWE does everything they can to make it as mainstream as possible. I wont argue that Lynch is most likely the most over women, if not superstar period, on the roster. She is the complete package, looks, talent, and mic skills. But make no mistake about it, Rousey is the reason for the main event.

If Ambrose/Jax isn’t occurring at a house show anytime soon, you could expect that this match will occur at WrestleMania. Jax is the woman that best makes sense to break the barrier in women taking on men in a WWE ring.
