"I think everyone is familiar with the fact that we have obviously been very vocal about our female performers and re-branding them as Superstars.

Nia Jax explains why she walked out:

Last October Nia Jax reportedly walked away from her WWE career due to backstage frustrations. She ultimately returned. She has now offered an explanation of what the real reason for her time away was...

''It wasn't something that was that big of a deal. I had actually had an injury that happened to me personally on a flight—an overhead bag fell directly on top of my head while I was on a plane. I was out of it, I was completely out of it. I'm not kidding you. It was just something where I had to go and make sure I was okay and rest up. It was right before a tour. All it was, was just like, 'Hey, you're not the storyline right now. Go take a break. Make sure you're okay, and then come back for tour.' That was it. That was the bottom line. That was the story."
