Nia Jax tells all about her “my hole” line.
Jax went viral when she yelled “my hole” when she hit a leg drop on the February 8, 2021 episode of WWE RAW, and the spot remains one of the most memorable moments in recent WWE history.
Speaking on Ring The Belle, Jax opened up about the spot. First, Jax joked about telling the whole story before she noted that she had more fun during the COVID era of WWE because it was more laid-back, so the Superstars were allowed to explore/
‘The whole hole story, this irresistible hole,” Jax said. “I get it, I totally get it. I always say, I had the best time during the COVID era because there was so much more time and leeway for us to be creative and have fun, show a little bit more personality. We actually had longer matches. I had a great time. I missed the fans, but I think they were more relaxed backstage to let us kind of explore out there.”
Jax then recalled how she and Triple H (Hunter) joked about the “hole” when they were rehearsing the leg drop, and she decided to roll with it in order to pop him, Vince McMahon, and others in the back. She also described how she didn’t expect the spot to get so popular, as she hadn’t expected the camera to completely catch the line.
“Before we had this, when we were in rehearsal, and we went over the leg drop on the apron, it was actually Hunter and I that joked about my hole,” Jax said. “It was just a joke that I said. He was like, ‘Oh, imagine if you said that.’ Then I was like, ‘Oh, I’m gonna pop them.’ I wanted to make him laugh in Gorilla [position] because we had joked about it in rehearsal. So when I did that and I was like, ‘My hole,’ it was to pop Hunter and Vince in the back.
” I did not realize it got caught so clearly on the camera. I didn’t realize that they straight-up caught the entire, and I’m loud, obviously. So when I went backstage, they were cracking up. They were dying laughing. It was just a little more relaxed during those times. So they were laughing. Then I go to my phone, and everybody was like, ‘Why are you trending about your hole?’ I was like, oh my gosh. This was not supposed to happen at all. It was not even supposed to go this far at all.’”
Jax then recalled how WWE was going to make a :my hole” shirt, but someone nixed it once it reached a certain stage of the process.
“Then they were like, ‘Let’s make a shirt out of it. Let’s continue this going,” Jax said. “They actually have a shirt, a ‘my hole’ shirt, they did. It went through all these steps to get approved because at the moment, it was hot. I forget, it was stopped for some reason. I think somebody was like, ‘Oh, we don’t want to make her into a joke.’ But I would have ran with my hole, 100%. That was the story behind that. It was a good time.”
In the same interview, Jax discussed potentially returning to WWE. Check out her comments here.
