A Dynamic Duo in the Making
Redmond didn’t hesitate when asked who she’d team up with for a pickleball match. “I have to say Nia Jax here,” she remarked. Despite Jax’s playful jabs in the locker room, Redmond describes their bond as a “weird relationship” that resembles a persistent younger sibling and an older sister.
“I know that she tries to convince everyone that she hates me; she doesn’t, she loves me. Legitimately, we see each other in the locker room, and she’s always making fun of me and being mean, but I know that she loves me.” – (Redmond)
The Pickleball Connection
The connection between the two extends beyond the wrestling ring. Jax, a former basketball player, has talked pickleball with Redmond, sparking the latter’s dream of playing alongside her. “I am begging her to hit a pickleball court with me so that we can play,” Redmond shared.
“I’m like that little kid sister to her that won’t go away that is super annoying, but I won’t give up on our friendship and I know that she plays pickleball.” – (Redmond)
Their potential venue? Vancouver. Redmond teased the possibility of filming their pickleball outing, creating anticipation for fans who would love to see this partnership in action.
“We’re hoping maybe we can do in Vancouver and if we do, I will of course film some of it. Yeah, that would be my partner of choice because I know she’s strong.” – (Redmond)
Strength on the Court
Redmond has no doubt about Jax’s abilities on the court.
“I don’t even have to see her play to know that she would be an intimidating force on a pickleball court just by being Nia Jax.” – (Redmond)
With Jax’s athletic background and sheer presence, it’s clear why Redmond considers her an ideal partner.
