WWE Raw witnessed an unlikely romantic angle between Enzo Amore and Nia Jax. Back then Nia used to be a heel whereas Enzo was a huge babyface superstar on the roster. It was the beginning for the latter one to just enter the 205 Live division and take it over.
The creative team of WWE Raw started this bizarre angle to let Enzo have a long title run with the Cruiserweight title. He just picked up the championship from Neville back in the fall of 2017. This was the prime reason why the King of Cruiserweights left the WWE brand out of frustrations.
Enzo Amore was never a good wrestler by any means. The only reason he got a chance to hold the Cruiserweight title was his mic skills. So a valet character by him suited the perfect in the form of Nia Jax. Apparently, there were two strong reasons behind this romantic storyline on WWE Raw.
The first reason was quite obvious to protect Enzo Amore from his opponents. The behemoth superstar in WWE’s female division would help him winning matches and especially in the title bouts. This would have also helped him to build a strong heel character.
Alexa Bliss got involved into the mix as well into this storyline. She was the best friend of Nia Jax back then. Whenever her friend wanted to get cozy with Enzo she used to appear in the scene and ruin the day. This was just to set up an upcoming feud at Wrestlemania.
A post from The 434 Facebook page revealed that the Wrestlemania angle between Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax was about to start through this. Enzo would cheat Nia for Alexa at one point. This could start a solid feud between Alexa and Nia over the WWE Raw women’s championship for the biggest event of the year.
All of these planning went out of the window after Enzo Amore left the company abruptly. A woman accused him of sexual harassment in January 2018 after which WWE suspended him on the spot. The Cruiserweight title remained vacant for a long time until Wrestlemania.
