Speaking with World Wrestling Kid in an interview recorded before the 2024 WWE Royal Rumble, Jax praised the entire roster’s toughness but noted that Asuka was the toughest.

"All of them," she said, when asked who had hit the hardest. "Asuka is number one, though. Asuka has been one of my toughest [opponents]."

More recently, Jax competed against Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women's Championship on the May 16 episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown. During that match, she suffered a gnarly cut. Learn more here.
