* NeverLiveItDown: A week before the 2018 ''Survivor Series'', Nia punched Becky Lynch so hard that she was legitimately injured, forcing Becky to be removed from the highly anticipated match between her and Ronda Rousey that had been building for weeks. Fans were ''not happy'' to say the least. During the event itself, Nia was booed to oblivion, especially when she won the Women's Traditional Survivor Series elimination tag team match as the sole survivor. Many fans believed that she was getting rewarded for being sloppy and injuring a coworker.

** It only got worse in 2020, when she underwent a series of matches with Kairi Sane that caused the Internet favourite some nasty head and neck injuries: first a poorly-timed buckle bomb,[[note]]Which led to that move being banned in WWE for about a year[[/note]] and then a botch involving steel steps. When Kairi abruptly departed from WWE to return to Japan and left the ring for a year and a half, Nia found herself taking colossal amounts of blame for it.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Her return in 2023 was met initially with great disapproval due to reasons stated below. However as she got into feuds with Raquel Rodriguez and Becky Lynch, it became clear that Nia had actually improved immensely, and was actually putting on some legitimately solid matches with the two. While she isn't without her detractors, it's nowhere near as bad as it was before.

** The two promos she delivered during her second feud with Ronda had her abruptly ''scream'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCdO3r_aGvM "MY TITLE!!!!!"]] into the mic at ear piercing levels. There was zero build up or reason for the complete change in tone. What was likely intended to make Nia come across like a slightly off-kilter monster backfired as fans were either amused or irritated about their bleeding ears.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: '''Big time''' in the late-2010s. Though many agree that her in-ring work has largely improved since arriving to the main roster, others have a strong dislike towards her because of her weak mic skills and somewhat inferior wrestling ability to the other women of Raw (i.e. Wrestling/SashaBanks, Wrestling/EmberMoon, Wrestling/MickieJames). She's also gained a reputation (possibly deserved, possibly not) of being sloppy and dangerous to work with after she legitimately demolished Wrestling/BeckyLynch's face with a careless punch, among other incidents.
* BrokenBase: Her entrance theme when she initially debuted. A lot of people called SoundtrackDissonance and not being appropriate for a violent wrestling monster. Others pointed out that the song outright said Nia was "not like most girls" - making sense that she would have a theme unlike a typical monster heel. Notably her in-ring persona was far more AlphaBitch like than a typical monster as well.

** Jax's return from injury in the spring of 2020 garnered ''very'' mixed reactions, with many fans still skeptical over her borderline reckless in-ring work. The criticism over her dangerous behavior exploded into discussion once again on the April 20th edition of RAW, when she botched a Buckle Bomb on Kairi Sane (a major EnsembleDarkHorse), very nearly injuring her in the process. The controversy about how dangerous and careless she is became so great that the company decided to ban the Buckle Bomb move altogether (at least from Jax's arsenal as Seth Rollins continues to use it).

The highlight of ''SS'' was Tamina nearly getting pancaked by Nia running the ropes; Tamina shouldn't have even been on the roster, she's made of glass and can barely move half the time.

** Her entrance in the #30 in the ''Men's'' Royal Rumble Match in 2019 (by ambushing and taking out the actual #30 entrant, [[Wrestling/RonKillings R-Truth]]), where she eliminated Mustafa Ali before getting superkicked by Wrestling/DolphZiggler, 619'd by Wrestling/{{Rey Mysterio|Jr}} and RKO'd by Wrestling/RandyOrton. This split the fans ''so'' many ways, between those who thought Nia's participation was awesome, [[TakeThatScrappy those who enjoyed seeing her get beaten up]], those who were pissed at what they saw as favouritism towards Nia, those who were just pissed at the #30 slot being given to her rather than someone else (such as Wrestling/TheVelveteenDream), [[XPacHeat those who actually hate Nia and don't want to see her at all]], and never mind the divide between those who approve what they see as the first step towards a return to proper intergender wrestling and those who were horrified at seeing a women, even a really big strong woman, get beaten up by a bunch of men.

* SoOkayItsAverage: Nia is one of those workers that rarely inspires hugely positive reactions, or wholly negative ones either (aside from her injury to Becky Lynch).

* DesignatedVillain: Her feud with Creator/RondaRousey had turned Nia heel for literally one week, not too long after being the Face of a Bully/Victim feud.

* NeverLiveItDown:
** A week before ''Survivor Series'' 2018, Nia punches Becky Lynch so hard she broke her nose, forcing Becky to be removed from the highly anticipated Becky vs Ronda Rousey that had been building for weeks. Fans were ''not happy'' to say the least.
** During the event itself, Nia was booed to oblivion, especially when she won the match. Many fans believed that she was getting rewarded for being sloppy and injuring a coworker.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Many fans feel that turning Nia back heel and returning back to her bully persona, just to feud with Ronda Rousey made her feud with Alexa Bliss (and Nia’s face turn) pointless, because during Nia’s storyline with Alexa, Nia was acting like a hero for those who were made fun of for being larger than anyone else. It was made even worse due to the fact that the heel turn didn't even last more than one episode.
