Nia Jax hates Jonathan Coachman so much, that she worked to force him out of WWE, the former Raw & SmackDown commentator claimed this week. While speaking on the Behind The Turnbuckle: The Last Word podcast, Coachman reflected on his return to WWE in 2018 and how Jax allegedly wanted no part of him.
“She hates me, by the way, Nia Jax hates me… Nobody liked the fact that they brought me back. I’m not going to use the jealous word, it is what it is.
“Nia Jax led the charge. ‘Renee, Renee, Renee in Coach’s spot.’ She didn’t like me, for whatever reason.”
Coachman didn’t just have problems with the reigning WWE Women’s Champion, but there were also issues with Vince McMahon. On the podcast, Coachman shared that upon returning he informed Vince of four golf events he intended to attend and McMahon agreed to let him go to these instead of Raw. By the time the second event came around though, McMahon was furious and sought replacements for the broadcaster.
Jonathan Coachman Vows To Never Work For WWE Again After Doomed Run
Coachman parted ways with WWE in 2021, an act that also saw him leave the XFL that had been resurrected a year earlier but nixed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Coachman has claimed that he expected to be reimbursed by McMahon for his travel expenses but never was due to the XFL filing for bankruptcy.
Jax herself has yet to weigh in on her alleged hatred for Coachman, or that she worked to have him removed as a commentator on Raw. With The Coach vowing never to work with WWE, it’s unlikely the pair will cross paths again in a professional setting, which if Coachman is to be believed, is for the best.
