As noted earlier at this link, WWE issued a storyline update today noting that they are reviewing the conduct of Nia Jax and referee John Cone after the controversial finish in Jax’s loss to RAW Women’s Champion Asuka this past Monday night. Cone also issued comments and said he did not think it was a fast count. The pin came as Cone was about to disqualify Jax for putting hands on him.
Jax took to Twitter this afternoon and responded to WWE’s announcement.
“What a punk! [pouting face emoji],” she wrote.
Jax also said Cone needs to learn how to referee.
She added in a follow-up tweet, “Dear John, Learn how to do your job! Sincerely, Me”
Speculation is that this finish and the double count out at Backlash will lead to some sort of stipulation match between Jax and Asuka at WWE Extreme Rules on July 19.
Stay tuned for updates. Below are the full tweets from Jax:
