Marvel: 4 WWE Superstars who could play the Wrecking Crew in the MCU
By Mark Lynch
Savelina “Nia Jax” Fanene as the MCU’s Piledriver
Nia Jax hasn’t been in the WWE that long. She kicked off her career in NXT in 2015. Her power made her a dominant force then and it continued after she left for Monday Night Raw.
At WrestleMania 34, Nia defeated her former friend Alexa Bliss to win her first WWE Women’s Championship. And after being sidelined by injuries, she has finally made her return to the squared circle. Her next opponent will be against the dominant and dangerous Asuka.
As time has gone on, Nia has become more than just a wrestler. Her appearances on E!’s Total Divas have catapulted her to stardom in the TV world. And she used this platform speak about things that mean a lot to her, among them body positivity. She’s made a point to speak up and let everyone know to love themselves no matter what other people may say, and she has also been one of the plus-sized models to walk down a runway during NY Fashion Week.
Why not add a woman to the Wrecking Crew? Oh don’t get this writer wrong; this wouldn’t be changing things up just for the sake of it… quite the opposite in fact. Nia Jax is a recognized face who’s played the villain for most of her short career. She could easily capture the personality of Piledriver.
Piledriver can be a bit of a jerk, even more so than the rest of the Wrecking Crew. Nia is more than capable of pulling this off because she’s been playing a character that has behaved exactly like that for years. Furthermore, she calls herself Irresistible Force for a reason. Superheroes or not, throwing the Avengers around like rag dolls would be nothing new to her.
