WWE Superstar Nia Jax and impressive youngster Lash Legend are the current WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, and while these ‘Unstoppable Forces’ will have to defend their belts against a top three tag team at WrestleMania 42 – it would be foolish to bet on them in Sin City. They talked to these powerful women M&F Hers tell how their different paths converged to create an unstoppable perspective.
“I think we’re going to mix seamlessly,” Nia Jax (real name: Savelina Fanene) says when the two sit down for a chat before chaos inevitably ensues at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas. “I’m getting a cheat code,” adds Lash Legend, aware of the incredible career his tag team partner has already carved for himself. Of course, Jax’s hard-earned accomplishments include two WWE World Titles, and he certainly has the golden touch, as this relatively new team has already captured the tag team championships. This particular reign marks Jax’s third run with the tag titles for those keeping count. But in addition to her successes in the ring, Jax also made a bold transformation with her fitness journey, and her fans were deeply inspired by her body transformation, celebrating how Nia Jax was able to cut weight while destroying her opponents in the ring.
Nia Jax’s Body Transformation: How She Lost Weight Without Losing Power
While cutting back on your calorie intake may seem simple in practice, it’s not always easy to achieve when you’re running from city to city trying to recover from the wear and tear of your quadriceps. “I’m fasting,” Jax says with M&F Hers, just one of the ways he changes his routine. For many, limiting the window of food intake helps avoid those regrettable late-night snacksa common trap for traveling wrestlers. Jax also says he’s relying more on carbs than protein these days to make those calories count for muscle recovery and maintenance. “I’m more than one carnivorous diet– explains the famous wrestler. – And I increased my weight lifting a lot.
In fact, in 2026, Nia Jax is in her best fighting form. But his positive fitness decision was only possible because of a change in mindset,” he says. “It’s a beautiful thing, because I feel like before, my mind wasn’t right, and (now it’s about) having good people around me, to make my mind right, to listen to my body. And now, it’s just flowing”
Lash Legend goes from NCAA Record Holder to WWE Champion
Jax’s tag partner, Lash Legend (real name: Anriel Howard) is a decorated college basketball player who became the first player in Texas A&M history to grab over 1,000 career rebounds with the team, 1,002 to be exact. He also set an NCAA Tournament record with 27 tackles in a 2016 NCAA Tournament game. Both of these Invincibles make a formidable presence at 6 feet tall, so Legend is certainly not a weak link on this team. “Of course, I want a young, strong, record-breaking athlete on the side,” jokes Jax.
While Legend Lash lacks the professional wrestling experience of his iconic partner, he was able to motivate Nia Jax due to his status as an elite athlete. “I’ve been very fortunate to be in this group where I feel like life has become a lot easier and I can have that time to focus on my fitness,” Jacks told M&F. And, the respect is evident within this dominant team, who won the titles on the February 27 edition of SmackDown by defeating Rhea Ripley and Yes Sky. “I feel like Nia is very grounded. When you have that good, solid foundation, it helps in all aspects of your life,” confirms Legend. “I think we help each other, I mean she really helps me,” adds the excited newcomer, who is sure to benefit from Nia Jax’s experience in a WWE ring. For his part, Jax says the new partner is a source of inspiration. “He motivates me,” he tells M&F Hers, while extolling Legend’s skills. “She keeps me young.”
Why mindfulness is the real key to fat loss and muscle retention
Nia Jax goes first for the fitness journey we should all embark on, tapping into The Force Awakens. “I really believe it all comes back to you being on top,” the WWE Superstar offers. “If you’re not good mentally, it really translates to your body because your body listens to what you’re saying about yourself. That’s my advice to get your mind right.”
Keeping it that way, Lesh Legend says he likes to look to the Earth, not artificial food or gimmicks, for sustainable profits. “I think we’re both in favor of that,” says the fit woman. “Everything we need to stay in shape is already here.”
The Invincibles will defend the WWE Tag Team Championship in a deadly match against Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss, Bayley and Lyra Valkyrie and The Bella Twins.
WrestleMania 42 will air on ESPN on April 18 and 19, 2026 from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Netflix UK and Ireland subscribers can watch WrestleMania 42, Raw, SmackDown, NXT and all WWE Premium Live events as part of their subscription.
