Nia Jax is back with WWE after making her return to programming during last night’s episode of Monday Night RAW.
This week’s edition of RAW saw WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley put her title on the line against Raquel Rodriguez, who was pulled off of the ring apron by the returning Jax.
This allowed Ripley to get the win, but the Women’s World Champion was attacked by Jax after the match, with the Irresistible Force standing over Ripley to end the show.
Jax was released from WWE in 2021 and made a one-off appearance for WWE during this year’s Women’s Royal Rumble match.
Fightful Select is reporting that Jax signed with WWE over a month ago after the company’s hiring freeze concluded in the summer.
Jax is WWE’s first main roster signing since Vince McMahon’s return to the company earlier in January.
Endeavor’s acquisition of WWE is unrelated to Nia’s return, and several people in the company expected to see her sooner.
