Nia Jax Returns To WWE Last Night On RAW
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.

Fallout from SummerSlam
Michael Cole and Wade Barrett officially join the show as the new commentary team going forward.
PWInsider reports that former Impact and NWA World Champion Nick Aldis is in Minneapolis for tonight’s episode of WWE RAW. According to the report, Aldis is being brought in for a producer role, which was what the company was rumored to be interested in him for. He will be at several TV tapings going forward.
As of this writing, WWE has not advertised matches or segments for tonight’s Raw. However, it is expected the company will also begin to build to Payback, which takes place at the PPG Paints Arena on September 2 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
WWE Shakes Up Commentary Teams, Michael Cole To Call Both Raw And SmackDown
WWE has played host to many iconic commentators in its long history, but at this point there may be no announcer more closely tied to WWE than Michael Cole. That’s despite Cole’s work often being divisive among WWE fans over the course of his now 25-plus-year tenure with the company. No matter how one feels about Cole, audiences should get ready to hear a lot more of him as a result of WWE’s latest commentary team shake-up.
As reported by Variety, Cole and current “WWE SmackDown” broadcast partner Wade Barrett are set to make the jump to “WWE Raw,” while current “Raw” announce team Kevin Patrick and Corey Graves are swapped over to “SmackDown.” However, rather than a straight-up trade, Cole will also remain part of the “SmackDown” team, working alongside Graves and Patrick.
The commentary team changes take effect this coming Monday, August 7. For now, it does not appear any changes have been made to the planned announcers for tonight’s SummerSlam premium live event. Most PLEs have been called by Cole and Graves since Triple H became Chief Creative Officer, with few exceptions. According to Variety’s sources, this move is not a sign WWE has lost confidence in Patrick, and they feel working with Cole will be to his benefit.
