Jax is a former Raw Women’s Champion and two-time WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion.
She hadn’t appeared for the WWE since her exit in November 2021.
At this week’s Raw, Jax made her surprising return, and reports are that she’s signed a new contract.
Jax was signed by WWE over a month ago, with sources saying she’s expected to return on upcoming shows, per Fightful Select.
The former champion popped up in the main event Monday, interrupting the Women’s World Championship match involving Rhea Ripley and Raquel Rodriguez.
After their fight, Jax headbutted Ripley and landed a drop leg.
Jax seems committed to going after the elusive Women’s World title.
While she was away, Jax reportedly trained with Natalya and her husband, TJ Wilson, as well as Charlotte and her husband, Andrade.
On the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, the WWE put out a post celebrating her return, which had mixed reactions.
The company captioned the post, “Nia Jax is back.”
One fan asked: “Why?”
A second said: “Good! Welcome back.”
With another questioning: “Who asked for this?”
Whether people like it or not, The Irresistible Force is back.
