On the September 11 episode of WWE RAW, Nia Jax returned to the promotion when she attacked Raquel Rodriguez and WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley.
Jax had previously been released by the company in 2021.
Jax reflected on her return and how it came about when appearing on WWE After The Bell.
“I started watching the product again to see how things were going. There was so much new talent I could work with. Hearing the reaction at the Rumble, knowing people still remember the Nia Jax character, I was like, ‘I wonder if my character could help any of these new girls.’ I’m not saying I’m some guru, but I know that Nia Jax is a great heel. I believe that every babyface needs an incredible heel to feed off of. I thought, ‘a good monster heel could be needed at the moment.’ I remember I was talking to Sara Amato because she was my coach at NXT and she was like, ‘You look great, you look incredible. You’re made for wrestling. You should try again.’ ‘Really? I would love to, but I’m not sure.’ She was like, ‘Just text Hunter. Text him.’ I texted Hunter, ‘Hey, I was wondering if you had a spot for me to come back.’ Like two minutes later he was like, ‘Yeah, let’s talk. Let’s chat soon.’ It snowballed from there. I didn’t really know when I was going to return, we just chatted about a possible time because he’s so incredibly busy. Nobody knew when it was going to be. Possibly SummerSlam, after SummerSlam, we didn’t know. Finally, I got the call, ‘Hey, you’re needed.”
