In a riveting turn of events, Nia Jax made a triumphant return to the WWE universe in the main event of the September 11 episode of WWE Raw, significantly impacting the showdown for the WWE Women’s World Championship between Rhea Ripley and Raquel Rodriguez.
The match itself was a rematch of their fierce encounter at WWE Payback, but with a notable difference: Dominik Mysterio, who had previously been at ringside, was banned from participating this time around. This change set the stage for a hard-hitting battle, and Rodriguez showcased her mettle as she more than held her own against the formidable Ripley, pushing the champion to her limits.

However, just when it seemed that Rodriguez had Ripley on the brink, the unexpected happened. Nia Jax made her sensational return, storming into the fray and launching an attack on Rodriguez. Jax’s interference proved pivotal as it allowed Ripley to secure the victory.
Following the match, Jax didn’t stop at assisting Ripley; she turned her attention towards the champion herself. In a brutal post-match assault, Jax left Ripley incapacitated, making a resounding statement upon her WWE return.
It’s worth noting that WWE fans last saw Nia Jax in November 2021 when she was released by the company. Her appearance in the 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble match was a brief one-off return. Since her WWE release, she had remained absent from in-ring action, except for one independent booking that ultimately did not come to fruition. Now, her dramatic return promises to shake up the women’s division once more.
