Nia Jax is back in WWE.
Nia Jax made her return to WWE on the September 11 Monday Night Raw, attacking Raquel Rodriguez and Rhea Ripley. Fightful Select had noted on recent shows that we'd heard she was headed back to the company, and we're told she's been signed over a month, and that the hiring freeze effectively was ended this summer.
She's the first signing that was made since Vince McMahon forced his way back into the company that returned on Main Roster TV. The Endeavor-WWE merger is happening this week, but we're told it's unrelated to her popping up on TV. Several within the company actually thought she'd return before this.
Nia had been released in 2021, and didn't wrestle anywhere else outside of WWE, though she was scheduled for one indie date.
We've not yet heard terms of the deal, as those are being kept quiet.
