Nia Jax returned to WWE on the September 11 episode of WWE Raw, sitting her sights on Raquel Rodriguez and Rhea Ripley.
Jax has always been the monster heel in WWE, towering over the majority of the women in the roster. Since her release in 2021, the roster has changed with the likes of Rodriguez, Ripley, Piper Niven, and Jade Cargill stepping into bigger role or signing with the company.
All four women can match size and strength with Jax, leading to new possibilities for Nia.
"That's what got me super excited. Back when I first tried out, I was always the bigger girl. Seeing the roster, how cool would it be to be part of this big powerhouse roster? Coming from a different era, this is a new era, I'm going to have to change my entire way of working. It's going to challenge me mentally, it's a mental exercise. Rhea, I got to work her once before I got released. Getting in there and having a little taste, she was the first person who ever made me bleed in the ring, it was super cool. 'No one makes me bleed my own blood,' I said that to her in the ring and she popped. Rhea Ripley is insane, I love everything about her. She is such a powerhouse, Raquel as well. There are so many places me and Raquel could go. We had our match last week and it's just a taste of what we can do. I watched Bam Bam Bigelow going off the top rope and doing some crazy shit, being as big as he was, 300-something pounds, and he floated around. Bossman and him would put on crazy matches. These two huge powerhouses and you're like, 'Wait, big people can do that?' Now, I'm like, 'Ohh, I can do these things. I'm excited about it. Jade coming into the mix, you look at her, and she looks like a superhero. 'What can we do with this? We can make the crowd go nuts for this stuff.' That's where my mind goes with this new roster. I'm so excited," she said on WWE After The Bell.
Nia will step in the ring with Ripley, Rodriguez, Shayna Baszler, and Zoey Stark in a five-way bout for the WWE Women's World Championship at WWE Crown Jewel.
