Nia Jax Returns To WWE SmackDown Following First Time Bout Between Tiffany Stratton And Jade Cargill

Nia Jax is back, and she's still targeting Tiffany Stratton and the WWE Women's Championship.

On the April 25 episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown, Nia Jax attacked Tiffany Stratton from behind and squashed her with an AnNiahilator. However, before that attack, the WWE Universe was treated to a first-time match between Tiffany Stratton, the reigning WWE Women's Champion, and Jade Cargill, a former AEW TBS Champion riding the wave of momentum after her first singles victory on a WWE PLE from WrestleMania 41.

However, Jade was perhaps too quick to move on from Naomi and all the drama that preceded WWE WrestleMania, as before Nia Jax attacked Tiffany, Naomi had attacked Jade Cargill, resulting in a no-contest match. She would throw Jade into the steel ring post and then stare down with the current WWE women's champion before exiting the ring, giving Jax the opening to strike Tiffany from behind.

Nia Jax had not been seen in a match on WWE TV since WWE Elimination Chamber when she teamed with Candice LeRae against Tiffany Stratton and Trish Stratus.
