Nia Jax made her in-ring return on this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW in Dallas, TX at the American Airlines Center on the USA Network when she teamed with Ember Moon to defeat Mickie James and Alicia Fox in a tag team match. The reason for her absence was due to her being out of action with a leg injury.
Before this return, her last match came against Alexa Bliss for the RAW Women’s Title at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view event on the WWE Network where she was unsuccessful in regaining the title in an extreme rules match.
WWE’s YouTube channel has released this video of Cathy Kelley talking with Jax about her return where she noted that the fans welcomed her back with such a loud cheer, which warmed her heart to hear.
