Why has Nia Jax returned to WWE? This is the only question in the minds of the fans after what happened on the last episode of Monday night RAW. It was the final RAW episode of the McMahon era in WWE, and it ended with a shocker as Jax made her return and took out the Women’s World Champion, Rhea Ripley.
Rhea defended her Women’s World Championship in the main event of the night against Raquel Rodriguez. ‘Dirty’ Dominik Mysterio was banned from ringside, forcing Rhea to bring her ‘A’ game to the table. After Rhea registered a hard-fought win, Nia Jax, who returned to WWE, surprisingly took her out.

Fans have been wondering about the reason why Nia Jax came back to WWE last night. Here are the potential reasons behind it.
Lack of depth on women’s roster might be the reason why Nia Jax is back in WWE
With the departure of Ronda Rousey and injuries to Liv Morgan and Sonya Deville, coupled by pregnancies of Alexa Bliss and Carmella, the RAW Women’s Division has become quite thin. Even Shayna Baszler, Zoey Stark, Piper Niven and Chelsea Green have moved to the tag team division, whereas Trish Stratus and Lita have disappeared.
Becky Lynch has shifted her attention to the NXT brand, where she will challenge Tiffany Stratton for the NXT Women’s Championship today. As a result, the RAW women’s division needed some firepower, and WWE have called Nia Jax back for the same reason.

Jax is a popular female star, and considering her move set and experience, a lot more fans will be interested in watching a feud between Rhea Ripley and Jax. The match between Rhea and Nia should happen at the Fastlane premium live event on October 7. It could also be a triple threat match, featuring Raquel Rodriguez.
