Former Raw Women’s Champion Nia Jax made her return to WWE television on this week’s Monday Night Raw, competing in her first match since WrestleMania 35 in April 2019. After failing to win the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships with Tamina, Jax underwent surgery to repair tears in both of her ACLs. Her original recovery time was set for nine months, and in the past few weeks she had been teasing a comeback.
