Backstage Update On Nia Jax's WWE Status
Where has 'The Irresistible Force' been?
Pushed strongly throughout much of 2018, Nia Jax has faded into the background in WWE lately, having vanished from television altogether in recent weeks.
PW Insider claim that the former Raw Women's Champion was at the Performance Center for physical therapy on an injured leg this week, giving Jax an indefinite return date.
The same source reported that Nia was dealing with a leg issue last month, but the wrestler herself has noted that while she has spent time "rehabbing," she isn't injured.
Jax hasn't wrestled since a Raw house show on 22 July. Her last televised bout came against Alexa Bliss at Extreme Rules 2018, where she was unsuccessful in reclaiming the Raw Women's Championship she lost to 'The Goddess' at Money In The Bank, resulting in her complete removal from programming.
With Nia recently talking up the prospect of facing Beth Phoenix at Evolution (28 October), it likely won't be long before we see her thrown back into the mix. Still, there's no obvious place for her in the title picture at the moment, and WWE may choose not to bring her back until they've concocted a suitable storyline.
