7 WWE Raw Returns That Happened Last Night

5. Nia Jax

She's not like most girls, but she is like many other talents if recently reported locker room discord is to be believed.

Various outlets suggested that Nia Jax's October sabbatical was down to dissatisfaction with her character and overall trajectory on Raw's p*ss-poor women's division. Regardless of her talents (or lack thereof), it was easy to sympathise.

Jax has flitted between unstoppable monster, idiot lackey and beatable beast with much elasticity that the aura carefully curated in NXT to mask her gaping technical flaws has been all-but obliterated.

As the woman that has routinely dragged the best match out of her fellow Full Sail survivor, Bayley was again tasked with helping WWE hit restart on their latest charge with Nia. It was loss yet again detrimental to the 'Hugger', not least after useless Team Captain Alicia Fox named Jax as a member of her Raw Survivor Series side without affording the former Women's Champion a similar offer.
