Backstage Reaction To Nia Jax's WWE Return
Nia Jax made her shock WWE return back in September.
Having been back in WWE full-time for two months, there's now an update on how Nia Jax's return to the company has been viewed by some of those within WWE.
Per Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select during a recent Q&A, Jax's WWE return initially received "a couple of eye rolls" from talent. Since then, at least one of the names Sapp spoke to has praised Nia for her work, that nobody has gotten hurt, and that the former Raw Women's Champion has got herself in better shape.
Previously, Jax rightly or wrongly had the reputation of being somewhat unsafe at times, with notable incidents seeing her famously bloody Becky Lynch ahead of the 2018 Survivor Series, then brutally bust open Kairi Sane in 2020 after launching the Pirate Princess into the ring steps.
Having been with WWE since 2014, that first run came to an end when Nia was released in November 2021. The powerhouse made a surprise appearance in the women's Royal Rumble earlier this year, before later fully returning to the fold in September by attacking Raquel Rodriguez and Rhea Ripley on an episode of Raw.
