Nia Jax has been back in front of the cameras, recording footage ahead of her expected return to action in WWE.

The following still comes from a Boomerang uploaded to 'The Irresistible Force's' Instagram story yesterday:-

That there's a wrestling ring in the background has led to speculation that whatever Nia was filming could be for a WWE documentary or even a return vignette, as suggested by Cageside Seats' daily Rumor Roundup column.

Jax was sidelined by two devastating anterior cruciate ligament tears last April. She required surgery on both and the initial reports suggested she'd need at least nine months of recovery time, so today's speculation falls in line with that. On top of this, controversial wrestling journalist Brad Shepard has continually asserted that Nia will be cleared to return in Q1 2020, though the former Raw Women's Champion has denied this.

Perhaps a surprise Royal Rumble appearance could be in the 35-year-old's future? Jax played a big role in last year's event, lasting 11 minutes in the women's bout before shockingly entering the men's contest, eliminating Mustafa Ali prior to Dolph Ziggler, Rey Mysterio, and Randy Orton taking her out.
