Nia Jax has returned to Monday Night Raw after a long recovery from injury.
The former Raw Women’s Champion appeared on the April 6 episode of Raw, defeating Deonna Purrazzo in a quick match. This was Jax’s first win on WWE programming since March 2019 when she picked up a victory over Natalya by DQ.

Jax was reportedly medically cleared in March after undergoing double ACL surgery in April 2019. She last wrestled at WrestleMania 35, teaming with Tamina and losing to The IIconics in a fatal four-way Women’s Tag Team Title bout that also featured Beth Phoenix & Natalya and Sasha Banks & Bayley.
Jax was also recently in the news after she tweeted at Killer Kross regarding a tweet he made about Liv Morgan’s WrestleMania 36 gear. You can find out more here.
