WWE Raw video highlights: Nia Jax returns

Though Dominik Mysterio was banned from ringside, that didn’t stop there from being interference in the main event of last night’s Raw.

Nia Jax made her surprise return to WWE by getting involved in Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Rodriguez for the Women’s World Championship. Rodriguez gave Ripley a Tejana Bomb on the apron and then rolled Ripley back into the ring. As the referee was checking on Ripley, Jax ambushed Rodriguez and laid her out with a Samoan Drop on the floor. 

Ripley then hit Riptide on Rodriguez in the ring to retain the Women’s World Championship.

But Jax wasn’t there to help Ripley. She headbutted Ripley after the match, hit a leg drop, and then crashed onto Ripley with a Banzai Drop.

Jax was released by WWE in November 2021.  This January, she returned as an entrant in the 2023 women’s Royal Rumble match. WWE Shop released a new T-shirt for Jax following that appearance, but she wasn’t on WWE television again until last night.

Ripley hit Riptide on Jax prior to Jax’s elimination in the women’s Royal Rumble. Jax now looks to have her sights set on taking the Women’s World Championship from Ripley.
