Savelina Fanene is a wrestling professional from the USA. She is currently working under WWE, where she goes by the stage name Nia Jax and performs under the RAW brand. She was previously the RAW Women’s Champion once and the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion twice.
In the headliner of Monday Night RAW, Rhea Ripley faced Raquel Rodriguez to retain her Women’s World title. Jax made an unexpected comeback to WWE in the closing seconds of the contest, striking Rodriguez while the referee was occupied.

Due to the commotion Nia Jax caused, Rhea Ripley defeated Raquel Rodriguez to successfully defend her title. In the end, Ripley profited from her return. However, The Eradicator was later trod upon and eliminated by Nia Jax during the same event.
Nia Jax has been signed for over a month, I’m told.
She’s the first signing that was made since Vince McMahon forced his way back into the company that returned on Main Roster TV
We’ll have more on Fightful Select

Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp provided a ton of information on Nia’s reappearance. In one of its most recent broadcasts, Fightful Select pointed out that Jax was heading back to the firm.
They were informed that the employment moratorium had ended this summer and that Jax had been signed for more than a month. It’s intriguing to note that after Vince McMahon returned to WWE, Jax was the first person to be signed and advance to the main roster.
Additionally, reports highlight that the 39-year-old’s return is unrelated to the upcoming merger between the Endeavor Group and WWE. According to reports, WWE’s hiring moratorium, which has been in effect since the beginning of the year, has also been lifted. Many Stamford-based promotion employees apparently anticipated her return before this Monday.
When Did WWE Fire Nia Jax?
WWE fired Nia Jax in the latter part of 2021. For some time owing to real reasons, Nia Jax was cut off from WWE. She was unhappy that the business had let her go after she requested extra time for her psychiatric break and was upset that she had been dismissed under questionable circumstances.
Jax has mostly shied away from professional wrestling during her break. She made an entrance in the Women’s Royal Rumble battle earlier this year, where she arrived at the number 30 spot and was knocked out by an alliance of women.
Jax reportedly trained with Charlotte and her husband, Andrade. Also, Natalya and her husband, TJ Wilson, when she was away from WWE.
Now that Jax is back on WWE TV, it will be fascinating to watch how the audience reacts to her. When she was a part of the company before, she quite agitated the audience.
