WWE aired its September 11 RAW episode from Norfolk, Virginia, and it is one of the most historic shows in the history of the Stamford-based promotion. This week’s show marked the end of an era, as it was the last show under the supreme ownership of Vince McMahon.
As announced earlier this year, the Triple H-led promotion has been acquired by Endeavor, and with this merger, Vince will no longer have the role he had been performing for decades. Now that RAW’s final episode in the McMahon Era is in the history books, the product is probably going to go through major changes.
However, WWE’s Executive Chairman has left a major mark on the company before Endeavor’s Takeover. In a surprising turn of events on this week’s RAW, the possible next member of The Bloodline made a return, and people believe that it’s all because of Mr. McMahon. The returning star was none other than Nia Jax.

Claiming that Nia’s return was the last evil thing Vince could have done, a fan from the audience said, “Vince McMahon did one last evil deed.” “God bless women’s division i can see lot of injuries,” someone wrote while referring to Nia’s past record of injuring her opponents. (Via: X)
Now that Nia has made her return to the Stamford-based promotion, it’s a possibility that Jax could be joining The Bloodline. But as most of her Samoan mates are on SmackDown, it seems more like a far stretched story. It’ll be interesting to see how she’ll be handled, and also how well she fares in this run.
Why did Nia Jax leave WWE?
Nia Jax’s return on this week’s Monday Night RAW was her first appearance after entering 2023’s Royal Rumble match. But appearing in this year’s Royal Rumble was just a one-off thing, as she’s not been under contract with the Stamford-based promotion since her shocking release from WWE back in 2021.
As the 3-time Women’s Champion‘s exit was unexpected, a lot of speculation was made about the reasons behind it. But the real reason that led to Nia’s departure was revealed by herself during a conversation on “The Sessions.”
During her interview with Rene Paquette, Jax claimed that she was released from the Triple H-led promotion because she refused to get her vaccination against the COVID-19 disease. She said, “I stood my ground on certain things that I know that they weren’t happy about. I was choosing not to go and get the vaccine. It was a personal choice.”
Her previous stint with the company may not have ended that well, but it’s great that she’s finally back in the Stamford-based promotion. It was previously reported that Nia Jax could be returning at Payback, but it didn’t happen. However, her return to the red brand has given a fresh air to WWE’s women division, which hasn’t at its best from a long time.
