Going by the tradition, the post-Wrestlemania edition of WWE Raw always remains a memorable one where we can expect surprise appearances, returns of debuts. Despite limited arrangements amid coronavirus outbreak, WWE managed to produce some of them on last April 6th episode of the show that was taped much earlier at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.

Nia Jax made her return to the ring on the post-WrestleMania 36 edition of WWE RAW which took place without an audience. The former WWE Raw women’s champion dominated WWE NXT Superstar Deonna Purrazzo in her comeback match and got an easy win after hitting her opponent with a Samoan Drop, then a DDT. It appeared to be her first match in almost a year.
Her path to victory's infinite, and @DeonnaPurrazzo just found that out first-hand.

Paige, who is a good friend of Nia Jax, took to Twitter after the match and commented on allowing Jax to use this DDT as her new finisher. Previously, Paige used to perform this as the Ram-paige maneuver.
“You never use another persons finishing move unless it is given to you. I gave it to @NiaJaxWWE and she just killed it. I have chills. Proud moment [red heart emoji] @WWE,” Paige wrote.

The irresistible force is out of action from WWE Raw since April 2019 as she had to undergo double knee surgery on April 25 of last year. She recovered ahead of schedule and was rumored to return at the 2020 Royal Rumble pay-per-view, earlier this year.
Once that passed by, she was rumored to come back in early March that she had been cleared to return. The 3rd annual WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal at WrestleMania 36 this past weekend was also speculated to witness her comeback. But the Battle Royal was scrapped due to the coronavirus pandemic.
WWE NXT Superstars Denzel Dejournette, Brendan Vink, Oney Lorcan, and Danny Burch also worked on the post-WrestleMania 36 edition of WWE RAW at the empty PC in Orlando, Florida. While the latter duo competed in a tag team action, the other two featured in a singles contest against Seth Rollins and Humberto Carrillo.
WWE NXT Superstar Bianca BeLair also debuted on last night’s episode of WWE Raw. She helped her husband Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins to pick up a win over Austin Theory and Angel Garza in mixed tag team match which also featured Zelina Vega.
