As reported by PWInsider.com, Nia Jax is expected back in the WWE, anytime now.
“She is medically cleared to return to performing and it’s just a matter of the company working her back into storylines.”
On this related note, the source also mentioned that the former WWE Raw superstar was listed to make an appearance on Smackdown, instead. In addition, Nia Jax will also be present during the upcoming taping of the show on Friday night,
“The word making the rounds at Raw last night was that Nia would be part of the SmackDown brand when she returned and that she would be at this week’s TV taping.”
However, it does not confirm the fact that Nia Jax will eventually show up, on TV or will stay backstage just like Jeff Hardy did for the past couple of weeks. The Undertaker was also present backstage on WWE Raw on this past edition but did not come out in front of the audience. There’s no confirmation whether the Irresistible Force will also have to sit out of the competition.
On a related note, Paige is coming back to confront the Smackdown women’s champion, Bayley. It is being speculated that she herself will be challenging the champion in a match at Wrestlemania 36. Rather, the angle could play out in a way where Paige shows up only to introduce Nia Jax as the one who would compete against Bayley for the title.
