4. It’s Great To Have Nia Jax Back

The rise of Nia Jax in 2018 has been a great sight to see after waiting to finally see a breakthrough.  The Irresistible Force grabbed the brass ring, so to speak, when she captured the Raw Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 34 and kept the title for a couple months before losing it via a Money in the Bank cash-in by Alexa Bliss.

Jax got her rematch at Extreme Rules, but after failing to recapture the gold, she took a bit of time away from the WWE.  She was taking part in non-wrestling events and many wondered when she would come back, but last week on Raw, she came back to team with Ember Moon in a tag team match they would eventually win.

Last night saw The Irresistible Force go one-on-one with Alicia Fox and surprisingly enough, Fox got in a decent amount of offense.  It would ultimately not be enough, however, and Jax ended up taking care of Fox to get the win with Moon celebrating in her corner.  This could be the starting point in Jax getting back to the Raw Women’s Championship level.

There’s still no telling how long it will take for her to make it back to the Raw Women’s Championship, but it’s at least possible now that she is back.  Jax adds a lot to the Raw women’s division, and she has proven to be a valuable commodity to the WWE this year.  Her partnership with Moon could lead to something positive in its own right.

The Irresistible Force is back and the women’s division on Monday nights has ratcheted up with her return.
