Nia Jax made a surprising comeback as an unanticipated participant in the Women’s Royal Rumble match. Entering as the 30th entrant, she amazed the crowd at the Alamodome and emphasized her previous status as a WWE RAW Women’s Champion.
Several women had to work together in order to remove Jax from the match, causing fans to express relief that she was eliminated, as they were afraid she might win the entire match.
While speaking during a virtual signing hosted by East Coast Autograph Auctions, Nia Jax talked about her appearance during the 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble match and looked back on it.
“I’m glad it was a surprise for everybody (2023 Royal Rumble appearance). I was actually really happy that people remembered me. I was nervous right before I walked out like, what if nobody remembers me? And I walked out in the Rumble and it’s dead air.
No comment (she said when asked why her music played before the timer hit zero). I can’t say. I know, but I can’t say. But let’s just say somebody was super excited for me to be back and prematurely hit my music. But they were really happy I was back. Let’s say that. But that’s all I’m gonna say (she smiled). They (some fans) were hoping it was more of a permanent thing… I almost cried myself. I was nervous, a nervous wreck.”

It was previously reported that Nia Jax’s return was a one-off appearance and even now, Jax has yet to sign any sort of contract with WWE. Regardless, we’ll have to see if Jax will return to WWE again one day.
