Natalya comments on the possibility of Nia Jax making a WWE return.
Nia Jax briefly returned at the 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble, entering the match at number 30 before being quickly eliminated from the match by the remaining women in the matchup.
Jax has said that the return reignited her passion for wrestling and has even teased a match with Rhea Ripley in the future.
In a new interview with Sportskeeda, Natalya was asked to comment on the potential of Jax making a come back to WWE.
“When I think about Nia Jax, she had such a great showing at this past Royal Rumble and so I think, she had a hiatus. Nobody ever wants to get let go from WWE and I remember when all of that happened, it was just a chaotic time in the world kind of during the height of the pandemic, but to see her wanting to get back into wrestling, wanting to get back to where it all began for her — Seeing her at the Royal Rumble, she seemed really happy, she seemed like she was in a great place and it made me happy for her because WWE, we are like a big family and when she left WWE, there was a lot of like — I think she did feel sad because she missed a lot of her friends and she loved performing and loving being able to do that. So if it’s something that she wants to do and she’s got the wrestling itch again, I think the Royal Rumble kind of gave her the wrestling itch a little bit.”

We will have to wait and see if we will see Jax back in WWE anytime soon, but reports have suggested that WWE are considering making a play for the former RAW Women’s Champion.
