Nia Jax is laughing off the hate she receives from WWE fans following her return to the company.

It was nearly two years ago in November 2021 when Nia Jax was released from her WWE contract.

During her WWE career, Jax spent most of her time as a heel. She actually won the Raw Women’s Title as a babyface and she was also a two-time Women’s Tag Team Champion with Shayna Baszler.

At the 2023 Royal Rumble in January, Nia Jax was a surprise entrant in the Women’s Royal Rumble match in the #30 spot. Jax eliminated zero women from the match, but it did take about 11 women to eliminate her from the match. Jax lasted a total of 1:57 in the match.

Following that Royal Rumble appearance, there were rumors that Jax would return to WWE, but it didn’t happen soon after. It happened this past Monday on the September 11th edition of Raw.

Nia Jax attacked Raquel Rodriguez and Rhea Ripley on Raw

The main event of the September 11th edition of Raw saw Rhea Ripley successfully defend the Women’s World Title against Raquel Rodriguez because of Jax doing a cheap attack on Rodriguez. Ripley capitalized on it by hitting the Riptide for the win.

After the match, Jax attacked Ripley as well and left the Women’s World Champion laying on the mat. Raw ended with Jax blowing kisses to the crowd as the fans booed her.

On Twitter/X, Jax seemed to enjoy the hate she received by posting this comment.

Part of the reason that some fans really don’t like Jax is due to instances in the past where she injured other wrestlers in matches. Fans also recall moments when Jax shouted things like “MY HOLE” when taking a bump on the ring apron as a silly thing to do.

Whether they love her or hate her, WWE fans will have to tune in to Monday’s Raw to find out what’s next for Nia Jax following her return to WWE.
