#2 Nia Jax to return after almost a year

Former RAW Women's Champion Nia Jax has been out of action since WrestleMania 35. But the Superstar is all set to make her comeback right in time for this year's WrestleMania (hoping that the show will go on as planned).

Jax had to undergo surgery for ACL damage in both her knees, but is now cleared to make an in-ring return. Even though certain reports had stated that Nia Jax will be returning on SmackDown instead of RAW, Dave Meltzer of The Observer has put an end to those rumors and suggested that she will indeed return to the Red brand only.

With Jax's return, right around the corner, it is possible that she will make her return this week on RAW itself. Here is what Dave Meltzer has stated:

Nia Jax has been medically cleared to return after reconstructive surgery on both knees. It’s just a question of when they want to start her back and where. Right now she’s earmarked for Raw, and not Smackdown as has been reported in many places
