As was noted earlier, there are a lot of names in San Antonio this weekend. Some are there for non-WWE appearances and a few are there because there are plans for them to appear tonight at the Royal Rumble PLE.
One name that has been rumored for tonight is Nia Jax. PWInsider reported that several people backstage expect Jax to return in the women’s Rumble match tonight. That is not confirmed but apparently, that’s the word that is going around.
Jax was released by WWE in 2021 and she later stated that it was because she refused to get vaccinated against COVID-19. The former Raw Women’s Champion hasn’t done much in wrestling since her release and as recently as of a couple of weeks ago, she shot down the idea of returning. In response to a fan who asked if she would wrestle again, she posted a meme that said, “Sorry, Wrong Number.” Of course, no one expects her to confirm anything if she’s coming back as a surprise.
