• Injured Wrestler Not Expected To Return At Royal Rumble 2020
According to Tom Colohue, former RAW Women’s Champion Nia Jax (who is currently out of action due to a double knee surgery) isn’t expected to return during the Women’s Royal Rumble 2020 match.
Nia is currently filming content for her return and her return could happen at WrestleMania 36:
“She has been recording some backstage WWE documentary stuff which is leading to her return which is expected to be moderately soon – probably not as soon as the Royal Rumble.
And I don’t think they will involve her in the build to WrestleMania either because there’ll be a lot of focus on the main stars.
However, I think a very realistic target for Nia Jax would be the Women’s WrestleMania Battle Royal. I think that would be a good place for her to return.
She could dominate that and potentially win it and that would be a good way to get her back in the system.”
