Nia Jax reunites with former WWE Superstar three years after release
Nia Jax recently shared a social media update, marking her reunion with a former WWE Superstar. The name in question, Mojo Rawley, exited the Stamford-based promotion three years ago.
The former WWE 24/7 Champion signed with the global juggernaut in 2012. He spent a few years in the company's developmental brand before getting drafted to the main roster in 2016. Unfortunately, amid his absence from television for nearly 10 months, Rawley was released from his contract in April 2021.
Nia Jax has often talked about her friendship with Mojo Rawley even after he departed from WWE. Earlier today, The Irresistible Force took to her Instagram account to share a hilarious reel featuring herself alongside the 38-year-old.

Wrestling veteran pitches an interesting ending to Nia Jax's upcoming WWE match
Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell pitched a unique ending to a match featuring the Women's Champion set for the September 20, edition of Friday Night SmackDown.
On the season premiere of the blue brand's show, Bayley continued her feud with Nia Jax and Tiffanny Stratton. The inaugural Women's Grand Slam Champion will team up with Naomi to take on the team of Jax and Stratton next week. The woman who scores the pinfall will challenge the WWE Women's Champion for the title. In addition, if the babyfaces lose, the superstar who gets pinned will have to leave the blue brand.
While speaking about the potential result of the upcoming tag team match, Dutch Mantell pitched that fan votes should pick the challenger after Naomi and Bayley both pin the champion to secure the win. The veteran added that he was not interested in watching Bayley and Nia Jax battle it out one more time. He also showed his lack of interest in a potential Triple Threat match.
"What if they had a double pin, both of them on top of Nia [Jax] or Tiffany [Stratton], and they get one-two-three? So who gets the win? Then put it up to fan votes and just throw it out there. Involve the fans in this and have one winner, and you see where the support is... Bayley vs. Nia Two is boring. They’ve already done it. What else are they gonna do? And the Triple Threat, we have seen it 15000 times, if not more," he said. [From 1:01:35 onwards]
With Bayley and Naomi chasing another title win, it remains to be seen how they will work as a team to overcome Jax and Stratton.
