5 Former WWE Champions who could miss WrestleMania 36

#2 Nia Jax

Nia Jax

In April last year at WrestleMania 35, Nia Jax along with tag team partner Tamina competed in a Fatal Four-Way Women's Tag Team Championship match. The match was won by The IIconics (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce).

Soon after the match, it was announced that Jax had suffered anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears on both of her knees and she was forced to undergo surgery to repair the damage.

The surgery required her to spend nine months away from the ring, and now that almost a year has passed, it seems like she is ready to return to the ring whenever the company wants to put her in a rivalry.

Apart from that, even Paige has her intentions of managing Jax very clear, but it seems like the company isn’t ready to bring back the former RAW Women’s Champion just yet.

With that in mind, it seems unlikely that the company will plan to bring back Jax and enter her in a feud immediately before WrestleMania. Instead, we could watch The Irresistible Force return on the RAW after WrestleMania and possibly go after someone like Becky Lynch or the RAW Women’s Champion at the time.

Or maybe she will unite with Paige and return on SmackDown sooner than later and start building towards a feud post-WrestleMania.
