Nia Jax
On the night after WrestleMania 36, Nia Jax finally made her return to in-ring competition for the first time in almost nine months. She comprehensively defeated Deonna Purrazzo in a squash match and also introduced a new finisher for herself.

Being as controversial as she is, Nia Jax is no stranger to using the heel heat that she has generated in the past two years or so. As a matter of fact, in 2018, Jax was involved in another controversial angle when she punched Becky Lynch on the go-home episode of Survivor Series and gave her a black eye. The injury forced Becky to pull-out on a highly-anticipated clash against Ronda Rousey.

Now for those who expected an apology from the former RAW Women's Champion clearly had no idea regarding Jax's on-screen character in WWE, as she went on to embrace the hate and used it to her advantage in order to create quite the buzz around herself.
In another one of her recent matches on RAW, Jax was heavily criticized for dropping Kairi Sane in a rather unsafe manner. For someone who has now been known for adapting under critical circumstances, Jax once again decided to use the heat to her advantage.
However, on this occasion, things were different, as Nia Jax didn't have the WWE Universe react to her and instead, all the heat was from the social media audience. At this point, if there's anyone who would happily accept the WWE Universe's heat, it's definitely Nia Jax.
