6 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 6 we hope aren't: 3-time World Champion possibly retiring at WrestleMania 36, Returning star expected to eliminate Lesnar at Royal Rumble

#3. Hope isn't true: Injured star not ready for Royal Rumble return

Unfortunate reports have emerged

Absence makes the heart grow fonder and that has certainly been the case with Nia Jax. According to Tom Colohue, Jax isn't going to return at the Royal Rumble as many have suggested. The woman who entered at #30 for the Men's Royal Rumble last year won't make her presence known.

Colohue believes that she'll be put on the sidelines for the entirety of the WrestleMania season.

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.

We hope this isn't true because Jax would be a great addition to the Women's Royal Rumble match. She would be one of the most dominant competitors in the match and be perfect to put over the person that eventually wins. However, we'll have to wait longer for her return.
