It's not easy to be out for a year and for the former RAW Women's Champion Nia Jax, it's been 11 months since we've seen her in the ring. It's almost as long as Ronda Rousey has been out and there's no doubt that her presence was missing in the women's division this past year.

She's finally set to return soon, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, who revealed that she's been cleared after her surgery:

Is this man the funniest man in wrestling?

Nia Jax has been medically cleared to return after reconstructive surgery on both knees. It’s just a question of when they want to start her back and where. Right now she’s earmarked for Raw, and not Smackdown as has been reported in many places

RAW appears to be the right place for her since the SmackDown Women's division has a little more strength to it. Perhaps a change in direction would be good for her and we hope this rumor is true since she's long overdue for a return.
