Listen, it's always great to see a star come back from injury. Nia Jax is back and not a moment too soon, considering all the months that she has missed, sitting on the sidelines until now. But at the same time, her return is also necessary and I will tell you why.
Becky Lynch is out of opponents to face and while it does seem like she has unfinished business with Shayna Baszler, that is bound to end very soon indeed. So, unless Sasha Banks comes over from SmackDown to RAW, she wouldn't have had a realistic opponent who could snatch the title from her until Nia Jax finally came along. Nia Jax and Becky Lynch have unfinished business and she could be the one to finally end the dominant streak of 'The Man'.
Nia Jax is someone who, much like King Corbin, gets a massive amount of heat when there's a crowd present, so I think she would do far better as a heel than a babyface anyway in the weeks ahead.
