She made a statement by attacking Raquel Rodriguez first, then going after the champion.
The main event of the evening featured a gripping showdown between Ripley and Rodriguez, showcasing two of the top talents in WWE’s women’s division.

Jax’s return will certainly bring a mixed bag of reactions from the WWE Universe.

Nonetheless, based on the passionate crowd reaction during her return, it seems like a strategic move by WWE to introduce a formidable heel opponent for the immensely popular and dominating Ripley.
The stage is now set for what promises to be a compelling storyline in the women’s division.

The Hints Of Jax’s Return Were There In August
Fueled by subtle comments she made about Ripley, there were reports that Jax was going on a major fitness routine and trying to shed some extra pounds to get in better shape. It was then reported that she was actively training with WWE Hall of Famer and former tag team star, D-Von Dudley. These training sessions are taking place at Dudley’s wrestling school in Orlando, Florida, where Jax was diligently honing her skills, apparently in preparation for this return.
We’ll see if that training has paid off.
