Nia Jax made an unexpected comeback (Picture: WWE)

Nia Jax made her shocking return in the WWE Royal Rumble – and the countdown never actually appeared.

The Irresistible Force was release by the company in November 2021 and made an unexpected comeback as the final number 30 entrant into the women’s bout during Saturday night’s premium live event.

There was a stunned reaction to her return from the live crowd, which was partly due to the fact her music hit before the traditional 10-second countdown even began.

Jax’s Rumble stint was short lived though, as she got rocked with a Riptide from Rhea Ripley before all the wrestlers teamed up to throw her over the top rope.

She was one of a few surprise entrants during the women’s bout, including legend Michelle McCool and the returning Chelsea Green, who set an undesirable record by being eliminated in a matter of seconds.
