Nia Jax made her long-awaited return on WWE Raw, defeating Deonna Purrazzo in short order. Jax had been off television for nearly a year after undergoing double ACL surgery following WrestleMania 35 in 2019.
In her return match, Nia busted out a move that was familiar to WWE fans, but new to Jax's arsenal, hitting Purrazzo with the Rampaige (cradle DDT) previously used by Paige.

Paige took to social media following the bout to confirm that nothing was stolen from her and that she gave Jax permission to use the move.
You never use another persons finishing move unless it is given to you. I gave it to @NiaJaxWWE and she just killed it. I have chills. Proud moment @WWE

In an interview with Gary Cassidy of Sportskeeda in January, Paige named Nia Jax as the person she would like to manage should she return to that role.
Did we just see @NiaJaxWWE using the Rampaige on #WWERAW? Perhaps we may see an alliance forming soon --

I asked @RealPaigeWWE in January who she’d like to manage in WWE, and there was one name at the very top of the list... #RAW pic.twitter.com/HZ8GQAxGVa
While Nia returned to competition on Monday night, she spent part of her Sunday teaching Killer Kross the rules of the industry. To find out more on the situation between Jax and Kross, click here.
