It has been five days since the 2023 WWE Royal Rumble Premium Live event. The winner of the respective men’s and women’s Rumbles were Rhea Ripley and Cody Rhodes

In the women’s Rumble, Ripley entered in at the number #1 spot and emerged victorious. Coming out last in that match was former Raw and Women’s Tag Team Champion Nia Jax (Lina Fanene). 

In November 2021, Jax was released from her contract which concluded a seven-year run with the company. Coming off the Royal Rumble appearance, Jax did a virtual signing with Highspots Superstore and said she had her gear for the Rumble rushed and just one month ago, she did not know about the appearance. 

No I did not (know about the Royal Rumble appearance ‘a month’ ahead of time)… I had it (my gear) very quickly rushed.

After Jax’s appearance, WWE pushed out merchandise for her. She’s still listed as ‘alumni’ on the official website.
