WWE News: Nia Jax Close to Returning; Update on Status of Lars Sullivan


— Nia Jax, who underwent double knee surgery shortly after WrestleMania last year, is reportedly very close to returning.

— Lars Sullivan is another name who “should be ready” to return, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Sullivan underwent reconstructive knee surgery in June. He was given a prognosis of six to nine months, which would have meant a January-March return. It’s unclear though what Sullivan’s future in WWE is as he was earmarked for a gigantic push last year where he would have beaten John Cena at WrestleMania, but then went missing in action after an anxiety attack. With the injury as well as some past work in gay porn re-surfacing late last year, his status is uncertain.
