Emma is back after a little over a month off due to injury, according to a report by Pro Wrestling Sheet‘s Ashley Leckwold.
The Australian beauty appeared in a WWE Live event Friday in Jackson, Mississippi. Twitter user Terrence Moore shared a clip from a tag match involving Emma, Sasha Banks, Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax:

Emma hadn’t made an in-ring appearance since injuring her shoulder May 9 in a WWE Live event in Liverpool, England.
The injury added to what has been a rough year for the former NXT star. She had back surgery last May that kept her out until October. Shortly thereafter, WWE began airing vignettes playing up the makeover of Emma to Emmalina.
However, Emmalina debuted on the February 13 episode of Raw and she almost immediately announced she was returning to being Emma, or to be more precise, Evil Emma, a persona which had gotten over with fans as a heel before her injuries.
It will be interesting to see how she fits back in the Raw women’s division considering the current champ, Alexa Bliss, is a heel, and top contender Nia Jax has mostly been a heel so far. WWE has done some damage to its top babyfaces on Raw, Bayley and Sasha Banks, the past few months with lackluster booking which hasn’t seemed to take advantage of their abilities.
