Not to be a smartass, did she purposefully deadweight, or are her knee so shot she can't kind of jump up with it anymore

I could see her potentially interfering in the Becky against Bayley cage match on Monday. That match has Becky losing to screwy outside interference written all over it especially since it's apparent the Becky/Bayley feud is going all the way to Mania since they don't fit in anywhere else so they are going to need Bayley to prolong it even more. If she doesn't get involved there then it definitely seems like it was a one off.
Also I honestly don't think she deadweighted Rhea. I think it was just a combination her knees being bad and not being able to get a good jump and well her just being very big. Come to think of it I don't really recall many instances anyone doing any power moves and lifting her during her last run when she was lighter. Only time I can think of is Natalya lifting her up on her shoulders in the 2019 Rumble. I'm guessing Bianca did a few times as well when they were both on Raw together during the Thunder Dome era but I wasn't watching during that time so I wouldn't know.

I also think Tamina Samoan Dropped Nia Jax as well.

Nia Jax having bad knees like that (which I sympathize with considering my own ACL tear) makes me wonder why even attempt a move like that. I don't think she was intentionally sandbagging anyone or anything there. Just not wise on anyone's part.

One of the ones in the four way get taken out backstage before the match, Nia comes out and wins. She wins the chamber and we have a new challenger for Bianca at Wrestlemania.

This thread active during NXT had me scared.

…You know, there’s being cautious, there’s being cynical, and there’s being goddamn paranoid. Stop trying to will bad things into existence. Sick of this shit, guys.

Honestly even if she is back for real - and it's looking more and more like she isn't - I doubt she'd be getting positioned to do anything of prominence. She was pretty far removed from that when they cut her and is so utterly broken down I don't see why they'd change course on it now.
Like, yeah, I think the idea of her getting a paycheck at all is gross, but I don't think it's really anything to worry about from a booking perspective because she'd probably just be another person there for Bianca to lift 60 times until it stops being impressive anymore.

I normally am inclined to agree, but I also imagine giving her a final payday (and I guess the shirt) was probably a "haha, so yeah, uhh, we kind of looked like huge pieces of shit firing you when you said you needed more time on your mental health sabbatical. Sorry about that" move. She probably warranted dismissal, anyway, but the timing had been pretty bad, and beyond that and probably having an increasingly small pool of throwbacks to book for the Rumble, this was in some ways sort of an ideal solution to kill two birds with one stone.

Just bumping to acknowledge her recent work, including a stellar match with Becky last night. She has been very good in-ring lately, IMO, and is moving around even better than she did pre-double knee surgery.

I didn't care for the first couple of weeks of her just destroying everyone, but they've found a better balance since and she's gotten more comfortable in-ring.

So with them leaning towards a Rhea vs. Nia match probably at Elimination Chamber.
And with it potentially being the main event.
And the Rock main eventing Wrestlemania too.
The Samoans are definitely doing good the next few months.
