The NXT-TNA collaboration will see one of the silver brand’s best and brightest challenge for the Knockouts World Championship at the upcoming Sacrifice event. During the February 20, edition of TNA iMPACT, Tessa Blanchard refused to wrestle her planned opponent for the show, much to the ire of the Orlando crowd. Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich appeared to chastise Blanchard and made quick work out of Tessa’s would-be opponent.
Before Slamovich could celebrate for too long, NXT’s Cora Jade ambushed the reigning Knockouts Champion. Santino Marella, TNA’s Director of Authority, would then announce that Jade will challenge Slamovich for the gold at Sacrifice on March 14.
Jade has previously shown interest in winning the TNA Knockouts Title, and will make history if she wins the gold. A victory at Sacrifice will make Jade the first-ever active WWE talent to win a title from TNA Wrestling. In the past, Izzi Dame, Wendy Choo, and Karmen Petrovic have challenged for the gold, but were unsuccessful.
Jade’s involvement with Genesis represents the strength of the TNA-WWE partnership, a multi-year deal that has already seen plenty of crossover. Whether Jade makes history at Sacrifice or not remains to be seen, but neither she nor Slamovich will hold back with the title on the line next month.
Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade insist they’re still best friends—but if history has taught us anything, that may not last long.
The two have been inseparable since their early days in WWE, even winning the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships together in 2022. But that partnership didn’t last, as Jade famously turned on Perez, trashing her title belt and ending their reign.
Now, the two have reunited, but fans can’t help but wonder if another betrayal is coming. Their upcoming Fatal 4-Way match at Vengeance Day for the NXT Women’s Championship adds another layer of tension.
On the No-Contest Wrestling Podcast, Perez dismissed the idea of issues between them—but not without hesitation.
“I think we’re fine… I don’t know about her,” Perez said. “She seems a little upset, but I’m fine.”
Jade, however, may not see it that way. When Perez recently pointed out that Jade was the one who got pinned in a recent match, the tension was obvious.
“I was just stating facts,” Perez said.
In WWE, “best friends” rarely stay best friends for long. And with a title on the line at Vengeance Day, it wouldn’t be a surprise if this partnership once again implodes.
WWE Vengeance Day 2025 will take place on Saturday, February 15, 2025, at the Entertainment & Sports Arena in Washington, D.C., featuring matches including a Fatal 4-Way NXT Women’s Championship match between Giulia, Bayley, Roxanne Perez, and Cora Jade.
Additional matches have been confirmed for the upcoming WWE NXT Vengeance Day event.
Eddy Thorpe has challenged Trick Williams to a Strap Match at Vengeance Day, citing Williams’ numerous opportunities compared to his own lack of recognition from Ava, Shawn Michaels, and the fans. This challenge follows weeks of Thorpe using a strap to attack Williams on NXT.
Fraxiom (Nathan Frazer & Axiom) will defend their NXT Tag Team Championships against Josh Briggs & Yoshiki Inamura. Briggs & Inamura secured this title shot by defeating Hank Walker & Tank Ledger and the No Quarter Catch Crew (Myles Borne & Tavion Heights) on the February 11 episode of NXT.
Additionally, Cora Jade has been added to the NXT Women’s Championship match, making it a Fatal 4-Way. Jade earned her spot by defeating Bayley on the February 11 episode of NXT, thanks to a distraction from Roxanne Perez, who disguised herself as “Hugger” Bayley. Taking advantage, Jade secured the victory with two Double-Arm DDTs, including one on the ringside floor. Following the match, NXT General Manager Ava made the Fatal 4-Way official.
WWE NXT Vengeance Day 2025 takes place on Saturday, February 15, 2025, at the Entertainment & Sports Arena in Washington, D.C. The event will air live on Peacock, with the pre-show starting at 5 PM ET and the main card beginning at 6 PM ET.
Updated WWE NXT Vengeance Day 2025 Card:
WWE NXT Championship: Oba Femi (c) vs. Grayson Waller vs. Austin Theory
NXT Women’s Championship Fatal 4-Way: Giulia (c) vs. Bayley vs. Roxanne Perez vs. Cora Jade
NXT Women’s North American Championship: Fallon Henley (c) vs. Stephanie Vaquer
Ethan Page vs. Je’Von Evans
Strap Match: Eddy Thorpe vs. Trick Williams
NXT Tag Team Championship: Fraxiom (Nathan Frazer & Axiom) (c) vs. Josh Briggs & Yoshiki Inamura
Cora Jade’s pursuit of the TNA Knockouts World Championship will lead her to competing on a future episode of TNA iMPACT. After this week’s show, TNA filmed next week’s episode of their weekly flagship show. During the taping, the former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion took on TNA Wrestling’s Hyan.
This match marked Jade’s first time competing for TNA Wrestling, but not her first time competing for the company. In 2019, Jade competed as Elyana Black against Havok during the TNA Prelude to Glory event. Jade, again as Elyana Black, has also competed for AEW, making her one of a select few to compete in the three major wrestling promotions in the United States.
Jade appeared at TNA Genesis where she confronted Masha Slamovich after the TNA Knockouts World Champion retained her gold against Rosemary. Jade was also a part of this week’s iMPACT, where her distracting presence would cost Slamovich and Spitfire in six-woman tag-team action.
Cora Jade had shared her intent to win the TNA Knockouts World Title, which if successful would be a historic first between the two parties. With a match between Jade and Slamovich seeming inevitable, it remains to be seen whether it’ll be the champion or the challenger who has the home-field advantage.
At TNA Genesis 2025, Cora Jade confronted Masha Slamovich following Slamovich’s Clockwork Orange match victory over Rosemary. During an appearance on Busted Open Radio, Jade shared what she told the reigning TNA Knockouts World Champion.
“I said that title is gonna be mine. That TNA Knockouts Title is coming to me.”
Jade is aware of the skepticism from fans who doubt her chances against Slamovich, widely regarded as one of the toughest women in wrestling today. While Jade’s matches in WWE may not have been as brutal as what Slamovich displayed at Genesis, she’s no slouch to getting violent in the ring.
“I think people forget that before I got here [WWE NXT] I was doing hardcore matches. I had a deathmatch right before I got signed.”
Jade is hardly the only name wanting to cross the line in the WWE-TNA partnership. Fresh off his World Championship victory at Genesis, Joe Hendry has challenged John Cena to a showdown in the ring and on the mic. WWE’s Sheamus would love the chance to step in the ring with TNA’s Nic Nemeth in a revival of their feuds as part of WWE.
The multi-year partnership between WWE and TNA has sparked excitement among fans and promises plenty of thrilling moments. While an official match between Jade and Slamovich has yet to be announced, it seems likely that they will meet in the ring again soon.
In the days leading up to TNA Genesis 2025, it was teased that the show would see involvement from WWE NXT as part of a multi-year partnership between the two sides. This certainly proved to be the case with multiple names from the silver brand appearing in Garland, Texas.
Before the show, Arianna Grace served in her role as the offical liasion between WWE NXT and TNA Wrestling and brought out Ashante ‘Thee Adonis. The NXT Superstar issued an open challenge to the TNA roster, which was answered by Jake Something. Despite a valiant effort by Adonis, it was Something who got the win.
.@WWENXT's Ashante “Thee” Adonis has arrived in the iMPACT Zone with an Open Challenge!
During the show, TNA World Tag Team Champions The Hardyz put their titles on the line against The Rascalz. During the match, NXT Tag Team Champions Fraxiom (Nathan Frazer & Axiom) arrived to get a better look at the action. Things turned ugly when The Rascalz attacked Fraxiom, but the match would end with Jeff Hardy getting the pin over Trey Miguel to retain.
In the brutal Clockwork Orange match, Masha Slamovich retained her TNA Knockouts World Championship against Rosemary. After the match, Cora Jade showed up and gestured that she wants a shot at the gold. Slamovich was featured in the crowd during the latest WWE NXT ahead of Jade’s match with Kelani Jordan, and traded some barbs on X with Jade after the match.
TNA’s multi-year partnership promises plenty of exciting crossovers with WWE, and that has already been the case. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on this partnership and to see who ever crosses the line.
The road to WWE NXT Deadline will begin in earnest on the upcoming episode of WWE NXT, with two Iron Survivor Challenge qualifying matches announced. On X, WWE NXT GM Ava shared that Wes Lee will face Cedric Alexander in a Men’s Qualifying match, while Cora Jade will take on Sol Ruca for a spot in the Women’s match.
The Iron Survivor Challenge is a 25-minute match featuring five Superstars, two of which start the match. A new entrant enters every five minutes, with the winner being the Superstar who scores the most points, earned by pinfall or submission. While those entering the match later have less time to score points, they’re also considerably fresher than those who started the match.
Roxanne Perez and Grayson Waller won the inaugural matches in 2022, earning a shot at the NXT Women’s title and NXT title respectively. Perez’s victory would lead to her first reign as NXT Women’s Champion, ending the 413-day reign of Mandy Rose. Blair Davenport and Trick Williams on their matches in 2023.
WWE NXT – November 12
Here is the card as it stands for the November 12, edition of WWE NXT:
Sol Ruca Vs. Cora Jade (Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge Qualifying match)
Wes Lee Vs. Cedric Alexander (Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge match)
Adriana Rizzo vs. Nikkita Lyons
Ava meets with the tag team division to settle on a set of No. 1 contenders
AJ Lee is heralded by fans and several wrestlers as a trailblazer in WWE’s women’s division, who was able to win over fans during her time without resorting to titillation. The former WWE Divas Champion hasn’t wrestled since the post-WrestleMania 31 Raw back in March 2015, but NXT’s Cora Jade is hoping to change that very soon.
Speaking to Scott Fishman of TV Insider, Jade was asked about AJ Lee and shared her hopes of getting the 37-year-old back in the squared circle.
“I don’t know. I hope so. I’m working on it. Me and Roxy are always badgering [Punk] about it. I know he is doing it to her as well, so we’ll see. If it happens, you’ll have to thank me.”
Jade’s love for AJ Lee is hardly a secret, with both herself and NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez citing her as an inspiration for stepping foot in the ring. The NXT duo have been affectionately referred to as the ‘daughters’ of Lee and CM Punk, who have both got in on the fun.
WWE NXT Superstar Cora Jade is mourning the loss of her dog Stitch who went missing hours before dying this week. On X, Jade shared the heartbreaking news with her followers that her dog had gone missing and hoped someone could reunite her with her furry friend.
Unfortunately, Jade shared in an update that Stitch was hit by a car and that the driver did not stop. The NXT Superstar was appreciative that the person who found her dog was able to contact her and care for Stitch in his final moments.
I appreciate everyone reaching out and trying to help. Unfortunately Stitch was hit by a car & the person that hit him kept going and didn’t stop. Thankful for the person who found my # & called and cared for him in his last moments. I will love you til the end of time Stitchy 🖤
This tragedy comes mere weeks after Cora Jade made her return to NXT during the brand’s debut on The CW Network. During the show’s premiere episode on the network, Jade aided Roxanne Perez in her successful NXT Women’s Title defense against Giulia. Jade has explained her alliance with Perez as being on board with the new heel attitude of The Prodigy. The 23-year-old had been out of action since January of this year after she tore her ACL during an NXT Live Event match against Lyra Valkyria.
Jade and Perez have been at odds with Giulia and the recently-debuted Stephanie Vaquer in recent weeks, guaranteeing all four women a prominent role on WWE NXT programming. In her personal life though, Cora Jade is evidently struggling, and we at SEScoops would like to offer our condolences at this sad time.

WWE presented the CW Premiere episode of NXT tonight from the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois. One of the featured bouts on the show was Roxanne Perez defending the NXT Women’s Championship against Giulia.
The Japanese star was making her official in-ring debut for the development brand in the opening match of the episode. As expected, she dominated most of the bout.
Giulia sent Perez crashing onto the outside floor towards the ending of the fight. The referee started a ten count but both competitors beat it. Roxanne Perez then grabbed the Women’s title belt to hit her opponent but the ref stopped her.
When the referee was busy, however, a hooded figure dragged the former Stardom star out of the ring and delivered a DDT on the floor. The mysterious star dumped Giulia back into the ring where Perez picked up the victory with a Pop Rox. The figure then revealed themselves to be a returning Cora Jade.
The 23-year-old had been out of action since January this year. She tore her ACL during an NXT Live Event match against Lyra Valkyria.
Jade previously won the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships with Roxanne Perez. Though their team didn’t last long as Cora Jade turned on her partner and then dumped the NXT tag title in a trash can.
It’s not clear if the events of tonight are leading towards a reunion between the teammates or if Jade has a different intention in mind. We’ll have to tune in to NXT in coming times to find out.
Vicent Winey recently appeared on WWE Monday Night Raw, where he lost a squash match to Odyssey Jones. While Jones’ career in WWE is now a distant memory, Winey’s future looks bright, as he’s received a brand new name by the promotion.
Winey made his in-ring debut as Harlem Lewis during the latest taping of WWE NXT Level Up with a loss to Dante Chen. WWE recently trademarked the name Harlem Lewis, confirming its use for Winey going forward. Winey has also changed his name on Twitter/X to Harlem Lewis, confirming the moniker he hopes to make a name for himself with.
Vincent Winey
Harlem Lewis joined WWE earlier this year and in addition to his Raw appearance last month, has been appearing at NXT live events under the Winey name. So far, he is yet to score a victory in WWE and is sitting at a 0-9 win/loss record. His most recent match saw him on the losing eight of an eight-person tag at NXT’s August 23, live event in Fort Pierce.
Sporting Past
Before wrestling, Lewis played as a linebacker for the Morehead State Eagles Football team and played in the NCAA Division 1 league. In 2021, he began playing for the Ancona Dolphins, an American football team based in Ancona, Italy, again as a Linebacker.
WWE Romance
Lewis is currently dating WWE NXT’s Cora Jade, who had previously been in a relationship with Monday Night Raw’s Bron Breakker. In April, Jade and Lewis confirmed their relationship with a series of Instagram Stories. Jade has missed most of 2024 after suffering a torn ACL in January but teased a return to the ring in August.
As Harlem Lewis, Winey hopes to take NXT by storm and eventually make it to WWE’s main roster. Stay tuned to SEScoops for all the latest on Harlem Lewis and his future as an NXT Superstar.

CM Punk’s 46th birthday is still a month away, but that hasn’t stopped his ‘daughters‘ Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade giving the veteran a gift. The two NXT Superstars didn’t need to spend a fortune to make their feelings clear on the former WWE World Champion and even included a reference to one of Punk’s most infamous moments.
On his Instagram Stories, Punk shared the gift in question; a birthday napkin claiming that the Raw Superstar is turning 100 years old. Punk is encouraged to “enjoy your fruit and protein” by his ‘daughters’ who he believes are “alright when they’re not being brats.”
At the top of the napkin is a quote from Punk that reads “I’m old and tired and I work with children.” Punk infamously delivered a variation of these words during his infamous All Out 2022 post-show rant. That rant and the backstage fight that followed would see Punk and other top names suspended from AEW and would forever shift the Best in the World’s relationship with the promotion. The napkin also includes an image of a cupcake, a nod to Punk’s sweet treat of choice as he delivered his post-show comments.
What’s to Come?
CM Punk will appear on the October 1, edition of WWE NXT, which will serve as the show’s premiere and fittingly take place in Chicago, Illinois. At the latest NXT, it was confirmed that Punk will officiate the NXT Championship match between Ethan Page and Trick Williams.
Perez will also be in action on the night as she’ll defend her NXT Women’s Championship against Giulia. Despite this napkin gift, Perez had strong words for Punk on the latest NXT, declaring that she now sees she should have been a Drew McIntyre, the man Punk will face in Hell in a Cell at WWE Bad Blood on October 5.
A recent tweet from WWE superstar Cora Jade has fans wondering if her return to NXT could be soon. The developmental brand had their Heatwave premium live event on July 7 at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. One of the featured matches had WWE NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez successfully defending her title against Lola Vice. While ‘The Prodigy’ celebrated a victory, Jade teased fans on X that she is on track to return to the ring after her ACL injury.
After Perez defeated Vice, WWE posted a graphic on X celebrating her retaining her title and captioned it by asking who could stop her.
The tweet caught Jade’s attention, and she reposted it to warn Perez that her return was coming soon.
I was told an ACL injury heals in 6-9 months. That was in January. :) https://t.co/FU7sLHGY3c
It’s unclear exactly when she will be cleared to compete. However, her tweet shows her interest in taking on Perez when she returns.
Cora Jade Rehab Progress & Possible Match With Roxanne Perez
Jade suffered her ACL injury during a match against Lyra Valkyria at an NXT House Show in January. Since then, Jade has been working hard to make a return and has posted her rehab progress on Instagram. On July 5, she shared a video of her doing barbell squats with 155 lbs without a knee brace.
The tweet after Perez’s victory is interesting as the champion continues to dominate the women’s division. She has retained her title five times with notable wins over Jordynne Grace, Natalya, and recently Vice. NXT General Manager Ava is also trying to find opponents that can give Perez a challenge, as ‘The Prodigy’ continues to boast that she is better than everyone else. Given their history as former friends turned rivals, Jade would be an interesting surprise challenger for Perez.
The possibility of Jade challenging Perez for her title depends on whether WWE feels she is ready to return. However, the tweet and her rehab progress show her motivation to get back in the ring.
Cora Jade has sent out a notice to fans to set some boundaries.
Jade took to her Twitter account, requesting fans not to send fan mail to her personal address, and worse, at her parents’. She wrote:
“I love and appreciate all fan mail but if you are going to send it please refrain from sending it to my personal address or more importantly my parents’. All fan mail can be sent to the PC addressed to me :)”
I love and appreciate all fan mail but if you are going to send it please refrain from sending it to my personal address or more importantly my parents’. All fan mail can be sent to the PC addressed to me :)
The fact that the 23-year-old female wrestler even had to issue such a request to fans is a shameful thing. Everybody deserves privacy, and no one should have to deal with their private information being available to the public.
Many wrestlers have previously spoken about fans crossing boundaries in the past. Wrestlers getting harassed by “fans” at airports and hotels is unfortunately a common theme.
Rhea Ripley in particular voiced her frustration after having a bad experience with people coming up to her to get things signed. She wrote on Twitter:
“Today has put me off completely! I will not sign ANYTHING that isn’t a personal photo of us anymore. Hate me, I don’t care. Disagree with me, try putting yourselves in our shoes for one bloody day.”
Others such as Kris Statlander have also voiced their opinions on people waiting in lines at airports and hotels to get things signed. Statlander said that she’s not a fan of people who do this.
“…I’m not a fan of when fans wait at airports and hotels,” said Statlander. “We are not technically at work at that time, you know, and it’s just like most travel has been so hectic lately that a lot of us just cannot be bothered to put on a happy face sometimes. Some of us we have a lot of real-life things to deal with, and it’s like sometimes we’re not always our best selves, especially when traveling. We don’t feel our best.”
However, Seth Rollins did mention an important point in an interview that such “pseudo-collectors” at the airports are outliers, and the majority of the fans he encounters in public are respectful.
NXT star Cora Jade recently made an appearance during an NXT Live Event and set her sights on the Women’s title.
Last night’s NXT Live Event emanated from the Havert L. Fenn Center in Fort Pierce, FL. Cora Jade, who is recuperating from a torn ACL injury, made her return and delivered a promo. The 23-year-old rising wrestler revealed that she will be back in a matter of few months and called out the NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez.
The reigning NXT Women’s Champion noticed Jade’s message and took to her X account to respond. Perez said that she would be keeping the title “nice and warm” for Jade.
Cora Jade has had the top prize of the NXT Women’s division in her sights for a long time but the title has eluded her. After a 4-months hiatus, Jade made her comeback to WWE last year at NXT Deadline in December. She immediately revealed her intentions to capture the title. However, she had a terrible start to the new year as she suffered an injury during an untelevised show.
Cora Jade and Roxanne Perez have been NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions in the past. However, Jade betrayed Perez when she beat her down with her skateboard.
They went on to have matches at NXT Heatwave 2022 which Cora Jade won, while ‘The Prodigy’ emerged victorious at NXT Halloween Havoc 2022. It seems that the fans could be witnessing a trilogy fight down the road. NXT Heatwave 2024 is set to take place in July and there is a huge possibility that the show could feature the bout.
WWE has a few Superstars who are out of action with injuries, and NXT lost a big asset when Cora Jade was taken out of action. Despite that injury setback, she’s not going to let it interfere with her concert experience.
Cora Jade was recently spotted at Rolling Loud in Los Angeles. She had a big smile on her face while posing for social media. It was obviously great to get out for the big music festival.
Rolling Loud LA x Cora Jade
Cora Jade may be out of action with an ACL injury, but she still commands attention whenever she is spotted. She took the opportunity to attend Rolling Loud in Los Angeles, and it was quite a show.
In a recent update shared on her Instagram, Cora Jade unveiled snapshots of herself at the Rolling Loud concert. Despite wearing a knee brace, she was very happy to be there.
Artists like Future, Metro Boomin, Chief Keef, and NLE Choppa were featured at the concert, but Cora Jade wasn’t the only pro wrestling representative there. In fact, Swerve Strickland had a spot on the big lineup.
Cora Jade lives in Orlando, so this was quite a trip for her. She obviously had no issue flying out to Los Angeles for the show, even with her injury.
Cora Jade’s journey in pro wrestling faced its share of obstacles. She tore her ACL recently, and she’s on the mend now. That sad injury came just months after she returned to the ring from a long hiatus.
Despite the setback, she hasn’t allowed it to dampen her spirits. It’s good to see Cora Jade is getting out there. Hopefully, she will be back on NXT television soon enough.
SEScoops will have more from this story, and so much more in the pro wrestling world. You never know what will happen next, especially with so much going on.

The future of Damage CTRL may be looking increasingly uncertain, but Bayley hopes to bring an NXT Superstar on board when the time is right.
Damage CTRL debuted at SummerSlam 2022, which marked the return of Bayley after an injury that kept her out of the ring for over a year. The Role Model showed up in Nashville with Dakota Kai (who had been released earlier that year) and Io Shirai (since renamed IYO SKY) whose contract was close to expiring.
A New Member?
In November of last year, Kairi Sane and Asuka joined the faction, despite the Empress’ previous battles with Damage CTRL. On Instagram this week, Bayley threw out an offer to WWE NXT Superstar Cora Jade who is currently out of action with an ACL injury.
Cora Jade joined WWE in 2021. She has previously competed under the name Elyanna Black and has made appearances for TNA Wrestling (IMPACT Wrestling) at the time, as well as AEW.
Cora Jade’s efforts in the ring haven’t gone unnoticed by one of WWE’s veteran performers…
NXT star Cora Jade is keeping a positive attitude despite encountering a significant setback in her wrestling career.
Jade, 23, is one of the top rising stars in WWE’s developmental brand. Already a former NXT Women’s tag team champion (with Roxanne Perez, 22), her hopes for a bright 2024 came crashing down when she sustained a knee injury this past weekend at a non-televised NXT event from Dade City, FL.
Later in the evening, Jade posted a meme stating, “I laugh to keep from crying,” which many fans perceived as cause for concern regarding her medical outlook.
During Tuesday’s NXT broadcast on the USA Network, WWE provided an update on her condition. Upon a medical evaluation, it was determined that Cora Jade had sustained an ACL tear that will keep her out of action for up to one year.
Cora Jade reacts
Cora Jade is learning that major injuries can be an unfortunate part of a successful career in WWE.
The determination and work ethic that brought her to the ‘big time’ will serve her well in the months ahead. She faces a long road to recovery and sounds like she’s keeping a level-headed outlook about things.
Following the announcement that she’ll be lucky to step foot in the ring before the end of 2024, she posted an inspirational quote on social media, along with a photo of her left knee in a brace.
WWE NXT Superstar Cora Jade will be out of action for close to a year after suffering a torn ACL during a recent live event.
During the January 16, 2024, edition of WWE NXT, the gold brand confirmed reports that Jade had been injured at an untelevised show. It was confirmed that Jade suffered a torn ACL. She is slated to miss up to a year of in-ring action. The injury occurred during a match between Jade and NXT Women’s Champion Lyra Valkyria. During this week’s show, however, it was stated that Jade wrestled and lost to someone else.
Jade’s injury will once again raise questions regarding the safety of the training WWE provides at its Performance Center. Jade is the latest woman to be taken out with a torn ACL. Amari Miller, Arianna Grace, Nikkita Lyons, and Yulisa Leon have all suffered ACL tears as part of WWE NXT. It’ll be important for WWE to find the balance between conditioning talent for the future while also not pushing them beyond their current limits.
Cora Jade recently reunited with an old hero of hers…
Cora Jade and Lyra Valkyria faced each other in the main event, and regrettably, Jade fell to the mat at some point. This resulted in, what could be, a drastic change of plans for Shawn Michaels’ NXT booking.
We previously covered that Jade went down during an NXT live event, and she did not get up. This caused alarm as WWE’s medical team tended to her in the ring.
Dave Meltzer has now updated fans to say that the former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion suffered an ACL tear. The severity of her tear was not noted.
The Cora Jade knee injury from the weekend house show we talked about on the show last night is an ACL tear.
The Cora Jade knee injury from the weekend house show we talked about on the show last night is an ACL tear.
Cora Jade has a bright future in WWE, and she has some great connections in the company. Not only has she impressed many with her work ethic at this point, but she is also a favorite of CM Punk’s.
While Jade was a WWE fan in her younger days, she was a huge fan of CM Punk and AJ Lee. Now, in her career as a WWE Superstar, she has a much different appreciation for everything they’ve done.
Jade received a nice surprise from Punk while he stopped by NXT after his WWE return. The two got along very well, and the Second City Savior worked out with Cora Jade, and others, at the WWE Performance Center while he was around.
NXT superstar Cora Jade has apparently suffered an injury at a house show last night in Dade City, Florida.
Jade has become of the promising talents in recent times in WWE’s developmental brand but the apparent injury could keep her on the sidelines.
Cora Jade injured
Cora Jade and Lyra Valkyria squared off in the main event and unfortunately, Jade hit the mat at some point, and medical staff arrived to see how she was doing. Those in attendance shared pictures on social media of Jade being checked on by the referee and a trainer. In one of the pictures, she can be seen holding her head while lying on the mat. We are hoping that it’s not something major.
Jade recently made her comeback at NXT Deadline and has been regular on TV.
Jade has been eyeing to capture the NXT Women’s title. At the Premium Live Event, Valkyria approached Blair Davenport after she emerged victorious in the Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge and dropped hints at their upcoming bout. However, Jade had other ideas as she announced her intention to win the NXT Women’s Championship.
Since then, Jade has been appearing in the Title picture, and her last night’s match against Valkyria is seemingly an indication that a major bout between the two is set to take place at a high-profile live event. However, if Jade gets hurt, things may need to change, depending on how serious the injury is.
Deadline was a big night for Jade, as not only did she make her return to NXT TV but she also ran into her favorite wrestler CM Punk backstage. The two shared an awesome moment where Punk called back to their first meeting when Jade attended a fan event and had him sign something, and he told her how proud he was of what she’s done and that she should also be proud of herself.
The pro wrestling world has many happy couples, because it really takes someone in the business to understand the sacrifices required. Sadly, not all relationships last, and it appears that Bron Breakker and Cora Jade may no longer be together.
Bron Breakker & Cora Jade’s Relationship
Cora Jade and Bron Breakker were romantically linked with each other. Their relationship was made official last year.
In 2022, there were speculations about their relationship, which Bron Breakker later confirmed. They openly shared photos and videos with each other on social media, posting numerous times as they let fans know that they were an official couple on their respective Instagram accounts.
Bron Breakker & Cora Jade’s Possible Breakup
Upon checking both Cora Jade and Bron Breakker’s Instagram profiles, they have unfollowed each other and deleted all their shared photos. This was quickly noticed by eagle-eyes fans, causing some concern that the pro wrestling power couple from NXT are no longer dating.
Though there has been no official word from Cora Jade or Bron Breakker on the subject so any rumors about them are just speculation at this point.
Relationships can face challenges due to busy schedules, especially in pro wrestling. Although we cannot be certain about the reason for this development until the NXT stars are ready to address their relationship status publically.
No matter what, Bron Breakker and Cora Jade both have huge upsides to them, as they are top NXT Superstars with main roster potential. At this time, we can only wait for some kind of official word from Breakker or Jade.
NXT Superstar Cora Jade has reunited with CM Punk, years after the pair met for the first time back when Jade was just a fan.
Punk helped kick off last night’s NXT Deadline event with an in-ring segment with NXT head Shawn Michaels. Punk grabbed a selfie with the Showstopper and teased signing with NXT instead of Raw or SmackDown on the main roster.
Cora Jade and CM Punk Reunite
WWE NXT Deadline also saw the return of Cora Jade, who appeared during the show to attack reigning NXT Women’s Champion Lyra Valkyria. Recently, a video went viral of a young Jade, years before she joined WWE, being overcome with emotion at meeting CM Punk. During a backstage interview with Jade, Punk made sure that the former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion knows he is proud of how far she has come.
While Punk didn’t mention Jade by name during his WWE NXT Deadline appearance, the former AEW & WWE World Champion did say that there had been some wrestlers backstage who spoke about growing up watching Punk in the ring.
What’s Next?
Based on what happened at Deadline, it’s clear that Jade has her sights set on Lyra Valkyria and the NXT Women’s Championship. With that said Blair Davenport has a guaranteed shot at the champion due to winning the Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge. As for CM Punk, he will announce on next week’s Raw which brand he will be signing with.
What did those backstage make to CM Punk being at WWE NXT Deadline? Click here to find out.
WWE brought their final premium live event of the year with Deadline, and there were a few surprises. Fans expected to see Cora Jade end her long absence from the ring, and that is exactly what happened.
Blair Davenport won the Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge match, and that means she is next in line to face Lyra Valkyria for the NXT Women’s Title. After that big win, Lyra came out to stare her new challenger down.
Suddenly, Cora Jade showed up and clocked Lyra Valkyria from behind. She laid out the NXT Women’s Champion, and she picked up her title for good measure.
After Cora Jade posed with the NXT Women’s Title for a bit, they made it very clear on commentary that Cora Jade is back. This ends a very long hiatus from the ring.
Cora Jade was spotted backstage at NXT Deadline. It was expected that she would end her hiatus from the ring tonight, and that is exactly what happened. Now, she is back, and gunning for the NXT Women’s Title once again.
Cora Jade’s last match took place on July 25, 2023, where she faced Dana Brooke in a Kendo Stick match. Dana Brooke won that match, and Jade walked out of the locker room a short time later. Dana Brooke was later released by WWE. Cora Jade isn’t getting that win back against Dana Brooke, but she may have her sights on a larger prize.
