Cora Jade is currently one of the up-and-coming female wrestlers who are part of WWE's NXT brand.
She was signed to the company in January 2021, but ahead of her move over to Vince McMahon's company, the 21-year-old already had quite the wealth of experience.
Jade first appeared for IMPACT Wrestling in 2019 where she was defeated by Havok at Prelude To Glory.

The following year, she made her debut for AEW as part of their Dark show. Jade wrestled Red Velvet on October 13th episode before later teaming up with Leyla Hirsch. The duo lost their match to Brandi Rhodes and Red Velvet, just weeks before it was announced that she had signed with WWE.
Jade was part of the same Performance Center class as fellow former AEW Star Priscilla Kelly and both women are now part of the NXT Women's Division. Following her signing, she was quickly renamed Cora Jade and has recently been wrestling dark matches for WWE ahead of SmackDown.
