WWE Superstar Jaida Parker recently discussed what she felt going into one of the biggest matches of her career. The 25-year-old has become a popular name on the company's developmental show, NXT.
Parker joined WWE in August 2022 and made her debut on the black and silver brand on October 28 of the same year. Since then, she has been tearing it up on the developmental brand and has become a popular name because of her in-ring and microphone skills.
Jaida Parker is currently in a heated feud with Lola Vice. On the November 6, 2024, episode of WWE NXT, the arch-rivals locked horns in a Hardcore Match in Philadelphia, where several ECW legends, including The Dudley Boyz and Rob Van Dam, were present. Both stars showcased an incredible display inside the ring, and the match ultimately ended in Parker's favor.
During an edition of the Busted Open podcast, ECW legend and one-half of The Dudley Boyz, Bully Ray, asked Jaida Parker if she got nervous before going into a legendary match type against Lola Vice.
Parker said that she was extremely nervous before going into the Hardcore Match as she did not want to dishonor the legacy built by several ECW legends. The WWE NXT star also mentioned that she studied about the match before facing Vice.
"Can I be honest with you? Of course, I was nervous. You know how they say that you [sh*t] the bed. Yeah, I felt like I was gonna do that because I didn't want to sit here [and] discredit everything the legends of ECW have built that name to be. So, if I'm coming in there into your house, which is hardcore, we all know that. And I put on a show that doesn't reach that expectations, that falls back on me. So, I took everything in my power, yes I was nervous, [and] yes I did my research on everything ECW. I had to cause I had to realize what I was getting myself into. It's not just a regular hardcore match," she said. [8:27 - 9:05]
