Cora Jade has made headlines recently with her bold assertion about the WWE NXT women's division, calling it the best it has ever been. After enduring a significant recovery period from multiple knee injuries, which sidelined her for nearly nine months, Jade has returned to the ring with a fresh perspective on her career and the landscape of women's wrestling in NXT.
Overcoming Challenges
During an interview with The Takedown on SI, Jade opened up about her experience during her recovery. She described it as a time when she hit "rock bottom," feeling the pangs of isolation as she watched her peers thrive. "Selfishly, you can only sit back, look, and be like, 'Damn, I feel like I'm getting forgotten about or passed over,'" Jade admitted. However, she also found motivation in the success of her fellow wrestlers, recognizing that the division was moving forward and thriving.
A Booming Women's Division
Jade boldly claimed, "The women's division is the best it's ever been." She highlighted the abundance of talent currently in NXT and noted the increased screen time dedicated to women’s segments and matches. "We've never had so many talented women; we've never had so much time for women on a show," she elaborated. This enthusiastic assessment reflects a growing recognition of the women’s division in wrestling as a whole, with many feeling it’s a golden age for female athletes in the sport.
Return to Action
Since her return on October 1, Jade has teamed up with her former friend, NXT Women's Champion Roxanne Perez. While they faced setbacks, including a loss to Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer, Jade remains optimistic. She looks forward to an upcoming opportunity for redemption in a ten-woman tag match that promises to showcase the depth and competitiveness of the NXT women's roster.
Cora Jade’s journey from injury to return not only underscores her resilience but also highlights the evolving landscape of women’s wrestling, where talent and opportunity are flourishing like never before.
