On January 20, 2021, Cora Jade signed a WWE developmental deal and debuted on the January 22nd episode of 205 Live.
Regarded by Triple H as the next Sasha Banks of WWE, Jade is among the fastest-rising talents in the women’s division of NXT.
In a recent interview with The Mark Moses Show, Jade reflected on her auditions for WWE. She said,
“It was definitely probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but luckily one of my trainers, Kevin Quinn, he trained CM Punk, Lita, John Cena. He had a hand in so many people in wrestling, and he had been to Japan and done a bunch of stuff. He ran a training school. So he would put us through these Sunday training cardio days he would call them. It was so much conditioning, it would be so much, and at the time it was so exhausting, but I think that really prepared me for the tryout because he kind of pushed us as much as we could be pushed then.”
“I think it was like three days, and the first two started with drills and matches. The last day was the promos.”
Jade, 21, won the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship with Roxanne Perez at The Great American Bash. A week later, Jade decided to go solo and dropped her title belt in the trash can, leaving Perez as the sole tag champion.
