Cora Jade recently spoke with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During the discussion, the NXT Superstar looked back at her performance in the WarGames match this past weekend, taking advantage of the opportunity of being in the bout by doing the memorable top-of-the-cage dive spot and more.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview.
On her raw emotion after the NXT Women’s WarGames Match: “I started crying and it was such raw emotion. I fell in love with this when I was eight. It’s what I’ve wanted and worked for over the past 12 years. To go into the back after the match, after a WarGames match, and have people like Shawn Michaels and Road Dogg shake my hand, it’s the craziest, most amazing thing.”
On taking advantage of her opportunity and doing a dive off the cage: “I wrestled on the indies before this, but there is nothing that can ever compare to tonight. And I’ll always remember standing up on top of that cage. It’s pretty high and scary. But when opportunity arises, you go get it. The ‘Generation of Jade’ is here in NXT 2.0. It’s a new generation, a new time, and that dive off the cage symbolized that.”
