On a recent edition of “The Ariel Helwani Show” podcast, Elayna Black discussed a possible move to TNA Wrestling now that she has been released from WWE. She said,
“I’m not closed off to that by any means. My only hangup is I feel like I was just there, and now they’re kind of doing a WWE and TNA [partnership], so it almost feels like I need to step away from all of that for that world for a second.
“I love TNA, will definitely work there again in the future. Just right now in time, I feel like they’re too close-knit together right now. It’ll be better for me to kind of branch off and just kind of figure it out.”
In early 2025, Black, as Cora Jade, appeared for TNA Wrestling and challenged for the Knockouts Title, thanks to WWE’s partnership with TNA.
Years before signing with WWE, Black made a handful of appearances for TNA, which was known as Impact Wrestling at the time.
Black was cut from WWE in early 2025. She leaves WWE as a former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion.
