Cora Jade Explains Why She’s Stepped Away From Pro Wrestling

Cora Jade Explains Why She’s Stepped Away From Pro Wrestling

Cora Jade was released by WWE in May, which shocked many fans, as she had built up a significant fan base in NXT. However, after just seven matches on the indies, she unexpectedly announced that she was taking a break from the business for the foreseeable future, in the interest of her mental health. And now, during an interview with TMZ, she has gone into more detail, revealing that the constant travel associated with being an independent wrestler was making her sick, describing her relationship with the business as “toxic.”

“I had like 20 bookings right away. I was gone four days out of the week, plane right after plane. I was going, going, going. And that’s what made me realize, I’m not having fun doing this. I was having panic attacks before every single match. I’m cold, sweat, dripping, like throwing up, so horribly physically sick over the fact that I have to go wrestle this weekend. I have a toxic relationship with wrestling right now. It was just so draining. I wasn’t sleeping. I wasn’t eating. I wasn’t working out. I was so depressed … If I wouldn’t have taken this break, yeah, maybe I would have retired because I would have gone nuts and went off the rails.”Cora Jade

24-year-old Jade, who now goes by her former ring name Elayna Black on OnlyFans, first stepped into the world of pro wrestling in 2018 and quickly captured the attention of fans and promoters alike thanks to her good looks, charisma, and in-ring skills. Among those who recognized her potential were TNA and AEW, who initially booked her as an enhancement talent, although WWE stepped in to secure her full-time services by being the first company to offer her a contract.
