Cora Jade Responds To WWE NXT Bullying Accusations

Elayna Black - fka Cora Jade - has responded to allegations that she was a bully during her time in WWE NXT.

The accusations were made by former developmental talent Alexis Lete who was signed to WWE in August 2022 before being released in September 2023. Lete claimed that Jade was ‘a really mean person’ who ‘wanted to control her’ after allegedly chastising Lete for ‘exposing the business’ after posting training videos on social media.

Taking to X/Twitter, Black posted the following response across several posts:

“I shouldn’t be giving this girl an ounce more of my energy but this will be the one and only time I speak on this and if you know you know. This girl came into the pc and immediately had heat with everyone for being disrespectful on more than one occasion. I texted this girl trying to HELP before her heat got worse (that had already travelled up to main roster before she even had a match). I’ll go ahead and post the screenshots myself. She chose to basically tell me to f*** off and then continue to get heat for weeks. Only until multiple main roster talent members spoke to her as well, she decided to come up to me and apologise. I told her I appreciate the apology but I don’t respect how she handles things and the ways she disrespects pro wrestling. I came from Indy wrestling, absolutely loved wrestling and was trying to carry on the love and respect that was there when I got there in black and gold. There is absolutely no respect for wrestling with people like this and it’s not my job to care about anymore. Which is exactly what is wrong with that entire place in general. I spoke to her maybe 5 times total of that. Blunt to a fault sometimes? Yes. But bullying is crazy,” stated Black.

Black exited WWE in May as part of company-wide releases, with Black subsequently taking a hiatus from the industry.
