WWE (2021–present)

[edit]

On January 20, 2021, it was announced that Coda signed a contract with WWE.[14] She debuted on the January 22 episode of 205 Live under the ring name Cora Jade, where she was paired with Gigi Dolin in the opening round of the 2021 Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, but they were eliminated by The Way (Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell).[15] On the November 16 episode of NXT, Jade joined Raquel González's team for NXT WarGames.[16] At that event, Jade gave her team the victory in the women's WarGames match.[17] Jade got an opportunity at the NXT Women's Championship in a triple threat match against González and champion Mandy Rose at New Year's Evil on January 4, 2022, but failed to win the title.[18][19] At The Great American Bash, Jade and Roxanne Perez defeated Toxic Attraction (Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne) to become the NXT Women's Tag Team Champions.[20]

On the July 12 episode of NXT, Jade turned heel when she attacked Perez, costing her the NXT Women's Championship match against Mandy Rose.[21] The following week, Jade declared her intentions for solo success and then dropped her title belt in the trash can, leaving Perez as the sole tag champion. Later that night, she competed in a 20-woman battle royal to determine the number one contender to the NXT Women's Championship, but was eliminated by eventual winner Zoey Stark.[22] At Heatwave, Jade defeated Perez.[23] On the October 4 episode of NXT, a Weapons Wild match was set between Jade and Perez on Halloween Havoc.[24] The two also agreed on pick your poison matches, where both could choose any opponent in WWE for each other.[25] Jade made her first main roster appearance on the October 17 episode of Raw, where she picked Rhea Ripley as Perez's opponent.[26] The following night, Jade defeated Raquel Rodriguez (Perez's handpicked opponent) by disqualification.[27] Four days later, at Halloween Havoc, Jade lost to Perez in a Weapons Wild match.[28] In May 2023, Jade defeated Fallon Henley in the first round of the tournament for the vacant NXT Women's Championship, but she lost to Lyra Valkyria in the semifinals.[29][30] Following the August 2 episode of NXT, Jade took a hiatus from WWE television.[31]

After a four-month hiatus, Jade returned at NXT Deadline on December 9, attacking NXT Women's Champion Lyra Valkyria and posed with the title.[32] On January 12, 2024, during a match against Lyra Valkyria at a live event, Jade suffered a torn ACL, and was sidelined for nine months approximately.[33] Jade returned from injury at NXT's CW premier on October 1, helping Roxanne Perez retain the NXT Women's Championship against Giulia.[34] At Halloween Havoc on October 27, Jade and Perez faced Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer in a tag team match in a losing effort.[35]
