Things just got messy in the world of WWE NXT, and this time it’s not about championships—it’s personal.

On April 1, Thea Hail posted a seemingly innocent photo dump on Instagram, but it didn’t take fans long to notice something that instantly flipped the vibe. Front and center in several photos? Cora Jade’s ex, Harlem Lewis.

Fans already suspected something was up after Cora and Harlem unfollowed each other and wiped their feeds of all relationship content. But now, with Thea openly sharing pics featuring Harlem and commenting on his private Instagram account, it’s no longer just quiet whispers—it’s a full-on firestorm.

In one of Harlem’s private posts, Thea commented, “BRUH WHY YOU GOTTA REMIND ME ABOUT MY HAT,” under a photo that featured her. That one line was enough to send the internet into a tailspin, with one fan firing back directly at her in the comments: “@theahail_wwe you’re a homewrecker, Cora Jade owns you 😂.”

And Cora Jade? She didn’t stay silent either. The NXT star took to her Instagram story shortly after and posted a new photo of herself, captioned with savage lyrics from Bhad Bhabie’s diss track “OG Crashout”:

“I don’t know who gassed these bitches up, but somethin’ needa be said.
How this bitch think she ate? She just another bitch that I fed.
Why you all in that man face, and my pussy’s still on his breath?”

No names. No explanation. But everyone knew exactly what she was talking about.

Twitter exploded with reactions. One fan tweeted, “Thea Hail snatching up Cora’s man is not something I had on my NXT 2025 bingo card.” Another added, “You mean to tell me Cora broke up with her man and now he’s dating Thea Hail??? The PC spawns more in-house relationships than a restaurant omg.”

The jokes kept coming. One tweet read, “Harlem Lewis finding out Thea Hail’s not on TV anymore because Cora banished her to Shawntanamo Bay is actually insane.” Another user chimed in with, “Normally I don’t like mixing professional and private lives, but NXT should absolutely burn a Thea Hail vs. Cora Jade feud just for the vibes.”

Not everyone was Team Cora though. One person came in hot with, “Cora keeps getting passed around every year or less is the only highlight of her career. But um… Thea > Cora.”

Another fan, clearly shocked by the drama, tweeted, “Woah woah woah!!! What??? Thea is dating Cora’s ex???? 😲” while another practically screamed across the timeline, “What’s this about Harlem Lewis cheating on Cora Jade with Thea Hail????????!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!”

One fan summed it up perfectly: “Apparently Thea is dating Cora’s ex so Cora is choosing to be messy about it. That’s the rumor anyway.”

And to top it all off, someone dropped a still from Scary Movie of a woman mid-gasp with popcorn in hand and simply wrote, “Me watching the Cora Jade and Thea Hail drama unfold.”

As of this writing, no one involved has made an official statement—but the unfollows, deleted photos, shady captions, and fan reactions have turned this into the juiciest drama in NXT right now. And while it’s still just speculation, the internet isn’t letting go anytime soon.

Should WWE lean into this real-life tension and bring it to TV? Would you be here for a Cora Jade vs. Thea Hail feud born straight out of Instagram drama? Sound off in the comments and let us know if this is the tea you didn’t know you needed.
