Alexis Lete isn’t just calling out former NXT star Cora Jade—she’s opening up about the entire toxic culture she says existed inside WWE’s Performance Center.
During her appearance on the That One Time podcast, the former WWE recruit went deeper into her struggles, describing the environment as something straight out of a chaotic high school movie.
“It was high school times 20. I was like, ‘You guys, we’re adults. Like, what are we doing here? Why are we acting like this? What’s going on?’ And I’ve never been bullied. Like, I was bullied a little bit in college by my teammates, but I’d never been actually bullied before until I got there.”
Lete said the lines between wrestling personas and real life were constantly blurred, creating nonstop drama. She also admitted to dating someone during her short WWE stint but claimed the atmosphere was dominated by romantic entanglements and cliques.
“Everyone’s just like f**king and fighting… end of story, Cora Jade sucks, Roxanne Perez, sweetheart. So nice. But yeah, it’s incestrious.”
The impact didn’t stop when her WWE run ended. Lete revealed that the bullying and exclusion carried long-term effects, leaving her with depression and social anxiety.
“After WWE, yes, I had suffered from depression and I gained anxiety while I was in the WWE from, you know, obviously people talking about me and spreading rumors about me all the time. Uh, you develop anxiety about talking and meeting new people ‘cause you always think that they’re talking bad about you and coming up with fake stories.”
Her comments shine a harsh light on what life inside the Performance Center can be like for those who don’t fit in, and how quickly the mental toll can pile up behind the scenes.
