The March 4 episode of WWE NXT took an unexpected turn when Cora Jade suffered a scary in-ring injury, forcing officials to stop her match against Jordynne Grace.
Jade, who is set to challenge Masha Slamovich for the TNA Knockouts Championship at TNA Sacrifice, has been tangled in a heated rivalry with Grace. But during their NXT match, things went south fast.
Everything seemed normal at first, with Grace using her size and power to dominate the early moments. Jade found an opening after smashing Grace’s head off the middle turnbuckle, shifting the momentum in her favor. But during the commercial break, disaster struck—Jade slipped on the rope and immediately clutched her knee while sitting on the turnbuckle.
By the time the broadcast returned, the mood had shifted dramatically. WWE officials and medical staff surrounded Jade as the NXT Arena fell silent. It was clear this wasn’t scripted—Jade looked visibly distressed, and officials made the call to end the match, giving Grace the victory.
This latest scare is especially concerning given Jade’s past ACL injury. Before her rise in NXT, she suffered a torn ACL, which required months of rehab before she could return to the ring. While it’s unclear if her latest injury is related, the fact that she immediately grabbed her knee has fans worried that history could be repeating itself.
This injury comes at a terrible time for Jade, who was gearing up for a major TNA title match. With NXT Roadblock right around the corner, her status remains unclear, and the wrestling world is now waiting for an update.
