Jaida Parker’s WWE Television Absence Explained

Jaida Parker hasn’t been seen on WWE TV since October 7, 2025, when she competed in a #1 Contender’s Battle Royal on NXT. Fans have been wondering where she’s been—and now we’ve finally got an update.

Speaking on The Hump, Sean Ross Sapp was asked directly about Parker’s status—and cleared up the speculation. Sapp explained that while fans often assume talent disappearing means a main roster call-up or injury, that’s not always the case.

He noted that Jaida Parker was competing in NXT live events a few weeks ago, so she’s clearly not injured. He added that Parker has also been at the WWE Performance Center.

“It used to be that when people would disappear like this, you’d assume they were going up to the main roster, but that’s just not the case anymore. Sometimes they’re just getting freshened up, which is the case with her. She was on live events a few weeks ago, so it’s not an injury. She’s been at the PC.”

So, the reason for Parker’s absence isn’t bad news—it’s just part of WWE’s plan to give her a breather and possibly tweak her character or presentation before bringing her back to TV.

That said, Jaida hasn’t stayed silent when it comes to her haters. On an episode of Going Ringside, she addressed online hate with confidence, brushing off trolls who questioned her worth.

“Like half the things people say online, they would not say to us to our face. So if that’s the case, why would I even have to respond to you if you don’t even pay any of my bills? I don’t even know you. But you know me—and that’s all that matters. You know my name. I don’t even know yours.”

With Parker staying active at the PC and refusing to let online noise define her, it seems like WWE is just waiting for the right time to reintroduce her. A repackaging? A major push? Time will tell.
