Jazz is officially back in WWE—this time, not as a competitor, but as a full-fledged coach helping mold the future of the business.
The former WWE Women’s Champion took to her Instagram and announced on February 13, 2026, that she’s officially joined the WWE Performance Center’s coaching staff.
“Giving God all the Glory! I can officially say as of 2026 I’m now a part of the coaching staff at the @wwenxt Performance Center! Professional wrestling has been my life for 30 yrs. Now I get to work with the next generation of Superstars! I’m a true testament of never giving up. No matter how long the process may seem!”
The announcement follows reports from PWInsider back in 2025 that Jazz would return to the Performance Center as a guest coach. At the time, sources within NXT revealed her first stint had received “really good feedback,” leading WWE to bring her back for another round. That guest role has now turned into a permanent position.
Although Jazz stepped away from full-time in-ring competition several years ago, she has remained active. In 2025, she appeared in a TNA battle royal and later competed in a six-person tag match in Texas alongside her husband, Rodney Mack.
Now, Jazz brings three decades of experience, grit, and no-nonsense intensity to WWE’s developmental system—working hands-on with the next generation of Superstars in Orlando.
