During her latest match on WWE NXT, Cora Jade seemingly suffered an injury while facing Jordynne Grace.
The referee had to stop the match between Jade and Grace. Initially, it appeared to be a knee injury, as Jade slipped off the ring ropes. However, Jade cleared up the incident on X, formerly Twitter, after the show.
“Got rocked for a sec[,] but my knees are all good (decent [skull emoji]),” her post began. “Thanks for the concern.”
Prayers out to Cora 🙏 #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/c5XG08gj7w

Fightful Select also reported on the injury after it happened. They report that sources said it was a head injury, not a knee injury. That would make sense, given Jade's clarification. She got “rocked,” but her knees were unaffected.
The moment was scary, as the NXT star sat in the corner while being checked by WWE officials. The announcers speculated about what caused it in the moment.
“I don't know that I can chalk that up solely to nerves,” NXT announcer Corey Graves said. “You notice the brace on her left knee, and oftentimes, an athlete overcompensates with the opposite knee. I'm just hoping it's not something as severe as that.”
How serious is WWE NXT star Cora Jade's injury?
Luckily, Jade does not seem like she will miss much time following the injury scare. It is possible that she got the wind knocked out of her, and she is okay now.
Previously, Jade has had some bad injury luck. In January 2024, she tore her ACL during an untelevised NXT house show. That injury kept her out of action for nearly nine months.
