WWE has released a number of notable names in recent months and it was confirmed in May that Cora Jade had been let go. Cora Jade is now officially a free agent, and she’s been opening up about her experience with WWE.
Recently Cora Jade appeared on the Ariel Helwani Show, and she claimed that she was told she would never be champion because she looked like she couldn’t crack an egg.
“I definitely think things could’ve went differently if it weren’t for certain things like the bodyshaming thing, I came in at 19 years old, I was like 110 pounds, I was so small.
It was constant comments, whether it was from guys who think they were being funny, or, I’m not gonna name names again, but I remember specifically being told that I wasn’t and wouldn’t be champion in that company because I looked like I couldn’t crack an egg.
Multiple conversations about my body, which I don’t think anyone, especially as another man, should be saying that to a female, I was so young and it created a lot of issues for me body wise. But obviously I gained so much muscle after that, I worked my a** off.”
Following her release Cora Jade is moving forward using the name Elayna Black. She has been confirmed for several upcoming appearances on the independent scene in the months to come, so it looks like it’s going to be a busy summer for the former WWE star.
Stay tuned for updates.
