Cora Jade returned to WWE television just a few weeks ago from an undisclosed hiatus and now she has been forced to head onto another one that might last for the next year. The injury scare that broke out around her turned out to be a legit one and she had to undergo surgery to fix things up. Now, there would be a long road to discovery.
The injury scare broke out during the January 12, 2024, WWE NXT live event around Cora Jade who had to be pulled out of a match. The recently returned star was having a match with the NXT Women’s Champion Lyra Valkyria in the main event that had to be stopped due to the challenger suffering an injury and requesting to stop the match.

Unfortunately, those momentums have been cut short as she might not get a chance to return for this entire year.
