WWE Hall of Famer claims Cora Jade reminds him of AJ Lee

Cora Jade made her much-anticipated return from injury at WWE NXT Deadline after almost five months on the sidelines. Unfortunately, the 23-year-old suffered another setback during her singles match against Lyra Valkyria at a live event at Dade City Armory in Florida on January 12, as she tore her ACL.

During an episode of his Hall of Fame Podcast, former World Champion Booker T praised Cora Jade for her ability to stand out from the rest. The 58-year-old claimed that her unapologetic demeanor reminded him of AJ Lee:

“The thing with Cora is you could tell she’s a star. She’s going to be a player in the business. Even once she gets to the main roster, there’s something about Cora that just stands out. She’s different than most of the girls on the roster. She reminds me of AJ Lee so much. She reminds me of that firecracker that was just herself and unapologetic. [Jade is an] ‘I’m going to go out and do it like this, whether you like it or not’ type of girl," he said.

Booker T further revealed that Jade had always been one of his favorites:

“So, I’m glad Cora’s back, because she’s always been one of my favorites. Of course, everybody needs to work on certain things. I can’t wait to get her under my tutelage a little bit, get her on a film study one day, and work with her. She does a lot of things so well, but there’s always certain things you can work on.”

Following her ACL tear in January, Cora Jade underwent surgery and is expected to return in seven to eight months from the date of surgery. It will be interesting to see what the company has in store for her following her return to in-ring action.
