WWE Superstar Natalya opened up on working with Cora Jade
WWE RAW Superstar Natalya recently discussed training with Cora Jade and the challenges in the latter's personal life.
In an interview with TMZ Sports, The Queen of Harts said she appreciated Jade's enthusiasm for pro wrestling. She added that the former NXT Tag Team Champion went through a tough time after her mother's passing but was bound to shine in the future:
"With Jade, she said, 'Hey, I would love to come and work with you.' I was like, 'Oh my God, I would love that.' (...) I love her enthusiasm. I love how excited she is about jumping into this. I know she's gone through a lot; her mom just passed away recently, so it's a very hard time for her in her life. (...) Sometimes, you need somebody to believe in you. I believe in Jade, I think she's going to be awesome." [From 14:30 to 15:42]
