Cora Jade was one of the popular names who was released from WWE last month. The 24-year-old made quite a name for herself in NXT, and fans were deeply invested in seeing her in the women's division. However, her sudden WWE release has cast a shadow over her future, and fans have been wondering what the former The Sorceress of Sin has been doing since then.
Well, Cora Jade has been quite active in the independent wrestling circuit following her WWE release. She has been working under the name Elayna Black and has been exploring other opportunities. The former NXT star has been booked by several independent promotions. She is set to battle Rachel Armstrong at Black Label Pro's event on June 14.
That was not all; Jade also announced her appearances for promotions such as Atomic Legacy Wrestling (ALW), Game Changer Wrestling (GCW), and Top Talent Wrestling (TTW). When it comes to her future ambitions, the 24-year-old has been quite vocal on social media, too. She has expressed her interest in joining All Elite Wrestling in the future.

The talented wrestler also teased exploring other ventures outside the wrestling realm, similar to Mandy Rose. She has been taking good care of her looks as well. But Jade implicitly revealed that her top priority would indeed remain her wrestling career, at least in the years to come. It will be interesting to see how things shape up for the former NXT star.
Was Cora Jade aware of her WWE release before the news broke?
Releases have become very common in WWE, but the thing that always becomes the talking point is how released superstars react to it once it happens. When it comes to Cora Jade, she stirred quite a controversy following her exit from the Stamford-based promotion.
During a recent appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show, the 24-year-old spoke about what she went through in WWE. She shed light on various aspects and her challenges, detailing how her time in WWE had been. However, the former NXT star revealed that she had a gut feeling that she was about to get released.
According to her, it developed after a conversation with a WWE figure in November 2024. While nothing much has been elucidated, Cora Jade seemingly had an intuition that her time in the global juggernaut was numbered. Unfortunately, her premonition ended up becoming a reality in May 2025.
Jade was one of the top stars in NXT. Fans were hoping to see her take over the division on the main roster. However, it never happened. It remains to be seen what the future holds for her.
