Cora Jade, a rising star in WWE, has recently suffered a devastating injury that could keep her out of action for up to a year. The 23-year-old wrestler, who has been a prominent figure on the company's NXT brand for the past three years, sustained a torn ACL at an untelevised show on January 12th in Dade City, Florida. She was competing against NXT Women's Champion Lyra Valkyria and had to be helped backstage after the brutal injury.
On Tuesday night's episode of NXT, commentator Vic Joseph confirmed the news of Jade's injury, revealing that she could be out of action for close to a year. Jade herself shared a photo on social media, showing her leg in a brace and a crutch by her side, along with a powerful quote from the movie Fight Club. Quoting the character Tyler Durden, played by Brad Pitt, she wrote, "It is only after we've lost everything that we are free to do anything."
This injury comes as a blow to Jade, who only recently returned to NXT last month after a four-month absence. She had "left" the show as part of a storyline in August and made her comeback at the NXT Deadline premium live event on December 9th. Unfortunately, her return was short-lived due to this latest injury.
Jade's injury adds to WWE's current crisis, as many other top stars are also on the sidelines. This includes former champion Charlotte Flair, who recently underwent surgery for a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus. Seth Rollins, the World Heavyweight Champion, may also be facing an injury after reportedly being helped backstage and limping following Monday Night Raw. Other stars across all three brands, such as Braun Strowman, Erik from Viking Raiders, and Liv Morgan, have also faced setbacks due to injuries.
Even former NXT North American Champion Wes Lee had to relinquish his title in order to undergo surgery for leg issues. It's a tough time for WWE, but they continue to put on shows and entertain fans, even in the face of these challenges.

And as Natalya recently shared a gruesome photo showing the "lifestyles of a lady wrestler," it's clear that being a professional wrestler is not without its risks.
Triple H, one of the top executives in WWE, also shared an emotional message with the crew after putting on a show "incredibly tough" circumstances. It just goes to show the dedication and resilience of everyone involved in the world of professional wrestling.
