Jaida Parker is dealing with a neck injury.
The NXT star had been involved in a feud with Blake Monroe in recent times. The two had a match on last week's episode of the show, which ended in a draw with both women getting counted out. A brawl that followed saw Jaida getting the upper hand, but not before attacking a referee and a security guard.
This week's episode of the development show then featured a backstage segment with new Interim GM Robert Stone chatting with Women's Speed Champion Fallon Henley. Monroe rolled in asking about Parker, and Stone first claimed that she was suspended for her actions last week.
The NXT official, however, then revealed that Jaida Parker was actually out of action with a neck injury. When Henley reminded them both of her presence, Stone decided that Blake was the perfect candidate to fill in the last spot in the announced Speed tournament. A match between Blake Monroe and Thea Hail was then confirmed for the show next week.

The severity of Jaida's injury is not known, but the company's pivot of putting Monroe in the Speed tournament suggests that the female star will be out of action at least a few weeks. Stay tuned for more updates on her status.
