NXT star Cora Jade is not going to miss any significant ring time after an injury scare on this week’s WWE NXT.
Jade’s match against Jordynne Grace was stopped early due, with Grace declared the winner, due to her being unable to continue. The incident scare occurred when Jade was backed into the corner by Grace. She communicated with the referee, who immediately indicated there was a legitimate injury.
She was tended to by WWE officials and medical staff and the show went to commercial break. When the broadcast returned from commercial, the NXT Arena was silent, and it was clear this was not part of the scripted show.
After the show, Jade checked in with a tweet explaining that she got “rocked for a sec,” but did not suffer another knee injury despite initial fears. She thanked fans for their concern, and will likely be undergoing concussion protocol testing.
A video of the spot right before the match stopped makes it seem like Jade hit her head on the turnbuckle. Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful also confirmed that Cora’s injury was related to her head:
