Cora Jade\'s Recent Injury
Cora Jade and Lyra Valkyria faced each other in the main event, and regrettably, Jade fell to the mat at some point. This resulted in, what could be, a drastic change of plans for Shawn Michaels\' NXT booking.
We previously covered that Jade went down during an NXT live event, and she did not get up. This caused alarm as WWE\'s medical team tended to her in the ring.
Dave Meltzer has now updated fans to say that the former NXT Women\'s Tag Team Champion suffered an ACL tear. The severity of her tear was not noted.
The Cora Jade knee injury from the weekend house show we talked about on the show last night is an ACL tear.

Cora Jade & CM Punk
Cora Jade has a bright future in WWE, and she has some great connections in the company. Not only has she impressed many with her work ethic at this point, but she is also a favorite of CM Punk\'s.
While Jade was a WWE fan in her younger days, she was a huge fan of CM Punk and AJ Lee. Now, in her career as a WWE Superstar, she has a much different appreciation for everything they\'ve done.
Jade received a nice surprise from Punk while he stopped by NXT after his WWE return. The two got along very well, and the Second City Savior worked out with Cora Jade, and others, at the WWE Performance Center while he was around.
