Cora Jade is back, as she made her return on WWE NXT.
The October 1 episode of WWE NXT marked the brand’s CW Network premiere, and it began with a buzzworthy bout. Roxanne Perez defended the NXT Women’s Championship against Giulia, who had set her sights on Perez upon her debut at NXT No Mercy.
Perez and Giulia battled back and forth in a thrilling match. In the closing moments, Giulia was seemingly on the verge of victory when a hooded individual ran in and attacked Giulia. Perez capitalized and hit Pop Rox to clinch the victory and the successful defense. The hooded individual then revealed herself to be Cora Jade.
Jade had been sidelined with a torn ACL since January. She suffered the injury at a live event on January 12, and she later had surgery. Perez and Jade are former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions together. They also had a heated rivalry after Jade turned on Perez. It was unclear whether her interference on the October 1 episode of WWE NXT was meant to help Perez or just prevent Giulia from winning.
