Cora Jade recently returned from a serious knee injury, but she got advice from one of her favorite WWE Superstars growing up to get through it.
WWE NXT‘s Cora Jade recently sat down with Scott Fishman of TV Insider. When asked about getting a serious knee injury so early in her career, Jade said it was a very confusing process overall.
“It was a very confusing process overall. The physical aspect is one thing, but it’s mostly all mental,” Cora Jade said. “Wondering if my spot will still be there when I come back. Am I still going to have that confidence? All that stuff.
“Being as young as I am, I feel like it was also a good thing to have that on my side because, in the back of my head, I thought, “You still have time. This is just an injury. You’ll be fine.” I was a big Seth Rollins fan when I was younger. I remember watching his whole knee injury recovery on the WWE 24 documentary. I had an idea what to expect from that. All the greats had knee injuries.”
Seth Rollins talked to Cora Jade about the knee rehab process
When asked if she used Seth Rollins as a resource to get her through this knee injury, Jade said she talked with Rollins about the whole process and that Shawn Michaels helped out as well.
“I talked to Seth Rollins a little bit when he was here [in Orlando] rehabbing his knee kind of the same time I was rehabbing mine. I talked to him about the whole process,” Cora Jade said. “I exploded my entire knee, the same as he did. It was nice to have that conversation with him. Someone who has been through it.
“He is miles ahead of me and had a great career since that knee injury. So it’s good motivation to look at someone who had a similar injury and has done so much since then. It has been motivating to still be around the WWE Performance Center and my coaches. People I used to grow up watching are now my colleagues, which has been amazing. Just being around Shawn Michaels and the environment during the injury has been good for me. Now I’m back and healthy.”
