Cora Jade has been reunited with her long-time friend Roxanne Perez in NXT once again.
WWE NXT‘s Cora Jade recently sat down with Scott Fishman of TV Insider. When asked who helped her get ready to return to the ring, Jade named Roxanne Perez, CM Punk, Indi Hartwell, and Bayley.
“Me and Roxanne were always working together. She was always helping me,” Cora Jade said. “We trained with CM Punk. The three of us wanted to get better. He was coming off an injury, and I was coming off an injury. Roxanne just loves wrestling, so we were all working together. Indi Hartwell too, we all just love it.
“Bayley is one of my closest friends. She is incredibly talented and has so much experience. I’m so grateful to have her as a friend and mentor and someone I can look to for support and advice. Someone who knows things I don’t because she has been through it all. There’s a lot of pressure going on in the business at all times, so to have her has been a saving grace.”
When asked what it’s like being paired with Roxanne Perez again after their heated rivalry, Jade said their falling out has only made them stronger as best friends.
“I love working with her,” Cora Jade said. “We were kind of friends on the independents when we first came up. We had very similar stories of how we were big fans and started on the indies trying to make it to WWE. It made us gravitate toward each other. We had a little falling out, but all best friends do. It only made us stronger. She is killing it right now at the top of her game. She is levels above any other woman now, and I’m by her side. No complaints here.”
