23-year-old WWE Superstar suffers serious injury - Reports
A 23-year-old WWE Superstar reportedly suffered a very serious injury over the weekend. As it's WrestleMania season, the timing couldn't be much worse.
Cora Jade was absent from WWE television for months following her loss to former superstar Dana Brooke on the July 25 edition of NXT. Brooke was released by the promotion in September and made her debut for TNA Wrestling this past Saturday night at Hard to Kill.
Jade returned to WWE television last month and competed against NXT Women's Champion Lyra Valkyria at a live event over the weekend. The event occurred at the Dade City Armory in Florida, and Jade reportedly suffered a significant injury.
According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, Cora Jade suffered a torn ACL during her match against Valkyria. The former NXT Women's Tag Team Champion will be out of action for the foreseeable future as she recovers from the tear.
