Cora Jade is speaking out following her WWE release, discussing how some people in the company body-shamed her.

In a move that surprised many fans of professional wrestling, WWE released Cora Jade in early May. That’s because Jade, at 24 years old, was on WWE television when she was just 19 and is somebody who likely has a bright future in the business.

After being released, Cora Jade took to social media to claim that she had been body-shamed by people within WWE.

During an appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show, the former Cora Jade spoke more about being body-shamed in WWE.

“I definitely think things could’ve went differently if it weren’t for certain things like the bodyshaming thing, I came in at 19 years old, I was like 110 pounds, I was so small.

It was constant comments, whether it was from guys who think they were being funny, or, I’m not gonna name names again, but I remember specifically being told that I wasn’t and wouldn’t be champion in that company because I looked like I couldn’t crack an egg — Multiple conversations about my body, which I don’t think anyone, especially as another man, should be saying that to a female, I was so young and it created a lot of issues for me body wise.

But obviously I gained so much muscle after that, I worked my ass off.”

Former Cora Jade Ready To Profit Off “Creeps”

Now that she has left WWE, Cora will use the name Elayna Black in the indies and whenever she decides to sign with another wrestling promotion.

There is some good news for fans of Jade/Black as well because she teased the launch of her new OnlyFans page, which she hopes will be a big money-making venture for her.

Btw it’s called being able to wrestle wherever I want and also now being able to profit off of you being creeps which you were going to do for free anyways!!! Get this, AT THE SAME TIME! 😘😘🤑🤑
