Ex-WWE Star’s New Name Revealed Ahead Of First Match Post-Departure
Jakara Jackson was an active member of the NXT roster from 2021 to 2025.
Earlier in May, she was one of the wrestlers released by WWE, which included Dakota Kai, Braun Strowman, Shayna Baszler, and Cora Jade.
She made her NXT debut in a tag team match alongside Lash Legend against Katana Chance and Kayden Carter in a losing cause.
In mid-2023, Jackson and Legend would align themselves with Oro Mensah and Naom Dar, forming The Meta-Four stable. She competed as part of the stable until her release.
Post-release, Jackson, real name Jamara Sade, took to her YouTube channel to express her gratitude for her time in WWE.
Thanks to her in-ring talent, it didn’t take Jackson long to find herself booked again.
