Elayna Black (Cora Jade) Had A Creative Meeting Two Days Before Her Release, Feels Like She Was Gaslighted
Elayna Black had a creative meeting just two days before her release from WWE.
On May 1, Elayna Black, the former Cora Jade, was released from WWE alongside other names like Dakota Kai, Shayna Baszler, Braun Strowman, and Gigi Dolin.
The release ended Jade’s four year stint with the company, as she signed her deal back in January 2021.
In a new interview with Chris Van Vliet, Cora Jade said that she had a gut feeling that her release was coming, despite the fact that she had a creative meeting just two days before she got the call.
“I feel like, overall, yes. But if you had asked me, just because of my intuition, in those like few weeks leading up to it, I would have said no. I kind of felt that it was coming, again, not because something specific had happened. It was just that gut feeling. But I feel like, overall, I was a little bit surprised. Because two days prior to my release, I had went in and had a meeting with said person two days before and I had given so many ideas. I had set aside my personal feelings for this person, given so many ideas, was very professional, we had what I felt like was a great conversation. He’s pulling out his laptop, typing all these ideas, basically gaslighting me, and then two days later I get fired. So it was like, why even do that? Why have me give you all these ideas? You asked me to come in for this meeting. I had asked to have a meeting prior, but you asked me to come in on that day, at that time, typing in all these ideas. And then two days later, you can’t even respond to a text.”
Elsewhere in a seperate interview, Cora Jade recalled competing in a Muay Thai fight and bonding with CM Punk over her loss. Check out her full comments by clicking here.
