WWE brought their final premium live event of the year with Deadline, and there were a few surprises. Fans expected to see Cora Jade end her long absence from the ring, and that is exactly what happened.
Blair Davenport won the Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge match, and that means she is next in line to face Lyra Valkyria for the NXT Women’s Title. After that big win, Lyra came out to stare her new challenger down.

Suddenly, Cora Jade showed up and clocked Lyra Valkyria from behind. She laid out the NXT Women’s Champion, and she picked up her title for good measure.
After Cora Jade posed with the NXT Women’s Title for a bit, they made it very clear on commentary that Cora Jade is back. This ends a very long hiatus from the ring.

Cora Jade’s last match took place on July 25, 2023, where she faced Dana Brooke in a Kendo Stick match. Dana Brooke won that match, and Jade walked out of the locker room a short time later. Dana Brooke was later released by WWE. Cora Jade isn’t getting that win back against Dana Brooke, but she may have her sights on a larger prize.
