Cora Jade responds to bullying allegations from former WWE NXT recruit
The former Cora Jade has issued a response after being accused of bullying by a past colleague.
Alexis Lete — a model, social media personality, and former volleyball player — joined the WWE Performance Center in 2022 but was released the next year without ever making it to NXT. There was apparent friction between Lete and Jade & Roxanne Perez during her time at the Performance Center, which Lete addressed on a new episode of the That One Time podcast with Adam Metwally.
Lete said Perez is “such a sweet human” — but Lete thinks Perez felt like she couldn’t be nice to her anymore due to Perez and Jade being friends. Lete called Jade “really mean” and said Jade was one of her main bullies at the Performance Center, detailing a time where Jade wanted her to take down a TikTok video because Jade thought it was exposing the wrestling industry.
In a series of tweets today, Jade responded to Lete’s comments:
- I shouldn’t be giving this girl an ounce more of my energy but this will be the one and only time I speak on this and if you know you know- This girl came into the pc and immediately had heat with everyone for being disrespectful on more than one occasion.
- I texted this girl trying to HELP before her heat got worse (that had already travelled up to main roster before she even had a match). I’ll go ahead and post the screenshots myself. She chose to basically tell me to f*ck off and then continue to get heat for weeks. Only until multiple main roster talent members spoke to her as well, she decided to come up to me and apologize.
- I told her I appreciate the apology but I dont respect how she handles things and the ways she disrespects pro wrestling. I came from Indy wrestling, absolutely loved wrestling and was trying to carry on the love and respect that was there when I got there in black and gold. There is absolutely no respect for wrestling with people like this and it’s not my job to care about anymore. Which is exactly what is wrong with that entire place in general. I spoke to her maybe 5 times total [if] that. Blunt to a fault sometimes? Yes. But bullying is crazy.
Jade departed WWE this May when she was released during a round of roster cuts. She returned to the indies using the name Elayna Black after her release, before deciding last month to take a break from wrestling for the remainder of 2025 to focus on her mental health.
