Jade suffered a torn ACL at an NXT house show in Dade City, Florida on January 12. On NXT the following Tuesday, the commentary team stated she was injured while wrestling Wren Sinclair, but it was actually during a match with Lyra Valkyria that Jade sustained the torn ACL.
Shortly after WWE confirmed Jade’s injury, she posted to X, “It is only after we’ve lost everything that we are free to do anything.”
Jade ended up missing the number one contender’s battle royal on the January 16 edition of NXT as a result of her injury. The match was won by Roxanne Perez, who will now go on to face Valkyria at Vengeance Day on February 4 in Clarksville, Tennessee.
