Elayna Black (Cora Jade) Reveals She Nearly Died Due To An Ectopic Pregnancy
Former WWE NXT star Elayna Black, known as Cora Jade, nearly lost her life in 2023 due to an ectopic pregnancy. Jade was off WWE NXT TV between January and April 2023. In an interview on The Ariel Helwani Show, she revealed that her absence resulted from a serious medical emergency. 'In January of 2023 it was like the very late January, I was supposed to wrestle Lyra Valkyria on TV on Tuesday, and long story short. I'll spare you the details long story short, I ended up in emergency surgery in the hospital the night before. Literally almost dying and bleeding out. Because I had had an ectopic pregnancy that had failed and it exploded and, like, made me internally bleed.' Black says she was rushed into emergency surgery so she didn't bleed out. She noted that she was worried about making it to her match the next day. In hindsight, she is thankful she went to the hospital. After an 11-hour wait, doctors realized she needed immediate surgery. 'So what had happened was, I had, I don't know if you're familiar with the IUD birth control. It's inserted in you, it's like a 99.9% success rate. But they warn you beforehand, 'cause it's like a 5-year thing, so you're, like, protected for 5 years. But they warn you of ectopic pregnancies beforehand. Which, if you're not, or anyone else isn't familiar, it's where, like, the egg is implanted outside of the uterus, in the fallopian tube and that causes the fallopian tube to explode.' 'Obviously, you internally bleed, and it's very, extremely life-threatening obviously to the baby or whatever it was, but to the woman. So I was always scared of that in general, 'cause I have health anxiety anyway. So I was always worried about that so I kind of again, my intuition, I was like, this I know what's happening. Like, I got to go.' 'So we did that, had the emergency surgery. They ended up having to remove my left fallopian tube because it was that bad. And then I was just, I was just bummed about missing Stand & Deliver. Like, I was like, I can't miss like, I cannot miss Stand & Deliver. But then, like, after that, I felt like I guess nothing has ever happened like that to me before. I never realized, like, the effects of it and stuff like that. So, like, after I came back, like, those few months, I was just the most mentally depressed I have ever been in my entire life.'

Released Wrestler Nearly Died After Health Scare In WWE
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Elayna Black, known to WWE fans as Cora Jade until her release last month, has shared details of a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy she suffered in January 2023 while part of the NXT roster. The former NXT Women's Tag Team Champion opened up about the traumatic experience during a recent appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show this week. Black, who WWE released on May 2, 2025, recalled how the medical emergency unfolded. It was the night before a scheduled match against Lyra Valkyria. "In January of 2023, I was supposed to wrestle Lyra Valkyria on Tuesday, and long story short, I ended up in emergency surgery in the hospital the night before, literally almost dying and bleeding out because I had an ectopic pregnancy that had failed and exploded," she revealed. Despite sensing something was seriously wrong, Black's initial instinct was to try and compete. She explained she was "thinking I just have to get through the match tomorrow."

STAMFORD, CONNECTICUT - JANUARY 28: A WWE logo shines from the WWE wrestling world headquarters on January 28, 2024 in Stamford, Connecticut. WWE founder Vince McMahon resigned from the WWE and its parent company TKO as executive chairman and board of directors following allegations of sexual assault in a Connecticut lawsuit. A former employee Janel Grant accused McMahon, 78, of sexual assault and sexually trafficking her. More She described the period following her return to NXT as deeply challenging: "After I came back those few months I was just the most mentally depressed I have ever been in my life." Before signing with WWE in 2021 and becoming Cora Jade, Black made a brief appearance on AEW Dark in 2020 and had also appeared for TNA. Since her WWE release, Black has been actively signaling her next chapter. She recently posted a video to social media captioned "Dear Cora 6/14/25 ⏳," referencing her old WWE ring name. Upon her release, she shared a reflective social media post which drew supportive comments. This included a post from WWE star CM Punk, who replied, "Dream chaser. Turn it to gold." In her Helwani interview, Black also stated that she would be interested in joining AEW, citing their creative freedom. AEW may be the right landing spot for her, considering that she is still so young and could use the rival promotion as a launching pad for her career on a short-term basis. A one or two-year deal would be something she could use greatly to her benefit and perhaps make her way to WWE one day if she impresses enough.
