Elayna Black

[7.0] "Great look, perfectly acceptable heel work, average wrestler (for her promotion's talent levels), fine promos, not sure what else to add. She's kind of your typical mean girl heel wrestler but she lacks the power, athleticism, charisma or high level technical skills to really stand out in a massive way, but to be fair very few wrestlers even come close to meeting that bar to begin with. She's a solid mid carder heel, but not much more yet. She's still young. I wasn't sure how to rate her but anything lower than a 4 or higher than a 8 wouldn't feel quite right to me. She could benefit from a strong finisher."

[7.0] "A good fit on the knockouts roster. TNA needed a heel who can stand up promos and get heat from the crowd, most of people on TNA need more personality, they are just bland, Elayna can improve in the ring but it factor its something that this company has to develop."

[0.0] "The absoloute worst imo. Not one thing stands out about her to me. She seems more focused on her look than her wrestling, promos, and storytelling. I haven't seen any of those from her ever. Her program with Roxanne wasn't what it could've been because she's just not good. She's a bad heel and Babyface. I obviously feel a bit bad since injures have plagued her but I'm just not one who's impressed with her work at all."

[7.0] "I think I'm higher up on Cora Jade than most. She wasn't incredible but I liked her attitude and she had pretty good matches against the right opponents. Wish they explored her and Roxanne Perez as a tag team more."

[4.0] "On paper, Cora seemed like a safe bet - great look, cared about the business, had friends in high places, but that wasn't enough to overcome everything else that was working against her - she was injury prone, never really improved much as a worker, and she always felt like someone just playing the role of a wrestler. Of course, this is why she was in NXT, but after four years, it was clear that call up was never happening. She's still young and it could always come together for her later down the line, but that would depend on her ever wrestling again, and I don't think many expect that to happen. She's found a much less painful way to make a living."

[8.0] "I think shes great, baddass and great apeal. Totally wasted by WWE to let her go, that said I hope she moves around to abit and/or goes to another brand to develop, Im sure she will go back to WWE eventially where they can hopefully find a story and the push for her. Right now NXT is stacked with a great womens devision, so maybe that was part of the thinking as she needed/wanted that push they couldnt give."

[3.0] "Good promo, good look, pretty bad wrestler. I think she used to be average but the injuries affected her performance a lot (understandably). She is still young and there is some potential, so this rating could go up eventually, but right now a 3 seems correct."

[10.0] "WWE really wasted a crystal-clear talent. Just look at her performances outside of Stamford to understand that. She is an excellent talker and a great wrestler in the ring who simply needed time to recover from her injury. In fact, while returning from her injury, she had been more than good, with great performances in tag team matches alongside Roxanne and in the Fatal 4 Way at Vengeance Day. I don't know if she will do as well as Toni Storm, but I am pretty sure that WWE will regret her a lot in the coming years."

"7.0 I sort of like her...If there was a good thing her character in the independents was better than what she did in WWE, she was misused there anyway."

[7.0] "Man, only the Fed could let a treasure like this go because their purse is too full. Unbelievable the things that fall off of rich men's cars! I only saw this girl a handful of times and I'm buying what she's selling. Book her. GCW is more than we dirt-bags deserve. She is a Star. What's the ETA on her (ironically) getting WWE ID? She's too good for ROH. She's too young to waste. Stardom? MLW? She is a hot property. Her phone will be burning up. I hope she picks the very best dates because I'd like to think the Fed cast her out because she needs to go on 'excursion'. Sometimes you need to be cast out before you're locked in and the hardest gems need the roughest sanding. She been a Jade and outside, she's black. Inside, I see hints of Amethyst and Opal."

[5.0] "Great promo and very charismatic, but isn't good in the ring and VERY injury prone. Still young, so hopefully she proves people wrong in TNA or AEW and gets back to WWE, with bigger salary. She's too young to completely give up on yet... only a 5 now because of ring skills and injuries."

"Sadly she seems to be an injury prone wrestler. I'm entertained by how she has become. A great heel, with her build, she can stand on her own as a single wrestler. Hopefully no more injuries so she can show how great she is."

[5.0] "Cora's star seems to have dimmed a bit over the past couple of years. While her in-ring skills are just adequate, there have been noticeable improvements in her promo work--though it's still not groundbreaking. Her appearance certainly adds to her appeal, but it can only take her so far in this competitive landscape."

[7.0] "I'm proud of her fr, she improved, while she isn't perfect or even good, but she went from being terrible to being decent, since her return to this day, she didn't have any bad performance in all her matches, she also improved in the mic too, hopefully she improved more, last time I said "maybe soon I'll rise her rating", and I'm doing so now, from 6 to 7"

[7.0] "I love Cora jade what is this? Why is everyone slandering Cora jade lol. She has awesome promo skills and is good in the ring. Better than most 80's wrestlers like lol cmon guys she is a good wwe superstar. I was thinking she would be in the rumble this year"

"Pretty good but she is being pushed too far above her level maybe coz she is friends with Roxenne or so"

[7.0] "I'll edit this, I misjudged Cora, obviously for not showing much progress in the ring, but this year she has stood out a lot with her character and quality in the ring, I hope she wins something this year, with all the injuries she has suffered, she has been able to stay on his feet"

[7.0] "Cora has let me down since turning heel. Thought she was the next big star as a face and has been hit badly with injuries and ill-suited character work. Unlike Roxanne, who is better in ring and can work babyface or heel excellently, she's just not hit the heights I was hoping despite being capable in the ring and a decently entertaining presence. I hope she really regains some earlier momentum because I do really like seeing her still."

[7.0] "I'm not going to blow smoke, but I'm also not going to be unfair. Cora Jade is not a bad wrestler, and anyone who's says she is. They've never been in a wrestling ring before, and have no idea what they're talking about. Yes she's injury prone and yes she makes mistakes, but people seem to have this misconception. That wrestlers need to be absolutely perfect or else they suck. In a perfect world. That may be fair but it's not. You are expecting way too much of her. She's still young and she's most definitely taking it easy to prevent getting injured again. So I'm going to confidently give her a seven. She's pretty good, but with some more time in the ring. She can get better. I just wish people would stop expecting so much out of her. Especially since she just recently came back from an injury, and let's also not forget. NXT is a developmental brand. I don't see her moving up with Roxanne and see her staying down in NXT for a little while. So she can do some improving and of course. She has plenty of time for that. And another thing... If they're opponents are giving them props and praises then chances are... Maybe it's not them. Maybe it's you so called "fans" being way too critical for no reason."

[5.0] "Quite-frankly, my stock on Cora has dropped significantly. With history of injuries, it hinder her progress & whilst doing her best to keep up with a stacked NXT/WWE Women's Roster. I fear it'll be awhile for her to each such status as her contemporaries such as Roxanne but in due time we'll see."

[6.0] "Good look but that's about all so far. I've never been particularly impressed by her matches. Perhaps things will eventually click for her but I think a lot of the other NXT ladies are moving ahead of her."

[8.0] "Cora Jade's return in 2024 was noteworthy, especially as a strong ally to Roxanne during her World Title reign. Her support added depth to Roxanne's journey, showcasing their chemistry outside of the ring. With a 7.99/10 rating, Cora demonstrated her potential for even greater impact ahead!"

[6.0] "I'm definitely open to this rating going up in the future because it's already near the 6-7 border. She's been better on the mic than she is in the ring for a while, but she's also been stepping it up in the ring since coming back from her injury. She especially looked solid in the recent Fatal Four Way. She's young and will continue to improve as long as she stays clear of more big injuries."

[8.0] "Back on August 28th, 2022, I gave this woman a 7 out of 10 on here. However, I want to give Cora Jade an 8 out of 10 since shes a pretty good all-around star who can only add further to the division rather than doing the exact opposite. Cora can be really good on the mic, and she is a compelling character in the womens division since she is always a prominent star no matter how she is booked or presented on the card. Cora also possesses plenty of charisma since she can connect with the crowd no matter if she is a face or a heel (although she is a better heel though). Cora may not be an in-ring general, but she is a solid enough wrestler who is capable of working good matches (although she DOES excel more in tag matches & multi-woman matches). Cora is a top favorite mine on the NXT division, so I sincerely believe that giving her AT LEAST an 8 here is long overdue."

[8.0] "She's not the greatest in ring worker, but she adds a lot to her segments with mic work when given the chance to rip into things. Give her a shot. Her team with Roxanne is gonna make her soar. She's come so far from her days of whiffing her skateboard break when turning heel."

[10.0] "I think during the 2.0 era of NXT she was really the face, and they tried to make her the face of NXT but didnt give her the title. I think shes great in the ring and really good on the mic and good as a heel. Sad that she gets injured a lot, and has to return to get injured again to return again, but now she seems great. I think she should have won the title Sooner, and i honestly think she should take the championship away from Roxanne after all this Stephanie and Giulia thing is over. They can make Cora the Face of NXT just like how they did with Roxanne."

[4.0] "I've seen people compare her to Sasha Banks/Mercedes Mone and I just don't see it. She has a unique look and is a decent personality but she's far too injury prone at this point."

[5.0] "Yeah no, she's not very good. Still a 5 because she does have charisma and a great look but she shouldn't be near the top women's in the division."

[4.0] "Way too injury prone so I dont see her ever getting anything big, but also Ive never been sold on her. Her wrestling is aggressively okay. Shes not bad on the mic but much like the problem Roxanne has, she tries way too hard to be someone else instead of just focusing on being her."

[7.0] "At first, I felt like Cora Jade was going to be the next big thing in NXT, but at the current moment, I can't really see that happening ever since she just becomes injured too much, so it completely halts the potential progression. I do enjoy her work at times, but at times it might come across as meh. Solid promos at times and a solid wrestler."

[4.0] "Not a very interesting performer, she used to be a unique performer with her original gimmick, something, if not fresh, outstanding for a bit, she later just turned into some kind of Mandy Rose goth clone. Nice finisher I guess, but out of that nothing else stands from her but her looks."

[7.0] "Cora is rising rapidly in terms of talent and gimmick work as well. She was struggling to solidify her skater girl gimmick but this new gimmick as the daughter of AJ is settling in nicely and the future for Cora is bright so long as we can get these injuries at bay so the real progression can start!"

[7.0] "Her mic game is really good and you can just tell she is more in her element as a heel. She is decent in the ring but of course there is room for improvement her theme is also a banger she has a bright future no doubt"

[4.0] "She's decent on mic but awful in the ring. Fortunately she is just 22 and she can only improve. I think she is a good babyface and right now as a heel it feels like she is trying to be someone else."

[4.0] "Shes not really for the spotlight. They tried to force the reign but she was quickly phased out by more athletic and charismatic talent in NXT. Reminds me of indi hartwell kind of lost but they will prob keep her around for looks."

[3.0] "She started out as one of the top faces in the women's division of NXT 2.0, but it was clear she was not ready for that spot as they would not put her in big singles matches. Her heel turn was poorly executed and since then she has been subpar as she is not convincing with anything she does."

"I dont understand the low rating. Not long ago wasnt Cora Jade supposed to be one of the next big it girls to get called up? I think her rating should be higher. She has done great with this heel turn. I think she will do big things."

"Cora Jade is one of My favorites , I love this Heel turn she has going on , Hands down one of the Pillars of NXT 2.0" Women's Division"

[7.0] "I like her, i think she can become better in the future. Now she's still pretty green and mediocre in the ring. I'm not a fan of the current "resident-mean girl" character, i preferred her as a face but Roxanne Perez came and took her place because she's just better, no offense."

[7.0] "She's good on the mic and pretty good in the ring aswell. She's just 22 so I feel she will get better within the next few years. She has already made a name for herself with the short time she has been in WWE."

[4.0] "I used to like her in the beginning back in the indies, but the more I see of her, the more I think she can't really be original and she's more of a copycat of her favourite wrestlers (Mox, Punk, AJ). At this point it's pretty annoying that she constantly tries to make the same facial expressions and overall tries to be a new version of AJ Lee. With her recent NXT promo, she used two lines that CM Punk and AJ used back in the day, even said them with the same tone Punk and AJ did. And I know that nowadays it is hard to have a completely unique moveset, but she literally just has the moves her favs did. Sometimes she does something new but then she's just back to using the signature moves of one the three mentioned above. As of now, I only see her as wanting to be a "not like other girls" kinda girl with very little originality. Even her skater gimmick was based on how she wasn't like the other girls but she didn't even seem to want to learn a little skating at all. She obviously has passion for wrestling and is talented, so I hope that she will find herself and stops mimicking."

[5.0] "She's been steadily improving lately, I would still consider her one of the weaker wrestlers on the roster, but she's definetly a lot better than when she started and I definetly think she's a better fit as a heel"

[6.0] "Cora Jade is coming into her own. I feel she was pushed a little too hard early on in her NXT career. Since her heel turn she has been improving on the mic and and in the ring. She will get outshined by the more athletic girls NXT is bringing in but her heel work will keep her the mix. I can see her having a Liv Morgan type career. She is young so time is on her side."

[8.0] "I love Cora Jade not gonna lie, she has such a potential, she's still young but her matches, her promo skills even are decent, she has it."

[6.0] "Last year I said "Cora definitely has potential - She's athletic and charismatic, and she seems willing to do whatever's asked of her. Unfortunately, she's just not there yet, and shining such a spotlight on her is highlighting that. I'll be more than happy to return here in a year or two and bump this up, but not yet. And for the love of god, lose the skateboard! :. Well, she lost the skateboard, and I'm back to raise her score. I think she still has plenty of room to grow, but I don't feel at all like she's reached her full potential. I'll come back in another year and see if this can tick up another notch."

[6.0] "He has a good microphone and that's something WWE likes, but he needs to improve in the ring. For now, this assessment is the most positive thing I can give."

[5.0] "A good prmo who feels like she might be a star her in ring work is not good tho it not the worst.at leastbshe has a lot of time to get better"

[10.0] "great look, solid on the mic, she's improving in the ring every time she steps inside it, sky is the limit for her. Cora turning heel was something that her career needed, she works much better as a heel than she did a face"

[7.0] "Shes got a lot of potential surprised people don't see it in her I have a feeling she'll have a similar rise to Liv Morgan or someone like that."

[3.0] "She looks like a young Eva Marie version to me. She looks frantic and pretty awkward. I don't know if she'll ever improve as she ages"
