Elayna Black (Cora Jade) Responds to Bullying Allegations from Former WWE NXT Talent Alexis Lete

NXT developmental talent Alexis Lete was released by WWE in September of 2023. Following her release, Roxanne Perez and Elayna Black, former Cora Jade in WWE, made online negative comments towards Lete that was later revealed to have been due to reports of backstage heat she had with both of them during her time in WWE.

A recent episode of the That One Time with Adam Metwally podcast featured Lete as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Lete’s thoughts about her not having any issues with Perez and instead blamed Perez’s friendship with Cora Jade for the reason for Perez’s heat with her. Lete also claimed that Jade had bullied her during her time in WWE.

“Everybody thinks I hate her. I don’t. She actually helped me with a few of my moves and I think she’s a really sweet girl. She was friends with this girl Cora Jade, who was really mean when I was there and was one of the main bullies I had to deal with. In life. I was confused like, ‘Why do we have beef?’ It’s because she texted me and told me to do something. I told her that I wasn’t going to do that, respectfully. She asked me to take down a TikTok. I was like, ‘No.’ It was just ‘this is what I did at work today.’ She’s like, ‘You’re exposing the whole industry.’ I wasn’t. I did not give away anything kayfabe. It was just, ‘This is a fight. We’re planning out the fight,’ but I didn’t say I was planning it with my competition. We all collaborate with each other. She was butthurt that she couldn’t control me and she wanted to slander (me). She had been there longer than me, but there was no reason why I would respect her because she didn’t do anything to be respected. She didn’t come to introduce herself to the new people. She didn’t make it a safe place to ask her questions about moves. She didn’t offer to stay after and help people. We would go up, shake her hand and she’d literally turn away from us. She was a mean person. She was really mean.

End of story, Cora Jade sucks.”

Following the release of the interview, Black responded on Twitter denying the bullying allegations against her and stated that Lete’s backstage heat issues was due to her being disrespectful towards others on multiple occasions.

“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 fuck 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 of that. Blunt to a fault sometimes? Yes. But bullying is crazy.
