Cora Jade might be gone from WWE, but she hasnt gone quietand shes not letting the critics win. Now going by her original ring name Elayna Black, the former NXT star opened up during an interview with Chris Van Vliet about how CM Punk helped her mentally survive the fallout from her WWE exit.
Punk, whos been her mentor long before and after her release, gave her advice thats stuck with her through the hate, speculation, and pressure. And for someone who has seen both sides of internet obsession, that guidance couldnt have come from a more qualified source.
She said Punk taught her not to care what people thinkwhether fans love her, hate her, or twist her story to fit their narrative.
She also didnt hold back when addressing those who try to dehumanize her online, especially with false claims about being injury-pronewhen in reality, she says she came close to dying.
Whether Elayna Black ends up in AEW, joins OnlyFans, or explores other ventures, one things clearshes got CM Punk in her corner and zero patience left for trolls who dont see the human behind the persona.
Is Elayna Black right to call out fans who treat wrestlers like punching bags onlineor should she just let the noise pass? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.
