Elayna Blackformerly known to WWE fans as Cora Jadeis officially back in the game, and shes now a full-time Knockout in TNA Wrestling.
Following her surprise appearance on the January 15 episode of TNA iMPACT, Black has signed to a one-year contract with TNA, locking her in through the end of 2026. The signing marks her return to wrestling after stepping away from the ring for six months.
Her appearance was set up by new TNA authority figure Daria Rae (formerly Sonya Deville in WWE), who introduced Elayna during the live broadcast as a brand-new signing. While Black didnt speak during the segment, her presence alone was enough to make an impression.
According to Fightful, there were no reported talks between Black and other promotions before she made her TNA decisionmaking this signing even more notable as her first big move post-WWE.
Black was released by WWE in late 2025, a move that surprised fans given her momentum in NXT. At the time, she even suggested a TNA run might be unlikely due to the companys working relationship with WWEbut clearly, that didnt stop her.
With Daria Rae backing her and a full contract secured, Elayna Black is poised to be a major player in TNAs Knockouts division throughout 2026.
