Jaida Parker may not be injured after all. After WWE aired a backstage segment on the February 17 episode of NXT on The CW stating that Parker was sidelined with a neck injury, fans immediately began speculating about the severity of the situation. The update followed her chaotic February 10 match with Blake Monroe, which ended in a double countout after both women brawled outside the ring. But a new clarification suggests the injury may not be legitimate. During the February 22, 2026 Fightful Select Q&A, Sean Ross Sapp was directly asked about Parkers status. The question wasnt rooted in backstage rumors or disciplinary speculation just general concern due to her reduced presence on television. Sapps response was direct and simple. Thats it. No mention of a neck issue. No indication of a medical setback. No reported backstage heat. Just confirmation that Parker is healthy and actively competing at live events. The clarification strongly suggests the on-air neck injury announcement was storyline-driven rather than reflective of a real medical situation. WWE has frequently used injury angles to temporarily shift creative direction or pause rivalries, and this appears to fall into that category. As of now, there is no reported legitimate injury keeping Parker out of action. Shes active, shes working, and her absence from major television storylines appears to be creative rather than physical. Do you think WWE is setting up a bigger return angle for Jaida Parker, or should she already be featured more prominently on NXT TV? Drop your thoughts below.
