Cora Jade says she loved her time in AEW and would like to sign there if the opportunity came her way.

In a new interview with Ariel Helwani, Jade confirmed her interest in joining the number two wrestling promotion in the United States and credited the company's creative freedom as a primary reason why.

"I would definitely be open to going to AEW. I loved my time there. I have a lot of friends there. I watch all the shows. I love the fact that they have as much creative freedom as they do. I'm so much for storylines and character, so I feel like they are very like creatively free in that way."Cora Jade

Jade was recently cut from the NXT roster as part of the post-WrestleMania releases that typically arrive in late April across WWE. Jade was a fixture of NXT when the brand flipped to its maligned "2.0" version in 2021. Injuries made her television time spotty, but she was a former Women's NXT Tag Team Champion and she competed in the first-ever Women's War Games Match.

Jade had a brief stint with AEW in 2020. She worked the AEW Dark tapings as Elayna Black -- the same name she plans on working under once her non-compete with WWE ends. Jade is booked for a handful of independent appearances around the country.
