Jade, who turns 23 on Sunday, returned to NXT at December’s Deadline after four months away, laying out Valkyria to kick off what was expected to be a title program between them. Jade had departed in a July 2023 storyline after a loss to Dana Brooke, saying she was sick of NXT.
Jade defeated Gigi Dolan on this past week’s NXT TV show.
She has been part of WWE developmental since January 2021.
