Cora Jade Agrees With Undertaker’s Criticism Of Wrestlers Filming TikToks Backstage

Cora Jade finds herself in agreement with Undertaker.

The Undertaker recently expressed disappointment about wrestlers filming TikToks backstage during WWE events. He believes performers should focus on watching the matches and studying what’s happening in the ring to improve their skills. In the past, there have even been stories of younger talent having to apologize to The Undertaker and other veterans in the locker room if they weren’t paying close attention to the show.

Times change, but many wrestlers today grew up wanting to be part of the industry and hold a deep respect for its traditions. Former WWE NXT Superstar Cora Jade is one such wrestler who was deeply passionate about professional wrestling and admired the legends who came before her. As such, she agreed with the Undertaker’s assessment that modern wrestlers do not pay enough attention to the matches taking place on the show they’re involved in.

She expressed these feelings on TMZ Sports’ Inside The Ring podcast after briefly addressing the comments made about her by Alexis Lete, which she now says she’s letting her lawyer handle.

“I remember when I came into [NXT] black and gold, I had locker room leaders like Raquel Rodriguez, Dakota Kai, Ember Moon, like these girls that I looked up to who who cared about wrestling so much, and they were leaders, and they made sure that the unspoken rules the respect of wrestling, and you know, the things that you do in the locker room, behind the scenes and stuff like that, they all made sure that that was done. Then, when they went up, no one else was really left. Me, Lash Legend, Indi Hartwell, Jacy Jayne, and Roxanne Perez, were kind of like the girls who had been wrestling the longest, and I might be missing a few others, but like, we’re kind of like the ones that were, and I remember like me, Jacy, Roxy and Indi, we were all so close that we would we all came. We kind of had the same story. We were just indie fans who came into wrestling because we were fans of WWE, and we kind of had the same story. So we all just bonded, and we all kind of had the same story. We would say, like, we don’t want this place to fall apart, like we want to continue the respect and the wrestling etiquette and the wrestling love and respect, all that type of stuff that the people before us did.

“It just felt like that was slowly getting lost, and it broke my heart, honestly. All of us would talk about it all the time, and it was never from a place of like, ‘Ah, you’re doing things wrong.’ It was like, we just wanted to keep the love of wrestling,” she continued. “I saw something of The Undertaker the other day, which is someone I’ve been a fan of forever, and have so much respect and admiration for, and have been around him. I saw him say something, don’t quote me. I don’t want to butcher exactly what he said, but something along the lines of, he goes backstage at NXT, and everyone is sitting around making TikToks and doing stuff on their phone instead of watching and learning from the matches, and I’m like, This is what I’ve been saying for three years. I’m like, it’s only after he says it that people like, yeah, ‘He’s right,’ and I’m like, yeah, because it’s The Undertaker. Of course, he’s right. But I also think that.

“When I saw him say that, I just felt so validated. I was like, thank you. Somebody else sees what my friends and I and everyone were seeing. It broke our hearts because we were all wrestling fans. It got to the point where it’s not my health to die anymore. It’s not my thing to care about anymore.”
