Elayna Black, formerly known as Cora Jade in NXT, has opened up about a very personal matter she went through in 2023. She had to have emergency surgery due to an ectopic pregnancy.
While speaking with Ariel Helwani, she mentions that at the start of 2023 in January she was supposed to wrestle Lyra Valkyria. This didn’t end up taking place.
“In January of 2023, I was supposed to wrestle Lyra Valkyria on Tuesday, and long story short, I ended up in the emergency surgery in the hospital the night before literally almost dying and bleeding out because I had an ectopic pregnancy that had failed and exploded. (The pregnancy) made me internally bleed and I was rushed into emergency surgery because I was this close to bleeding out. But thank God I went because I was literally thinking I just have to get through the match tomorrow.”
Black would go on and mention that she went ahead and had the surgery as needed.
“Had the emergency surgery, they ended up having to remove my left fallopian tube, and then I was just bummed about missing Stand & Deliver. After I came back those few months, I was just the most mentally depressed I have ever been in my life.”
