Cora Jade pulled off a CM Punk and an AJ Lee with her mannerisms and costume on TNA Impact. The WWE NXT star rested on the corner side of the ring as Punk did in one of the segments on WWE Raw. She wore a cowboy hat similar to the one worn by AJ Lee on WWE Raw.
Jade has been appearing on TNA Impact in the last few weeks. She has been engaging herself in a feud with the TNA Women's Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich since TNA Genesis. Jade will be up against Slamovich for the title in the upcoming weeks. Before taking on the champion, Jade faced her mate Hyan in a match.
The buildup to the match involved Jade resting on the ring where she gave a reference to Punk's posture in one of the segments. On WWE Raw before WrestleMania XL, Punk had a casual segment with Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre where the latter rested on the ring as if he was cool.
Cora Jade's reference to CM Punk and AJ Lee
Punk replied to him by resting on the other side of the ring himself. Jade pulled it off during her segment against Hyan. It led to their match on TNA Impact where Cora sent a message to Masha and Co. The NXT star claimed a win via pinfall over Hyan with a Jaded.
However, she was not done and attacked her opponent even after the match. Xia Brookside came to Hyan's assistance and momentarily forced Cora to retreat. However, Jade came back and delivered a Jaded to Xia. In the process, she sent a message to Slamovich ahead of their title match.
It forced the TNA Knockouts Women's Champion to enter the arena not just to see after her mates but to confront her opponent. Jade cleverly moved out of the ring when Masha entered the arena. She then wore a Cowboy cap and gave a reference to Lee. When AJ was in WWE, she wore a cowboy cap in one of the episodes.
