Earlier this month, news broke that Cora Jade has broken up with fellow NXT wrestler Harlem Lewis (aka Vincent Winey). Below are a couple of photos of them from April 2024:
Jade shared a series of photos with the caption, “It wasn’t me, it was you.” While seemingly a generic breakup phrase, fans noticed the timing and other social media clues.
Previously, Jade and Lewis had shared photos and interactions online. However, these pictures have been removed from their respective Instagram accounts. Furthermore, they are no longer following each other on the platform.
Lewis was Cora’s 3rd boyfriend in NXT. Before him, Cora also dated Blake Christian (aka Trey Baxter) and Bron Breakker.

• Update On If Karrion Kross’ WrestleMania 41 Rant Was Unscripted
Karrion Kross has been attracting major attention this year as he approaches the expiration of his WWE contract.
Kross, who has gained momentum with fans through his social media efforts and improved on-screen character work, made a notable appearance at WrestleMania 41 in his hometown of Las Vegas. Though he didn’t have a match at the event, he made headlines during a WrestleMania recap show appearance with Sam Roberts and Megan Morant. During the segment, Kross shifted between discussing his storyline with AJ Styles and candidly addressing his frustrations, saying he had been “manhandled,” “fired,” and given a “lack of opportunities” in WWE.
According to Fightful Select, Kross does not have any backstage heat despite his pointed comments. The segment, while unscripted, did catch the attention of WWE management. A source told Fightful that while many interviews on the recap show were unscripted, Kross’ segment required some approval before it aired due to the language used.
Following the broadcast, numerous WWE wrestlers reportedly reached out to Kross. As Fightful noted, some colleagues contacted him to check on his well-being, while others thanked him for delivering a promo that blended well with his character and resonated beyond typical wrestling storylines.
Kross’ boldness, both inside and outside the ring, appears to be earning him respect at a crucial point in his WWE career. WrestleVotes reported yesterday that due to his WrestleMania rant going viral and being well received by the fans, Kross is scheduled to get more TV time from now on.
