10 Most Improved Wrestlers Of 2022
9. Cora Jade
It can be difficult for young talent to take a huge leap under the WWE umbrella as it can be a regimented and restrictive environment at times, but that is exactly what Cora Jade did this year when she turned heel and refined her character. The 21-year-old has shown experience beyond her age this year on NXT, particularly in her feud against fellow prodigious talent Roxanne Perez.
Casting off the skater girl gimmick has given Jade the confidence on the microphone to develop a good heel persona that is befitting of the new NXT style. She has also been able to improve her in-ring quality a great deal, especially when she finds herself in multi-person or tag matches.
The ‘Sorceress of Sin’ stands out on an NXT women’s roster that is filled with hungry young stars thanks to the work she has put in this year to improve. A world title reign on the developmental brand or a main roster call-up likely beckons for Cora Jade in 2023, where she can continue to improve at a startling rate.
