Following hot on the heels of Lola Vice making the jump from NXT to WWE Raw, Jaida Parker made her red brand debut last night.

Initially, Ms. Parker appeared early in the night as part of a segment involving the Bloodline. With Jacob Fatu and the Usos heading to the parking lot, they were prepared to battle 946 as a car pulled up. Instead of Royce Keys and OTM, though, it was Jaida who got out of the car, explaining that she was at Raw to meet with Adam Pearce.

In the show-closing segment, 946 finally appeared and made their way to the ring through the crowd, being met by Fatu and the Usos at ringside as a wild brawl broke out. That brawl would continue backstage, where the Usos and OTM would be paired off, and Fatu and Keys would go to a separate area of the parking lot. There, a speeding car came out of nowhere and hit the Samoan Werewolf, with a distraught, apologetic Jaida Parker getting out of the vehicle, saying she didn't see Jacob. Of course, when Royce Keys joined the shot, the penny dropped as Parker said, "Ain't nobody safe," as she and Keys got into his car as Raw went off the air.

For those not too familiar with Jaida Parker, with a background in college football/soccer, she signed with WWE in 2022 and debuted in NXT early the following year. By the start of 2024, Parker had formed an on-screen alliance with the OTM duo of Lucien Price and Bronco Nima, though more recent months have seen Jaida operate as a singles babyface feuding with Nattie.

With regular rumblings over the past year or so that Jaida Parker could be set for a main roster call-up, and with her previous relationship with OTM, many had speculated that the hugely charismatic 27-year-old could well be a perfect fit for 946 - and that's seemingly something WWE agrees with.
