Cora Jade at Dreamwave Wrestling

I attended my first Dreamwave Wrestling show last July. It was about a two hour drive, but we wanted to meet former WWE star Cora Jade, as well as see some of our independent wrestling favorites in action.
Brianna Coda was trained at Chicago's Freelance Academy, before making her pro debut in late December 2018. After wrestling on the indy scene, with a stop at Impact, she joined the WWE as Cora Jade in 2021. She parted the WWE in late 2025. During her time in the WWE, she won the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship with Roxanne Perez. She also was ranked #65 on the Pro Wrestling Illustrated PWI Women's 250 in 2023.
Jade has made a few random appearances since leaving the WWE, but hasn't signed with any wrestling company. At Dreamave, she wrestled (as Elayna Black) Maggie Lee for the Dreamwave Women's Championship, but lost.
The pre-show meet-and-greet with Jade was fun. Jade was friendly and engaging.
It's hard for us to get to Dreamwave, but we certainly would go again depending on our schedules and the specific event. The next Dreamwave show is February 7. For more info, go to dreamwavewrestling.com.
