Cora Jade made it clear that she has no use for her NXT Women’s Championship belt.
Last week, Cora Jade shocked the world when it was revealed that she had attacked her best friend and tag team partner Roxanne Perez just one week after the two became NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions together. Earlier in the night, Perez was shown lying in the parking lot after a vicious attack, and while Jade tried to cast suspicion on Toxic Attraction ahead of Perez’s title match with Mandy Rose, she was revealed to be the real attacker as she believed Roxanne had been “selfish.”
On the latest episode of NXT 2.0, Cora Jade took to the ring to explain her actions. She began by saying that she was slated as NXT’s next breakout star until Roxanne Perez came into the promotion, causing everyone to forget about her and focus on her friend instead.
Furthermore, she was angry with Roxanne for challenging Mandy Rose just one week after the two became NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions. Jade said that she wanted to make those titles the most important prize in NXT, but that Perez showed no respect when she wanted to move onto being NXT Women’s Champion and hog all the attention for herself.
Because Perez showed that she didn’t care about their tag belts, Cora Jade said the title meant nothing to her anymore, and she threw her belt in a trash can at ringside.

The scene is reminiscent of Madusa’s infamous return to WCW in December of 1995. As Alundra Blayze, the star was the current WWF Women’s Champion when she was released from the company due to financial troubles, and on WCW television, she threw her WWF title belt in the trash.
