Cora Jade is currently a part of WWE, where she thoroughly entertains her fans as a part of the NXT roster. She showcases exceptional in-ring abilities that make her stand out among the rest. However, now it seems a 58-year-old WWE Hall of Famer has recently said that Jade reminds him a lot of AJ Lee.
The WWE Hall of Famer is none other than Booker T., who was recently seen on the Hall of Fame podcast. During that, Booker T. talked about Cora Jade and said that something about Jade makes her stand out. He added that Cora is different from the other girls on the roster.
Booker T. then made a bold claim and said, “She reminds me of AJ Lee so much, you know what I mean? I mean, she really does. She reminds me of that firecracker that was just unapologetic, and ‘I’m-a go out and do it like this, whether you like it or not’-type girls, you know?”.

Finally, the two-time WWE Hall of Famer stated that he is glad that Jade is back in NXT. Not only that, Booker T. also mentioned that Jade has always been one of his favorites. Thus, it seems the Stamford-based promotion might have found the next AJ Lee and the WWE legend is nothing but all praise for the NXT Star.
Meanwhile, it is to be noted that April Jeanette Mendez, popularly known as AJ Lee, is no longer a part of WWE. She was previously a part of the Stamford-based promotion from 2009 to 2015. However, as of now, she has taken her retirement from the squared circle.
AJ Lee called herself the “mother” of Cora Jade
Recently, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T stated that WWE NXT Star Cora Jade very much reminds him of former WWE Star AJ Lee. However, it seems AJ Lee once referred to herself as the mother of Cora Jade.
Previously, Cora Jade participated in a Halloween battle royal in NXT. During that, the rising star decided to dress up just like AJ Lee. With that, she took her ‘X’ handle to post her picture, dressed as Lee. In the caption of the post, she wrote, “Halloween battle royal tonight in #NXTMelbourne @WWENXT S/o to my mother @TheAJMendez“.
OMG. Mother is so proud. And ordering a dna test.

It immediately caught the attention of Lee as she took to her ‘X’ handle to comment on Jade’s post. With that, Lee wrote, “OMG. Mother is so proud. And ordering a dna test.” Indeed, back then, Jade looked like a replica of AJ Lee.
With that, it now remains to be seen what lies ahead for Cora Jade going forward. Also, fans will look forward to more interactions between AJ Lee and Jade. However, they will also be interested to see the former WWE Star and the NXT star sharing the screen in the upcoming days.
