WWE Elayna Black Survives Life-Threatening Ectopic Pregnancy Surgery

Elayna Black, formerly known as Cora Jade in WWE NXT, revealed that in January 2023 she underwent emergency surgery for a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, a life-threatening condition that caused internal bleeding and nearly cost her life. Despite experiencing severe symptoms, she initially tried to push through with a wrestler's mentality, planning to compete in a match the following day before being rushed to the hospital and receiving surgery that resulted in the removal of her left fallopian tube. The condition was linked to complications from her IUD birth control, which carries a known risk of ectopic pregnancies. Black shared that the physical trauma was followed by intense mental health struggles, describing a period of deep depression after missing important WWE events like Stand & Deliver. Since her WWE release in May 2025 and the expiration of her non-compete clause, she has reclaimed her Elayna Black persona, launched an OnlyFans, and begun accepting independent bookings. Her openness has resonated with fans as she navigates her career and personal challenges post-WWE.
