Former WWE superstar Cora Jade alleges she was se*xually assaulted by a fan
According to Elayna Black, the incident happened during a WrestleCon appearance on Saturday. She took to social media almost immediately, posting a video and a direct message about what she says occurred. “Just got se*ually assaulted by a fan at WrestleCon! If anyone sees this guy ban him from anything ever,” she wrote, making her stance clear without hesitation.In the video, Black appears upset as she confronts the man she accuses of grabbing her without consent. The situation did not remain verbal for long. Her boyfriend, KC Navarro, stepped in and escorted the individual away from the area. Black also reacted in the moment, giving the man the middle finger as he was led off.She followed up with more posts addressing the response she received online. “Couple of things since some of the replies on this are insane but not surprising. 1. He seemed very there enough talking to me beforehand to know right from wrong. 2. If you can’t control yourself as an adult in public around women without consent, don’t f——g go. Shut the f— up.” She later added, “And having an onlyfans does not equal consent to be assaulted. Some of you need to be in prison. No more meet and greets for me!”
Wrestlers’ safety has been a major concern
The incident has since sparked a wider conversation about fan behavior and performer safety at conventions like WrestleCon. While no official statement had been issued by event organizers at the time, the video itself fueled strong reactions. Many supported Black for speaking out immediately, noting how rare it is for situations like this to be addressed so directly and in real time.There were also added details that gave context to her frustration. Reports suggested that earlier in the weekend, she had concerns about fans crossing personal boundaries outside scheduled appearances. For performers, especially those with dedicated followings, the line between public access and private space can blur quickly.
