Jaida Parker praises the coaching staff of the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
Jaida Parker is one of the fastest-rising stars in the modern iteration of WWE NXT. Having only signed with the company two years ago, she's already in line to challenge for the WWE NXT Women's Title. She credits the coaching staff at the WWE Performance Center for her growth.
Specifically, Parker gave a shout-out to Norman Smiley when speaking on the Under The Ring podcast
"One of my favorite producers and coaches, Norman Smiley. When I didn't know who he was, I saw him on my tryout and everything, and just having him as my coach when I first got here changed my whole mindset of this business in general. People always have a helping hand. They're always so nice; they're willing to help you if you're willing to learn and be coachable. It's not like, 'Oh, I know everything.' No, I believe that if I'm not learning something new every day, that I'm doing something wrong. He was the coach to really just, I connected with him in a way where it's like he knows what he's talking about because he wouldn't be here if he wasn't. There's a lot of other coaches in there that are legends, Steve Corino, Fit Finlay, Terry Taylor, like all of them. So I just love that atmosphere because I get to pick everybody else's brain and just take grains of salt from what they've taught me and bring it into my world."
Jaida Parker looks to become a champion for the first time in her career as she challenges Roxanne Perez for the WWE NXT Women's Championship at WWE NXT No Mercy on September 1.
