Jaida Parker reflects on her NXT debut.
Parker made her televised debut for the company on the October 17, 2023 edition of NXT, competing against Karmen Petrovic in the first round of the NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament.
Since then, Parker has racked up wins over the likes of Gigi Dolin and Fallon Henley just in 2024 alone.
While speaking to Booker T’s Hall Of Fame podcast for a new interview, Parker explained why her debut was emotional for her.
“When I got the call, it was very emotional because at the time,I had lost family members back to back and I tell people everyday that you can’t tell me god ain’t real because I did not expect that phone call to happen and come through being like, hey, you’re going to be in the tournament. I broke down like, it was one of the best feelings of my life because it felt like I was doing something right and going down the right path and I’m doing it with god by my side. That was one of the best feelings of my life on top of the debut, I’m just like, I’m here for a reason and that just declared it for me.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Parker talked about working with the Out The Mud faction. Learn more here.
