Jakara Jackson Speaks Out on Lash Legend’s Pursuit of NXT Women’s Championship Amid Tag Team Rumors

Published:

The Lash Legend pursuit of NXT Women’s Championship has taken center stage following the breakup of Meta-Four on WWE NXT’s April 29 episode, marking a turning point for all group members. As Legend steps confidently into her singles run, Mara Sadè—formerly Jakara Jackson—expresses unwavering support for her former teammate as both women navigate dramatic changes in their wrestling careers.

Sadè has publicly shown her encouragement for Legend as she chases one of the most coveted prizes in WWE NXT. With the disbanding of Meta-Four, Noam Dar continues as NXT Heritage Cup Champion, while Sadè and Oro Mensah take on free agency after parting ways with WWE. In her discussion with Ella Jay for WrestleZone, Sadè expressed genuine hope for Legend’s success, highlighting the strong bond the sisters in arms built during their time together.

“I hope that it’s everything that she could ever want because she deserves it,”

Recalling their shared journey, Sadè noted Legend’s remarkable progress as a solo performer, adding:

“Everybody’s seen our growth together, but just looking at her as an individual star, she’s come such a long way. I’m always going to be cheering and rooting for my sister, for real. We just had each other’s backs in there. I’m always going to have her back, whether we’re together or not. That’s something that will never change.”

Behind the Rumors of a Tag Team Title Run

Amid speculation about their time as a duo, Sadè revealed hopes that Lash Legend would achieve all her ambitions, including holding the women’s championship. During the most recent NXT broadcast, Legend publicly joined several wrestlers in declaring their intent to challenge for the NXT Women’s Championship, sparking a heated fight that culminated with Mariah May’s surprising arrival as the division’s newest competitor.

While partnered on NXT, Sadè and Legend frequently contended for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships, also earning an opportunity at the TNA Knockouts titles. Speaking about the possibility of winning tag gold together, Sadè acknowledged that plans sometimes shift quickly within WWE:

“Of course, there are those times when you feel like it’s going to happen. But things change in the background constantly,”

—Mara Sadè, WWE Wrestler

She further referenced advice she received about the unpredictable nature of professional wrestling:

“One of the things that Bianca [Belair] told me was you never know up until you walk out when you hear that entrance music. Anything can change up until that point. So I’m going to say, there were times we definitely thought [we were winning], but things change all the time.”

Transitioning into free agency, Sadè has dedicated the past month to preparing for what’s next, organizing her priorities, and embracing a new chapter outside of WWE. She discussed her methodical approach after her release:

“get [her] ducks in a row.”

Sadè added her appreciation for the broad array of prospects now available, noting:

“I’m really happy to be doing whatever the hell it is on my plate that I’m going to be doing. Just a lot of stuff, a lot of things in the past 30 days.”

As Lash Legend’s journey toward the NXT Women’s Championship continues, the emotional backing from Mara Sadè remains constant, even as both wrestlers face the uncertainty and opportunity that comes with new beginnings.
