Professional wrestling career

On August 16, 2022, Caffey was announced as having signed with WWE as part of the WWE Performance Center along with 16 other recruits. [7] Caffey made her in-ring debut by participating in a battle royal at an NXT live event on October 28.

In September, now under the ring name Jaida Parker, she was announced as a participant in the NXT Women's Breakout Tournament, and was defeated in the first round by Karmen Petrovic in her first televised match on the October 17 episode of NXT . [10] [11] On the January 9, 2024 episode of NXT, Parker approached the villainous stable OTM (Out The Mud) (Scrypts, Bronco Nima, and Lucien Price), offering her services to the group which they accepted. [12] OTM would feud with The D'Angelo Family (Tony D'Angelo, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, and Adriana Rizzo), leading to a six-person tag team match at NXT Vengeance Day, which The D'Angelo Family won. [13] On the February 13 episode of NXT, Parker defeated Rizzo, ending the feud. [14] [15] [16] At NXT Stand & Deliver on April 6, NXT general manager Ava announced the newly created NXT Women's North American Championship, and Parker went through as one of the top 12 participants from the preliminary combine to compete for a spot in the six-woman ladder match to crown the inaugural champion at NXT Battleground. [17] On the May 21 episode of NXT, Parker defeated Brinley Reece to qualify for a spot at NXT Battleground, but failed to win the title at the event. [18] [19] On the August 20 episode of NXT, Parker won a six-woman gauntlet match to earn a match against Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women's Championship at NXT No Mercy. [20] At the event on September 1, Parker failed to win the title from Perez. [21] Soon after, Parker began a feud with Lola Vice, which culminated in an NXT Underground match at NXT Deadline on December 7, where she lost. [22]
