Thanks to her performance at the Mae Young Classic, on September 24, it was confirmed that Yim was signed to a contract with WWE and would begin working at NXT. Just a month later, on the October 24 episode of NXT, Yim made her in–debut as part of the brand, defeating Aliyah. In November, after a backstage altercation between the two, Yim faced Bianca Belair who would hand her first loss and that would also spark a feud between the two. Yim was able to bounce off the loss and defeat Reina Gonzalez to earn herself a spot for an upcoming fatal–four-way match to determine the number one contender for the NXT Women’s Championship, however, the match was won by Belair. Shortly after Belair’s undefeated streak was ended, Yim was able to defeat her in two different matches to end their feud.
On the December 2 episode of Impact Wrestling, Jade lost to Rosemary in a “Six Sides of Steel” cage match for the vacated TNA Knockouts Championship. In mid–January 2017, the feud between Rosemary and Jade re–emerged and this led to a Monster’s ball match, where Rosemary defeated Jade to retain her championship. Jade received a rematch against Rosemary on the March 2 episode of Impact Wrestling, in a Last Knockout Standing match, which she lost. This was Jade’s last match in TNA, and it was officially announced earlier in the week that she was not signed to a new contract and confirming her departure from the company.
