Jazz still wrestles these days as she is the current NWA Women's Champion. The former WWE star has a big match coming up as she is set to defend the title against Penelope Ford at the National Wrestling Alliance's 70th-anniversary show on October 21 in Nashville, Tennessee. Jazz doesn't rule out returning to WWE one day, but her focus is on the title.
Never say never but for now I'm focused on NWA title

To hype the bout, the NWA released this video of Jazz talking about what it means to hold the NWA Women's Championship (which she's held since September 16, 2016). There's also footage of Jazz working as a prison officer.
Trish Stratus, who Jazz beat twice for the WWE Women's Championship, said recently that she considers her a Hall of Fame level wrestler.
Yes, like Hall of Fame level. I got better because of her- she ushered me out of my 'green' phase. Forever thankful for her support and for bringing 'the b*tch back' – created a classic underdog story. Love her and so much respect for @Phenom_Jazz https://t.co/BrjKvkRQsB
