WWE (2021–present)
Early beginnings (2021–2023)
In August 2021, Garrett participated in a WWE tryout in Las Vegas, Nevada, and earned a contract with the company.[2] Garrett was soon assigned the name Jakara Jackson and on August 5, 2022, she made her in-ring debut on an NXT house show, teaming with Lash Legend in a losing effort to Katana Chance and Kayden Carter. Jackson made her televised debut on the October 28 episode of NXT Level Up, losing to Thea Hail.[3] Heading into 2023, Jackson would team with Lash Legend on house shows and NXT Level Up, mostly in losing efforts.[4][5][6][7][8]
Meta-Four (2023–present)
At NXT Battleground on May 28, 2023, Jackson and Legend would align themselves with Noam Dar and Oro Mensah, helping Dar retain his NXT Heritage Cup over Dragon Lee and forming The Meta-Four stable, thus establishing Jackson as a heel in the process. The Meta-Four would feud with Lee who would be aided by Nathan Frazer, Valentina Feroz and Yulisa León and at NXT: Gold Rush, Jackson and Legend would defeat Feroz and Leon in Jackson's NXT debut. At NXT The Great American Bash, Meta Four would be defeated by Lee, Frazer, Feroz and Leon on the Kickoff show to end the feud.[9][10][11] In October, Jackson was due to compete in the NXT Women's Breakout Tournament in the first round against Arianna Grace but was pulled due to suffering a broken wrist and replaced by Brinley Reece. Despite the injury, she would still continue to accompany the Meta-Four during their matches and segments. Jackson made her return from injury on the January 16, 2024 episode of NXT in a battle royal to determine the #1 Contender for the NXT Women's Championship, which was won by Roxanne Perez. On the February 27 episode of NXT, Jackson was defeated by Perez in her first singles match.[12][13][14][15][16] On March 26, it was announced that The Meta-Four will be the host of NXT Stand & Deliver.[17] At Week 1 of NXT: The Great American Bash on July 30, Jackson and Legend failed to defeat The Unholy Union (Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn) for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship; prior to the match, Jackson and the rest of The Meta-Four had turned face when stablemate Oro Mensah began a feud with Ethan Page, who attacked him and Noam Dar backstage in May.[18]
On the October 11 episode of SmackDown, Jackson and Legend made their main roster debut where they unsuccessfully challenged WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill for the title.[19] Jackson and Legend made their second main roster appearance days later on the October 14 episode of Raw, where they cost Damage CTRL (Iyo Sky and Kairi Sane) their WWE Women's Tag Team Championship match from ringside.[20] On the October 22 episode of NXT, Jackson and Legend fought Damage CTRL to a no contest after interference from Chelsea Green and Piper Niven.[21] On the following episode of SmackDown, the three brands' general managers announced that Belair and Cargill will defend their titles against Legend and Jackson, Sky and Sane, and Green and Niven in a fatal four-way tag team match at Crown Jewel where Belair and Cargill retained their titles.[22][23]
