Jade Cargill: I’m ready to ‘show people what I’ve learned and how much I’ve grown’
Jade Cargill says fans are going to be shocked by her performance at WrestleMania.
Cargill will face Naomi on night one of the two-night event in what will be just her sixth televised singles match in WWE. She told CBS Sports she’s excited to show fans how much she’s grown.
“People haven’t seen me in these one-on-one matches as often as I’d like. That’s OK,” Cargill said. “I’m ready to go out there, show people what I’ve learned and how much I’ve grown. I think people are really going to be shocked.”
“I’ve had more time on the sidelines to develop and focus,” she continued. “I’ve zeroed in on what I’m good at, what I’m not, and what I want to absorb. There are so many choices, but there’s also a system in place here.”
Later in the interview, Cargill referred to Naomi as her “big sis” and mentioned they were close even before she started in the wrestling industry.
“Naomi is one of the women I looked up to when I got into this industry,” she said. “She has a wealth of knowledge. She’s very respected in the locker room. She’s gone through so many changes as far as women’s wrestling. She stuck to her guns.”
“She was my big sis before I got into this industry. Before I came to this company, Naomi was the first person I spoke to here. When she left the company, I was the first person to call her. Whenever she had a match, I was the person hyping her up. When she fell short, I was there giving her the biggest hug.”
