Jade Cargill says decision to sign with WWE was a ‘no-brainer’

Jade Cargill is excited about the next step in her career.

On Tuesday morning, Cargill was officially announced as WWE’s newest addition. She’s signed a multi-year contract with WWE.

After the news was announced, Cargill appeared as a guest on The Ringer Wrestling Show. Cargill was asked how it feels now that she can officially call herself a WWE superstar.

It feels great. I feel like I was just in preparation for the grand stage. I felt like this was always the mission. I felt like, you know, the shoe fit. I felt like this was going to happen. Honestly, this is all expected. So, I’m excited to be here.

Cargill addressed how difficult of a decision it was to leave AEW and join WWE.

I want to create a legacy. I want to be in the Hall of Fame. I want to wrestle with the best women in the world. I mean, there is no grander stage than this stage. The opportunities are endless for this company. It’s a no-brainer. It was very welcoming. I didn’t have any second thoughts about it at all. It was just an easy choice. It wasn’t easy, but it was easy.

When asked how her connection with Cody Rhodes affected the decision, Cargill confirmed that it was a factor.

He was top three — and not third. He is a phenomenal man. I’ve seen what the business did for him. I’ve seen him just be the stellar athlete that he is. And I didn’t see any different for myself.

Cargill named Nia Jax, Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair, and Bianca Belair as opponents she wants to face in WWE. Cargill said there’s not just one person she wants to wrestle — she wants to take them all down.

Cargill said there are a lot of people from AEW she will miss. She listed Ricky Starks, Billy Gunn, QT Marshall, Bryan Danielson, Dustin Rhodes, and Mark Henry as some of those people. Cargill said all of the greats in AEW want to see her succeed.

On the September 15 episode of Rampage, Cargill had her final AEW match. She lost to TBS Champion Kris Statlander.

Tony Khan was asked about Cargill during a media call on Tuesday. Khan wished Cargill the best in her future and said he has nothing but positive things to say about her. Khan said Cargill would always be welcome in AEW.
