Jade Cargill says she’s ‘played by the rules long enough’

Following her WWE return on Saturday at Elimination Chamber, Jade Cargill says she’s done playing by the rules.

Cargill attacked Naomi at the start of the Women’s Elimination Chamber match. She had been absent from WWE programming since November 2024, when a mystery attacker took her out on SmackDown. The angle was used to cover for a legitimate injury, though the nature of the injury has never been disclosed.

On Sunday, Cargill posted a video to social media:

She says in the video:

“There are wolves in the shape of women all around me. I can see the way they look into my eyes. I am not them, and they are not me. And I weathered every storm that was meant to break me. You can’t help but to talk about me. I saw the look in your eyes as soon as I walked in the door, mapping out how to send me to my demise. My presence makes you question yourself. I’ve let others block my destiny for legacy. People hiding their insecurities behind fake smiles and hugs, trying to knock me for simply being me. Looking like God carved me out of marble. They wanted me to hide that I’m blessed. They demanded proof I belong as if my scars weren’t enough. Losing my mother while being a mother, carrying the weight of it all while still thriving. You don’t have to like me, but you will respect me. I’m here because I’ve earned it. Every scar, every loss, every step. I will not shrink myself for anyone. Don’t mistake my grace for weakness. I’ve played by the rules long enough. Now is time for mine. I am one of one. I am that bitch.”

Cargill hasn’t wrestled since the November 11 edition of WWE Raw, when she and Bianca Belair successfully defended the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. On the November 22 SmackDown, she was shown lying on the smashed windshield of a car in a backstage segment. She was later replaced in the Women’s WarGames match at Survivor Series by Bayley.
