Jade Cargill’s shocking move to WWE made a lot of headlines on September 26. Various critics and numerous fans have expressed their opinions regarding this historic transfer. While many talked about how good it was for Jade to expand her experience and popularity. And many stated it was a horrific decision, thinking that WWE might bury her massive talent and capabilities.
The 31-year-old never aimed to become a professional wrestler and never took it as a career option while growing up. After being recommended by various friends and relatives, Cargill started her career as a pro wrestler. Her AEW run certainly gave her a lot of support and popularity, along with exceptional in-ring skills and experience.

Big Jade credited AEW for providing her with a platform to showcase her skills and prepare her for what is to come. She stated how Tony Khan’s promotion gave her a hard time at various points to test her capabilities, which in turn made her into what she is today.
