AEW Jade Cargill has revealed why she chose WWE instead of AEW.
On September 26, WWE announced that former AEW TBS Champion Jade Cargill had signed a multi-year deal with the company.
Speaking to The Ringer’s Masked Man Show, Cargill was asked if there was a bidding war for her services or if it was a hard decision to leave AEW for WWE. She answered:
“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. There is no grander stage than this stage.”
“The opportunities are endless with this company. It was a no brainer. It was very welcoming.”
“I didn’t have any second thoughts about it at all. It was an easy choice. It wasn’t easy, but it was easy.”
Admitting that her relationship with Cody Rhodes played a factor in her decision, Jade said:
“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 be the stellar athlete that he is.”
“I didn’t see any different for myself. He was one of the guys that led me to a great decision,”
It is currently unknown how long Jade will spend at the Performance Center and still not confirmed whether she will debut on the main roster or NXT. When asked what the current plan is for her in WWE, Cargill replied:
“You’re asking way too many questions [laughs]. You tried to slide it in there, but it’s not going to happen.”
When asked if she thought she had hit a ceiling in All Elite Wrestling, Jade answered:
“I wouldn’t say it’s a ceiling. I would just say that the route I wanted to take was different and the route I wanted to embark on was different.”
“I didn’t see, over there, where I could fit it. The only way I could do it was coming to the WWE Universe. I bet on myself and I made the best decision coming here.”
As previously reported, AEW President Tony Khan has commented on Jade Cargill joining WWE during the AEW WrestleDream media call.
WrestleTalk will provide further updates on Jade Cargill’s WWE signing when they become available.
