Jade Cargill being done with AEW is one of the worst kept secrets in pro wrestling right now. AEW boss Tony Khan is in full “can’t really comment on that” mode right now, which is its own proof.
The second part of the non-secret is that Cargill’s arrival in WWE is imminent. Several outlets reported that she was already in Orlando this week, though WWE hasn’t announced her signing — and may not, if it wants to debut Cargill with as much surprise as possible in this day and age.
Though Cargill is expected to report to the WWE Performance Center if she hasn’t already, the question would be if the company has her work in NXT for bit or pushes her straight to the main roster. According to Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer, it appears it may be the latter.
Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio that WWE is working on “main roster creative” for Cargill and called it “high priority,” differentiating it from the process that NXT callups often go through when they are promoted to the main roster.
They’re not bringing her in to be like — you know how they would bring in some of the NXT people like Von Wagner or Alba Fyre. Alba Fyre’s actually a good one. Or Katana Chance. You know [people] that are brought up and they have like no idea of what to do with them and then they just kind of disappear into the dust. And it’s almost like, ‘Why did we even bother calling them up?’ She is not earmarked to be like that. She’s earmarked for real stuff.
Considering that Cargill has only been wrestling for about three years, it would be understandable if WWE would prefer to let her work in NXT for bit first. But there’s no question that Cargill has the look and presence of a star, and can only get better while working with some of the top notch talent in WWE’s women’s division.
In short, if there was one import that WWE wanted to fast track, Jade would be it. The watch for her to show up on a Raw or SmackDown is now officially on.
