What could AEW have in-store for Jade Cargill?
Like we mentioned earlier, Cargill made her debut last night. She mocked Former World Champion and AEW EVP Cody Rhodes, targeting his “Giant Killer” moniker.
She said Cody had awoken a “real giant” and “his name is Shaq.” This claim led to huge speculations for a future Cody vs. Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal feud.
Then, Brandi Rhodes, AEW’s Chief Brand Officer, and Cody Rhodes’ wife stormed onto the stage to defend her husband. Hence, AEW set up a probable feud Brandi vs. Jade feud.
However, this is not Cargill’s first association with wrestling. As WrestlingNews reports, she tried her luck with WWE last year.
In a list posted on their website, they included Jade Cargill’s name and many others, including AEW star Ivelisse Velez, former WWE talent Lance Anoa’i and more.
Although she did not make the final cut in WWE, AEW hopes she will be an asset. What do you think of Cargill’s inclusion into AEW? Let us know in the comments below.
