Jade Cargill Talks WWE's "Brutal" Schedule
Former AEW star Jade Cargill isn't shying away from the grind of WWE life.
Jade Cargill was always going to go through an adjustment period after leaving AEW to join WWE last year. That's something she has no problems admitting, but Jade did also refer to WWE's travel schedule (and the broader appearance schedule overall) as "brutal" during a sit-down with the Masked Man Show.
Cargill said this is just something she'll need to adapt to if she wants to thrive. That's true, and it's also fair to say that WWE's current schedule is nowhere near the hellish one wrestlers were asked to work in the 1980s and 90s. At one point, some workers were wrestling multiple matches per day in different cities.
Even so, Jade told the podcast that she grew accustomed to "working one day a week, maybe two days a week; traveling in same day and leaving the next morning as early as I can". That was AEW's lifestyle, and it must be a blessing to anyone who favours more time at home.
WWE is a little different.
That's especially true in 2024 with all these international jaunts to places like Saudi Arabia, Australia, Europe and more. All of that comes before one even considers domestic business and the toll travelling around the United States takes on a person.
Again, this isn't something Cargill is mad at, but it has been an adjustment for her.
