Jade Cargill has developed at a tremendous pace since her AEW debut in November 2020.

After leaving the AEW Women’s Division in her wake, Cargill went on to become the inaugural AEW TBS Championship in her rookie year.

Dynamite is quickly becoming “That B—ch Show” indeed. During an interview with Bleacher Report, Cargill revealed that she’s been a wrestling fan since she was 10 years old, and with a physique that could cut diamonds, it should come as no surprise that wrestlers like Chyna, Jazz, and Jaqueline were some of her early inspirations.

Before signing with AEW, Cargill actually turned down an offer from WWE. On the Talk is Jericho podcast, she would go into the reasoning behind her surprising decision:

“He (Tony Khan) knew that I wanted to do this, and that mattered to me. I wasn’t just a number. I wasn’t just this person, like who was this person? He knew exactly who I was, so that made me feel comfortable, and yes, the other company was pissed off that they sent me this 100-page contract, but I made the best decision for my family, and I made the best decision for myself.”
