Some ominous laughter, the line "A STORM IS COMING" and music so superstarry it's unreal accompanied Jade Cargill to the ring in January 2024. The former AEW project looked like a superstar from head to toe before hitting the ring and eliminating three women (Nia Jax, Naomi, and Becky Lynch) during her WWE debut. It grabbed eyeballs. Jade demanded attention.

Let's be honest about something up front: If you think this placement is a little low, then rest easy knowing Cargill's best Royal Rumble moments lie ahead of her. This debut was noteworthy and felt like a cut above most arrivals in the women's division, but Jade has so much more to give in coming years.

Some of them might've happened by the time you're reading/watching this.

It's difficult to justify putting Cargill right up there in the top half just based on this debut alone though. Others merit those spots a bit more, so Jade has to be content with being included at all. She certainly deserves that much.
