12 Secret Mistakes You Didn't Realise WWE Have Already Made In 2024
3. Putting Jade Cargill In The Queen Of The Ring And Having Her Lose
Jade Cargill's first few months on WWE's main roster have mostly been a well-booked hit.
Her thrilling squashes ensured she wasn't overexposed too early and made her feel like a force of nature. WrestleMania 40's six-woman fight helped Cargill, Bianca Belair, and Naomi look like superheroes that night. And her partnership with 'The EST of WWE' has finally made the Women's Tag Team Championships feel like a prize worth fighting for.
However, despite all the justifiable hype surrounding the star, it secretly hasn't all been perfect.
The former AEW star is the sort of performer who possesses a superstar aura that's incredible difficult to create, but so very easy to shatter with a few stupid booking decisions. And picking up her first WWE loss against Nia Jax in the Queen of the Ring tournament recently was a move that just didn't need to be made.
Now sure, it was only a DQ 'L', but it still robbed her of her of an undefeated singles streak that would have been better broken by her competitive teammate and no-doubt future rival Belair. Possibly even in the next round of the tournament.
A hugely improved Nia Jax wasn't a terrible choice as the eventual Queen by any means, and will make for a decent challenger at SummerSlam for whoever is holding the belt.
But throwing Cargill into this kind of tournament and just having her crash out via DQ in the Quarter Finals actually didn't really do much for Jade or Nia, and is a result which could have been avoided by either not letting current title holders enter the tourney or committing to a battle of the tag champs mid-tournament.
