Where Jade Cargill will land in WWE remains unclear, though the soon-to-debut star wasn't at the Performance Center this Wednesday.

PWInsider's Mike Johnson reported on Cargill's status ahead of last night's NXT show. The former AEW wrestler has made fleeting appearances on Raw, SmackDown, and NXT since signing with the market leaders, though she was never scheduled for this week's NXT.

Johnson reports that Cargill has been training at the Performance Center in Winter Park, Florida ahead of her full WWE debut.

Jade became WWE's latest high-profile signing in September, when she effectively jumped ship from AEW, whom she wrestled her final bout for on the 13th of that month. Cargill turned down a big-money AEW contract offer to join WWE, who immediately presented her signing as a coup through social media and WWE.com.

WWE formally announced Cargill's signing on 26 September. She has made several short televised appearances since first appearing on camera at 7 October's Fastlane event, though the promotion is yet to confirm which brand she will be assigned to upon going full-time as a televised act. All three major shows have been speculated.
