Every Wrestling Rookie Of The Year: Where Are They Now?
2. 2021: Jade Cargill
Jade was excellent in her debut, celebrating each of her excellent power moves like early '90s Scott Steiner, but was a lot better before what turned into a numbingly predictable TBS title reign. Some of the matches were good, particularly an improbably dramatic Rampage outing against Anna Jay. Her trash-talk - "Nobody cares about that karate sh*t" - was tremendous.
It was looking great for a while, but then the match quality dipped. She frequently got lost, and with zero credible challengers to stomp through, few people cared towards the end of her big push.
She hasn't been seen since Double Or Nothing last month, and if the last days of her reign are any indication, AEW are probably struggling to come up with ideas for her.
