Jade Cargill has made her official in-ring WWE debut as she competed in the Women’s Royal Rumble match as the #28 entrant after signing with the company last year and training for the past several months at the Performance Center.
Cargill teased a showdown with Bianca Belair in the match before being eliminated. While speaking to Denise Salcedo in an interview, Cargill discussed the moment. Here are the highlights:
On her Royal Rumble debut:
“I mean, I was just ecstatic. The locker room showed me nothing but love. I was a little nervous, but once I heard just the sound of the WWE Universe, I felt like I was undeniable.”
On her AEW tenure:
“I felt like I would have not gotten a better start than in AEW. That’s me being very honest. I think the veterans in the locker room prepared me for the grander stage at WWE. I got a great experience there, being thrown into the water and being able to swim and survive. It prepared me for the big stage that WWE has, the locker room, and the phenomenal staff that WWE has.”
On her showdown with Bianca Belair:
“I mean, we’re gonna see what happens. I think I would rather work with the great Bianca Belair. I think she’s phenomenal. I think she is a great representation for the African-American community. We’re gonna make magic, whether we work against or together, we’re gonna make magic.”
