Eric Bischoff on Jade Cargill Potentially Joining WWE – The wrestling world is abuzz with news that Jade Cargill is reportedly on the verge of signing with WWE. If this move comes to fruition, it would mark a significant transition for the talented wrestler and potentially set her up for life, according to Eric Bischoff, who shared his thoughts on the situation during the Strictly Business podcast.
While acknowledging that the reports are not officially confirmed, Bischoff expressed happiness for both Cargill and WWE if the move indeed takes place. He noted that it could be a risk for Cargill, as she is relatively inexperienced compared to some WWE talents, having spent a few years in AEW, which operates differently from WWE in terms of workload and touring.
“Happy for her if it’s true, happy for WWE if it’s true. I say if it’s true because every report I’ve read so far, and there’s only been a handful because it’s relatively new information, is being reported. It’s not confirmed, it’s just being reported. Let’s just see. Jade, maybe I’ve met her but I don’t know her at all, I don’t think I’ve ever had a real conversation with her. This would be an absolutely amazing opportunity for her. It’s a risk, there’s no doubt it will be a risk for her because she’s walking into an environment, she’s still relatively green, right? She’s been around for just a few years in a early stage company, meaning it’s not a touring company, there’s not four or five nights on the road, it’s not the same kind of workload as WWE. There’s going to be a major transition there, but if she’s a young woman that’s confident in herself, and I believe her to be just following her on social media. If she’s got the confidence and the determination, this could be massive for her. It could set her up for her life.”
Bischoff went on to question why Cargill was even in the position to negotiate with another promotion.
“As far as AEW goes, it’s hard to say. Why was she even in this position? Why was she able to negotiate? There may be a good reason for it, there may be a bad reason for it. We don’t know, and it’s hard to speculate on things you don’t know. I would imagine with all of the other news floating around, Tony doesn’t really need one more negative dirt sheet news story. It’s unfortunate for AEW but hey, life goes on. Who knows, Edge could be in AEW by this time tomorrow.”
Cargill is set to challenge Kris Statlander for the TBS Championship on tonight’s episode of AEW Rampage. Fans can see the full results for that show by clicking here.
