Jade Cargill Likely To Join WWE After Reportedly Leaving To AEW

High-profile AEW star Jade Cargill is reportedly leaving AEW to join WWE, their rival company.

Jade Cargill, a former TBS champion, surprised everyone by appearing in AEW’s Collision event in Cincinnati this month, where she faced off against Kris Statlander.

According to Better Wrestling Experience, WWE had discussions with the 31-year-old AEW star about a contract last Saturday. However, she made her return to Collision at the same time. Fightful Select also reported that it’s likely Cargill’s time with AEW came to an end at Rampage this week. Additionally, her last appearance in AEW is expected to be on AEW Dynamite in Cincinnati.

It’s now been said that Cargill is completely done with AEW, and sources suggest she has already reached an agreement with WWE.

Both AEW and WWE sources have indicated that Cargill is heading to WWE.

Last year, the 31-year-old won the TBS Championship by defeating Ruby Soho, becoming the inaugural champion, and holding the title for a record-breaking 508 days, the longest reign in AEW history. She has been a prominent figure in AEW’s women’s division, and her undefeated streak was a significant highlight for All Elite Wrestling.

Her undefeated run came to an end at AEW’s Double or Nothing event earlier this summer when Statlander defeated her in under fifty seconds in their first match.

This news of Cargill’s potential move from AEW to WWE comes after reports that WWE legend Edge is considering the opposite move due to contract issues.

Edge, whose real name is Adam Copeland, faced uncertainty about his future when WWE didn’t meet his contract demands. As a result, he was temporarily removed from WWE’s internal roster for Smackdown and Raw.

PWInsider later reported that Copeland was added back to the roster but not as an active TV performer, categorized as ‘miscellaneous’ talent for individuals who are not actively working on either show.

According to a report from PWTorch, Copeland presented WWE with the terms he believed were necessary for a new contract, but WWE declined to meet those requests.

This has led to speculation within WWE that Copeland might sign with rival promotion AEW, as AEW’s president, Tony Khan, is known to be a big fan of the Canadian wrestler.

Notably, AEW also features Copeland’s longtime friend and former tag-team partner Christian Cage, whom they last worked with in the ring in 2011 before Edge’s initial retirement.
