Rhea Ripley On Jade Cargill: “She Is A Superstar, Already Waiting For Her”
The world of professional wrestling is always abuzz with new talents, controversies, matches, and rivalries. One of the latest sensations to shake up the world of wrestling is Jade Cargill, the newest signing by WWE under the TKO Groups undertaking. Wrestling enthusiasts and fans have been eagerly waiting for Jade’s WWE debut, especially given her stellar performance and career-defining run in her previous company, AEW.
Jade’s presence was first felt in the WWE universe when she made an appearance on the television screen during Fastlane. While she has been seen backstage on both NXT and SmackDown, her ultimate destination remains a mystery. This uncertainty about her exact role and place within WWE has sparked various reactions, including a rather stern warning from the reigning Women’s World Champion, Rhea Ripley.
Rhea Ripley, no stranger to the spotlight and challenges, recently sat down for an interview with Sports News Australia. During this chat, she couldn’t help but share her thoughts on Jade and the waves she’s creating. Ripley expressed genuine excitement about what Jade will bring to the table in WWE, stating, “I’m very excited to see what she brings to WWE. Like you said, she’s a big name and many are watching and waiting for her debut.”
With Jade’s specific brand destination still unknown – whether it be RAW, SmackDown, or NXT – Ripley sounded a note of caution for Jade, particularly if she’s considering RAW as her home turf. Rhea confidently stated, “If it is RAW, I mean that’s my show. Mami runs RAW. The Judgment Day, we run RAW.” This bold assertion sets the stage for a potential rivalry or collaboration, and the wrestling community is here for it.
Further emphasizing her point, Rhea continued, “So, if Jade wants to come to my brand, then I would love to step in the ring with her and show her exactly why Mami is always on top.” It’s evident from her words that Ripley respects Jade’s talent, acknowledging her prowess by mentioning, “I have watched bits and pieces of her from her time in the other company, and she is fantastic. She believes in herself and she is a star.”
The key takeaway from Ripley’s statement is the danger of a self-believer. She pointed out that when someone has the level of self-belief that Jade possesses, they become almost unstoppable. This observation is less of a warning and more of an admiration of Jade’s spirit. But, in her typical playful yet assertive manner, Ripley also remarked, “But, I’m also Mami [laughs].”
Adding more layers to the unfolding drama, Jade was spotted backstage on SmackDown. There, she crossed paths with Charlotte Flair, leading to a quick but impactful face-off. The intensity of their brief encounter has left many speculating on the nature of future interactions. Notably, Raw is the only show where Jade hasn’t made an appearance yet. Given this, many are predicting her debut on the Season Premiere episode of Raw in the coming week.
With Rhea Ripley already establishing her territory and the vibe she carries on RAW, the upcoming episodes promise a treat for fans. Will Jade Cargill be bold enough to take on Ripley’s challenge head-on? Is she planning a grander debut on a different brand? Or will the two powerhouses find common ground and become allies instead of rivals? Only time will tell. Until then, fans can only wait with bated breath to see how this riveting story unfolds. Whatever the outcome, WWE is undoubtedly heading towards some action-packed episodes filled with drama, thrill, and unmatched entertainment.
