Jade Cargill Wrestling Journey From AEW to WWE
Jade Cargill began her professional wrestling career in AEW and is one of the few wrestlers on the WWE roster to have started her journey there.
Before entering the world of wrestling, Cargill was a professional basketball player and competed at both high school and university levels.
Her wrestling journey began around 2017, when a mutual friend introduced her to the former WWE Champion, Mark Henry.
Later, she joined the Face 2 Face Professional Wrestling School, which eventually paved the way for her debut in AEW, marking the official start of her professional wrestling career.
Therefore, Cargill is one of the top stars in WWE who began her wrestling journey in her mid-20s, unlike most WWE stars who typically start in their teens.
On November 11, 2020, in an episode of Dynamite, Jade made her AEW debut, where she interrupted Cody Rhodes’ promos and started a feud with the American Nightmare and his wife.
Later, Cargill became the inaugural TBS Champion, holding the title for an impressive reign (508 days) and establishing herself as one of the company’s top stars.
Starting her journey in her late 20s, Jade Cargill earned multiple titles on the All Elite Wrestling (AEW) platform before shifting her career to WWE in September 2023.
Jade Cargill’s Journey In WWE
While Jade made appearances on Raw and SmackDown shortly after signing, she officially entered the ring at the 2024 Royal Rumble, where she impressed by eliminating Nia Jax, Becky Lynch, and Naomi.
Following this, she later teamed up with Naomi and Bianca Belair, capturing the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships and solidifying her rise on the main roster as one of WWE’s brightest stars.

However, her alliance with Naomi and Benica could not last long. On March 7, 2025, in an episode of WWE SmackDown, Belair confronted Naomi about the backstage attack on Jade Cargill.
Later continuing the feud, on March 1, 2025, at Elimination Chamber, Jade made a shocking return, targeting Naomi and ambushing her before the women’s match started.
Following her single journey in WWE, in June 2025, Jade won the Queen of the Ring tournament, earning a title shot at the WWE Women’s Championship at SummerSlam.
She lost the championship match against Tiffany Stratton at SummerSlam. After that, she seemed to fade out of the spotlight for a while.
Yet, she made her latest appearance on WWE Raw, helping Tiffany fight off Becky Lynch and Nia Jax.
At the moment, Jade does appear to be one of the rising stars on the main roster. Still, questions remain about when she will finally capture the Women’s Championship and what her future in WWE truly holds.
