After leaving fans waiting for the final third of 2023, Jade Cargill finally made her debut at the 2024 Royal Rumble and did so in a pretty incredible way, including eliminating Nia Jax single-handedly and having a face-to-face showdown with Bianca Belair, the “EST of WWE” and do-it-all powerhouse with an ability to captivate a […]

Ricky Starks is a pretty popular man in professional wrestling, having made friends with some of the biggest stars in the world today during his time in NWA, AEW, and on the indies. Over the course of his 12-year career, he’s become incredibly close with Cody Rhodes, as fans learned on Rhodes to the Top, […]

After making her much-anticipated return to professional wrestling at the 2024 Royal Rumble, eliminating three performers as the 28th entrant in the women’s match, including the “Irresistible Force,” Nia Jax, you’d think Jade Cargill would be basking in the glow of arguably the most important night of her professional wrestling career, right? Take some time […]

When news broke that Jade Cargill had signed with WWE after exclusively spending her professional wrestling as a member of AEW up to that point, it felt like a massive deal. Sure, Cargill’s time in AEW could best be described as unique, as she won 50 straight matches and was booked like an unstoppable force, […]

With the 2024 Royal Rumble officially upon us, fans have been clamoring to figure out what surprises Paul “Triple H” Levesque and company have up their sleeve for the show’s two namesake matches.

What does the future hold for Jade Cargill in WWE? Will she debut in NXT and run court atop the developmental brand, getting experience in the WWE Universe before jumping up to RAW or SmackDown when the promotion feels she’s ready to rumble? Or will WWE debut her in a huge way right out of […]

When news broke that Charlotte Flair would miss the rest of 2023 and much of 2024 after suffering a combination ACL/MCL/meniscus injury on a December edition from SmackDown, more than a few fans immediately identified one performer who could step up to help fill “The Queen’s” shoes: Jade Cargil, the former TBS Champion who spent […]

While AEW has added quite a few new performers to their ranks from WWE, New Japan Pro Wrestling, the indies, and beyond, with over a dozen new performers signing with the promotion over the calendar year, 2023 will widely be regarded as a year of loss for AEW, as two of the promotion’s most notable […]

When Paul “Triple H” Levesque took the proverbial stand after the Survivor Series press conference, opting to bat leadoff for very obvious reasons, most of the questions he received from the media in attendance had to do with the surprise return of the “Best in the World,” CM Punk. On paper – and, in the […]

When Kris Statlander and Jade Cargill took the ring for a TBS Championship rematch on Rampage, few fans in the arena knew it would be the last time they would see the latter in an AEW ring. Now sure, by the time the match actually aired on television, that perception had changed pretty considerably, as […]

As the WWE Universe prepares for the much-anticipated debut of Jade Cargill, who has been teasing her proper debut for the promotion since officially signing on the dotted line at the end of the summer when she signed a long-term deal after a near-perfect run in AEW. Soon, fans would get to hear her new […]

Finally, after making the jump from AEW to WWE, fans would get to see one of the most highly-anticipated matches around, with the potential for the two women […]

Though she didn’t actually make a real-time appearance at Fastlane, even if there was a golden opportunity in the third match to do so, Jade Cargill did make her first-ever televised appearance within the WWE Universe in the preshow of the Premium Live Event, saying hello to Paul “Triple H” Levesque after arriving at the […]

In the lead-up to Fastlane, two very important things happened: Jade Cargill officially arrived at the venue in Indianapolis, Indiana, meeting with Paul “Triple H” Levesque as they presumably took their seats for the show, and IYO SKY explicitly asked Bayley to stay in the back and avoid interfering in her match with Asuka and […]

Though it’s become somewhat overshadowed by Tuesday’s edition of NXT, a show fans have joked has a WrestleMania-esque card, Fastlane has officially landed in the WWE Universe, and fans are beyond hyped to see how the first proper Premium Live Event of the fall shakes out. With just five matches booked for the show, including […]

Cody Rhodes has officially been back in WWE since WrestleMania 38, when he secured his first of multiple wins over “The Visionary” Seth Rollins before the latter turned babyface in 2023. Since that fateful night in Dallas, Texas, Rhodes has wrestled 102 matches, a number that would be higher if he didn’t lose half of […]

When news broke that Jade Cargill was heading to WWE after establishing herself as one of the more interesting performers in professional wrestling as a member of AEW, fans wondered how Paul “Triple H” Levesque would debut his newest Superstar. Would she go to NXT, having to have her character and gimmick altered ever so […]

After booking a blistering four-hour Pay-Per-View filled to the gills with technical spectacles, high-flying heroics, and one of the most hotly anticipated debuts of the year in the form of WWE Hall of Famer Edge, Tony Khan decided to keep the AEW fun going with a media scrum for the ages, with the exact runtime […]

Well folks, it’s official: Michael Cole, Corey Graves, and Kevin Patrick announced on SmackDown that Jade Cargill is heading to WWE. That’s right, no surprise debut, no moniker change, or no nothing; when Graves said “a storm is coming,” the opening lines of Cargill’s AEW theme song, it effectively let it be known that much […]

Folks, it’s officially official: Jade Cargill has left Tony Khan and AEW behind to try her hand at becoming the next great WWE Superstar. In an announcement officially made by ESPN but known far and wide due to reporting by Sean Ross Sapp, Dave Meltzer, and others, “That B**ch” has been leaning towards a deal […]

In professional wrestling, there’s nothing quite like a hometown hero. From Jerry Lawler in Memphis, to the Von Ericks in Texas, to modern-day stars like CM Punk in Chicago, promoters like Tony Khan have made incredible matches out of booking regionally in addition to nationally, and they will continue to do so moving forward because […]

When news broke that Jade Cargill was almost certainly heading to WWE after finishing up her contract with AEW, Tony Khan found himself in an unusual spot because, technically, she still had one match left on the books, as that week’s Rampage had a pre-taped rematch between on the books between “That B**tch” and Kris […]

When Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful broke the news that Jade Cargill is likely heading to WWE after finishing up her run in AEW with a clean loss to Kris Statlander in a title match for the TBS Championship, it left the wrestling world abuzz. Would Cargill, a performer who has been protected to an […]

Late Wednesday night, mere hours after Excalibur ran through the cards for Rampage and Collision on Dynamite, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful reported that Jade Cargill, the longest-reigning TBS Champion in history, was planning to leave AEW for WWE very, very, very soon. To pretty much every fan of professional wrestling, this news, if true, […]

Sitting pretty with a 59-0 singles record, Jade Cargill entered Double or Nothing with a perfect singles record in AEW and the TBS Championship around her waist. But by the end of the night, Cargil was 60-1, and, for the first time since it was introduced, she had to watch someone else hold the title […]

When Nichole Matthews came out to face Jade Cargill as Canada’s challenger for the TBS Championship, it all but dashed any dreams that Taya Valkyrie, the former Impact Wrestling star who has wrestled all over the world over the last decade, would be coming to AEW. Taking care of Matthews in relative short order, running […]

After watching FTR cut one heck of a promo in support of the crowd but against The A** Boys The Gunns on Dynamite, Canada’s own Renee Paquette caught up with TBS Champion Jade Cargill to ask her if she’s feeling challenged in AEW. But, strangely enough, the undefeated champion ended up being the one who […]

On paper, Jade Cargill has everything going for her in AEW; she’s the TBS Champion, she’s never lost a singles, tag team, or trios match, and in a promotion with over 100 wrestlers under contract, she’s the only performer with a perfect 50-0 record to start out her in-ring career in AEW. And yet, after […]

Some AEW fans don’t like Jade Cargill. They don’t like that she was given a featured spot on AEW television without any experience on the indies, didn’t like her limited move set, and still give her a hard time for her work-in-progress ability to sell for opposing wrestlers, almost all of whom are much smaller […]

Chris Jericho is as savvy a wrestling mind as anyone in the industry today. He constantly tried to re-invent himself, even if it doesn’t always work, and as a result, he’s become one of AEW’s top guys, with a unique ability to work up and down the card with ease. Still, game recognizes game, and […]

Jade Cargill has never lost a singles, tag team, or trios match in AEW or otherwise. Sure, technically, she isn’t truly undefeated, as AEW strangely decided to place “Girlberg” in the Women’s Casino Battle Royal at All Out 2021, which was ultimately won by Ruby Soho, marking the lone blemish on her otherwise perfect resume, […]

There was a time when Shaquille O’Neal was the hottest name in AEW. … yes, you read that correctly; it may seem crazy for fans who are relatively new to the second-biggest wrestling brand in America, but before Jade Cargill was the undefeated wonder with a Goldberg-esque TNT Championship reign, she was known simply as […]

Jade Cargill has been the AEW TBS Champion since all the way back in January of 2022. She’s been the champion longer than Bray Wyatt has been back in WWE, longer than CM Punk has been suspended from AEW – if you can believe it – and longer than Ring of Honor has been back […]

Jade Cargill had wrestled 42 AEW matches before she took the ring at Full Gear. All but two of those matches were of the singles variety – with her lone other appearances coming in the Casino Battle Royale at All Out 2021 and her debut match with Shaq– and yet, no matter who Tony Khan […]

Jade Cargill might not be the winningest performer in AEW history, have the most high-profile victories in AEW history, or currently even have a championship belt in her possession thanks to the extracurricular activities of Nyla Rose, but the rightful owner of the TBS Championship officially carved out a very special place in annals of […]

After becoming a fixture of AEW television and a notable favorite of Saraya, Willow Nightingale has officially become a member of Tony Khan’s company, earning a full-time contract and an “Is All Elite” graphic after defeating Lela Gray in the ring on a live edition of Rampage broadcast, for some reason, from Daily’s Place in […]

Though the build-up may have been muddied by yet another backstage fight, with Andrade vs. Sammy Guevara the latest backstage battle to garner headlines across the greater sporting world, AEW: Battle of the Belts IV is officially here, and this time, it’s going to be a little different the previous runnings of the show. For […]

AEW spent months building up Athena as the perfect person to defeat Jade Cargill and secure the TBS Championship. They did it all; they gave her a babyface faction that all got injured, they played up her prowess in the ring with an impressive string of wins against Cargill’s Baddies, and had the reigning TBS […]

Goodness, Madison Rayne is having herself a week; not only has she been signed by AEW to serve as their new Head Coach of the women’s decision and made her commentary debut on a surprise Thursday night edition of AEW Dark Elevation, but the former Impact Knockouts Tag Team Champion has since gone on to […]
