WWE signs Jade Cargill to multi-year deal

I hope she knocks it out of the park. Does WWE often announce a signing before they show up?

In the era of NXT, it's fairly common. They had a press conference when Asuka joined, and posted an article when Andrade signed.

Thanks for that info! I started watching that era of NXT a bit later, so I missed that. Between a press conference and that awesome first appearance of Asuka, they really knew they had someone important, huh.

Good signing for both parties. I hope she's able to spend some time in NXT before the main roster.

In retrospect, was giving Jade the "Goldberg" treatment worth it for AEW?

I think it was. Statlander pinning her was huge in a way it never would have been if she wasn’t undefeated, and in the meantime, she was a solid attraction for them and really established the TBS title as something meaningful.

Very good point. And kudos to Jade for putting her over on exit (and putting on a show too. That match was solid).

Good for her, get that bag.

Well that's a bummer. I'll miss watching her stomp people.

ImADifferentBird, 9 months ago

Same here. I liked her stuff in AEW.

TellumSiege, 9 months ago

Same, man. I'll probably check out her initial stuff in WWE just to see how they package her.

So long as they don't rush her to the main roster I think this has potential, she needs to learn how to work that WWE style because I think it just fits her.

ImADifferentBird, 9 months ago

I mean, she basically already does work WWE style anyway. She just needs a little more polish.

JelloBrains, 9 months ago

Working with people with a similar style is helpful, it's why you usually wouldn't put a Rey Mysterio in with a Big Show, it works sometimes but you wouldn't want to see it a lot. I think she still has a bit of learning she can do and I just think being in the WWE system working with others that do WWE's paint-by-numbers style is better for her for now.
