Jade Cargill has finished up with AEW and is likely headed to WWE. We’ve learned some more about her departure and what's going on now.
Those that we spoke to around the situation on all sides – WWE, AEW and those close to Cargill, implied that her deal with AEW would be up as of last Friday and she’d be eligible to go wherever she wanted. WWE sources have told us that Jade will be in Orlando this week at the WWE Performance Center. Sources claimed she isn't planned for tonight's Raw or tomorrow's NXT as of now, but is expected to sign with the company as of now. We're working to find out if this is for a private tryout, physicals, or if she's reporting to the Performance Center. Almost every wrestler that is brought in or returns is required to make a Performance Center trip.
WWE has long had interest, but some within WWE had heard of interest back in July, and several associated with her teased that “big moves could be coming,” though they didn’t outright say what those moves would be.
There were several people close to her that were being coy about her future plans, not outright mentioning WWE, however, higher ups in AEW were aware of the plans to jump to WWE.
Those close to Cargill also said that she was treated well by AEW upon leaving, and there doesn’t seem to be ill will. She received a nice ovation backstage and spoke with numerous talent about wrapping up. It was said that it was important to AEW to give her an appropriate sendoff.
Jade Cargill is still listed on the AEW roster page.
Sources within WWE that we spoke to were speculating where Cargill would go as it pertains to the WWE main roster or NXT. We've not heard of any negative implications or impressions from WWE staff or the roster, and most have said that they've yet to hear anything bad about her.
Cargill would be the second signed AEW talent to make the jump to WWE, following Cody Rhodes, after the company lost numerous talent to AEW in past years.
