Jade Cargill has been experiencing some heat within WWE.
Wrestling Observer reported a situation that took place with Shayna Baszler and Jade Cargill last year that led to Cargill getting heat. Fightful had asked WWE talent about the incident shortly after Jade Cargill was written off TV, but those in the locker room had been quiet. Since then, it was claimed that Cargill took issue with something that had unfolded, and the word around the locker room was that Cargill had said something to the effect that Baszler needed to learn how to work. We're told it stemmed from the match in Scotland where Cargill tapped out in what wasn't supposed to be the finish of the match.
Upon returning to WWE, the situation that got much of the locker room talking was Cargill’s promo video that said she was “demanding respect” and being surrounded by wolves in the shape of women all around her.
At least one talent in the locker room mentioned that this was taken personally by a number of talent as they kept the issue between she and Baszler quiet.
Cargill’s absence was also the subject of heat in the locker room. Talent had heard that Cargill asked for the holiday tour off, but was told that the tour was mandatory. Following that, she sustained an injury that several members of the roster doubted the validity of, which is why reports had emerged elsewhere that she wasn’t injured. However, WWE higher ups spoke to Fightful and said that she was injured, and was actually willing to come back much earlier than she did. However, WWE wanted to make sure she was cleared by their team, and she was able to get in additional reps at the Performance Center.
Fightful has reached out to a number of the subjects mentioned.
