AEW Star Started Training To Try And Sign With WWE

Jade Cargill joined AEW last year on the Dynamite after the Full Gear pay-per-view, confronting Cody Rhodes and seemingly teasing that Shaquille O’Neal would be debuting for the promotion.

It seemed like AEW was building towards a match between Cargill and Brandi Rhodes off the back of this, but those plans will have to change now that Brandi Rhodes is pregnant.

Teddy Long and Richard Borger recently sat down with WrestlingInc to speak about their Face2Face Wrestling Acamedy. They opened up about how Jade Cargill started training with the intention of joining WWE:

“Jade came through. She started with us, despite what some people like to say on the internet right now, but she started with us. We started training her with the assumption she was going to go to WWE, and AEW jumped in. The rest is history, but Jade’s an amazing person. When you guys get a chance to sit down with her, highly intelligent, very calculated. You’re going to love it. She’s just an amazing person, and her story, when it all comes through, is going to be one that I think a lot of people are going to be interested to hear.”

Richard Borger also opened up about how Jade Cargill was recommended to them by WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry:

“Funny thing, she calls us and says, ‘Hey, Mark Henry from WWE told me that to contact you guys about coming to train, and I said, ‘Oh, this is BS.’ Teddy’s sitting right next to me. I said, ‘Teddy, call Mark. Let’s see,’ because we get people that name drop all the time, usually trying to train for free. And so he calls Mark, and Mark tells him, ‘No, it’s legit. She’s awesome.’ She was a D1 athlete before that. So then she comes in and starts training with us, and oh man, she’s just a beast, solid 8-pack, just a genetic beast. And like I said, great personality, has her degree in child psychology. I mean, just one of the nicest people you could ever meet.”

For those that don’t know, Teddy Long and Richard Borger are helped with the running of the Face2Face Wrestling Acaemdy by former WWE star and current IMPACT roster member Heath (formerly Heath Slater).
