Jade Cargill Reveals What Shaquille O’Neal Said That ‘Lit A Fire’ Under Her

AEW

Jade Cargill currently rules over the All Elite Wrestling women’s division as it’s undefeated TBS Champion, recently recruiting Kiera Hogan and Red Velvet to her side.

Velvet was also Cargill’s first opponent in the company, when she teamed with NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal against Velvet and Cody Rhodes.

Jade recently spoke on the Zaslow Show, where she spoke about teaming with Shaq in her AEW debut, and what he said prior to the match that ‘lit a fire’ under her.

She said:

“It was a dream come true. This is a man that everybody watched growing up. I think every commercial break, you see an advertisement for this man. For me to even be in the same room and share conversation, share a ring with this man, was a blessing in disguise. Who gets a debut match with Shaquille O’Neal on prime-time TV? I remember before going out, I said ‘you ready?’ He looked at me and said ‘no. Are you ready? This is my world. I work in entertainment. Are you ready? Don’t embarrass me.’ That lit a fire under my ass. It was a surreal moment. This is a moment when people can see me. This is the time for me to make my mark.”

Cargill is currently undefeated in AEW. For a list of all win/loss records in the AEW women’s division for 2022 so far, click here.
