Former AEW wrestler Jade Cargill made a strong impression in her WWE debut at the Royal Rumble event, but backstage reports have raised concerns about her readiness for WrestleMania.
The 31-year-old has been the talk of the town since she burst onto the WWE scene during the Fastlane pre-show. Despite her impactful presence at the event, Cargill’s actual wrestling debut was saved for the Royal Rumble.
Once a standout in AEW, Cargill has moved to WWE, teasing fans with potential dream matches. She showed off her abilities at the Royal Rumble when she entered the women’s Royal Rumble match as the 28th entrant.
While she showed off her skills and made it to the top 3, concerns arose during a discussion with Wrestling Observer Radio. Bryan Alvarez revealed the backstage conversation, stating, “I’m told she has trouble remembering things. And so she needs to go out and start doing a bunch of matches with veteran WWE women along the way. Get her ready. If she’s going to make her big WrestleMania debut“ .
Despite these concerns, Cargill’s Royal Rumble appearance had some standout moments, including a wild confrontation with Nia Jax and a crowd-pleasing confrontation with Bianca Belair. Cargill also eliminated Naomi before being eliminated.
As the wrestling world turns its attention to WrestleMania, the focus turns to Jade Cargill’s preparations for the big event. Behind-the-scenes concerns have focused on honing her skills and adapting to the WWE style. Whether Cargill can overcome these challenges and make a lasting impression at WrestleMania remains to be seen.
