WWE Reportedly Interested In Current AEW Title Holder

Since the inception of All Elite Wrestling fans have seen a number of former WWE stars join the company, but it appears that there are a few AEW stars that are on WWE’s radar.

Andrew Zarian recently noted on the Mat Men Pro Wrestling podcast that he knows for a fact that people in WWE are interested in current TBS Champion Jade Cargill now that they’ve seen what she can do on TV. Jade Cargill recently confirmed during an appearance on Talk Is Jericho that WWE made her an offer, and she also explained why she decided to sign with AEW instead.

“(WWE has a) Cookie-cutter system, that’s what I didn’t want. I didn’t want to be a number. One thing that stood out to me was that I could call and text TK and he knows who I am. That mattered. I’ve always been a believer and I’ve always been an underdog. I love being the underdog and we’re hungry. I want to be part of something that is hungry and wants to change things. That’s why I came here. The locker room, I felt at ease. I didn’t feel like it was a bullying system or athlete vs. wrestling type of system. It felt natural and easy.

“There’s more security. There’s a safety net here. (EJ Nduka) gave up everything he had, had a newborn baby, and got cut with no warning. He gave everything. I remember when I told him I was thinking about coming [to AEW], he couldn’t believe it. ‘Why would you ever choose (WWE) over (AEW)?’ You don’t understand. I feel good here.”

Stay tuned for more updates on Jade Cargill and WWE as they become available.
