Jade Cargill Says WrestleMania Was Never In The Plan, 'It Was Sprung Up On Me'

Jade Cargill discusses "the plan."

Jade Cargill signed with WWE in September 2023, and made appearances on Raw, SmackDown, and NXT to hype her arrival. Cargill's in-ring debut didn't come until Royal Rumble 2024, and then she was off television again until the weeks leading into WrestleMania XL when she signed with SmackDown and aligned with Naomi & Bianca Belair.

Speaking to Billy & Austin on The Babyfaces Podcast, Cargill was asked about WWE making her appearances mean something by spreading them out and building up to them.

"We had a plan, we stuck to the plan. Mania was never in the plan; it was just sprung up on me. Working with Bianca has been a dream because this is someone that everyone pinned against each other. Everyone wanted to see us more against one another rather than working with one another. Like I told everybody, just trust the plan. Best believe, everything is written. They have things planned out for weeks and months in advance. Everybody stay patient. As well with the things I'm doing right now, there is a plan to everything we're doing. You don't think all this is thought out? Especially with me, they want to present me in the best way possible, like they have been doing. They want me to go out there and excel and kill the business because they know I can do that and they are trusting to put me out there to do these things. It's been great. They follow through with the plan. I have a great relationship with Nick [unclear if Nick Aldis or Nick Khan] and Paul [Paul Levesque]. We're sticking to the plan," she said.

Cargill teamed with Naomi & Belair to defeat Damage CTRL (Dakota Kai, Asuka, & Kairi Sane) at WrestleMania XL.

On the Raw After Mania, Cargill picked up her first singles victory with a win over Chelsea Green.
