Jade Cargill Calls Her First WWE Women’s Title Reign ‘A Practice Run,’ Says She Wanted More Matches

Jade Cargill reflects on her WWE Women’s Title reign.

Cargill’s first reign as WWE Women’s Champion came to an end at WrestleMania 42 when she lost to Rhea Ripley.

Jade Cargill held the title for 169 days, but made only one title defense before WrestleMania 42. Her lack of title defenses was a common complaint from fans and referenced on television.

Speaking to Rick Ucchino of Sports Illustrated, Cargill commented on her first run.

“I wanted to wrestle more. I wanted more competitive matches. I wanted more grit. I really wanted to sink my teeth into whatever was being thrown at me. That’s all I wanted with my reign, but we didn’t get that as much as I wanted, and that’s fine. But now that I had a practice run, I’m gonna call it a practice run, I’m gonna say next time is gonna be totally different,” she said.
