Jade Cargill

[0.0] "Even her amazing look doesn't get a point or two from me because everything else is so bad. Her promos are the same, and boy oh boy don't get me started on her ring work. She's managed to get the worst out so many wrestlers and if you're a world champion, then that's unacceptable. Her run in AEW was painful to watch as they fed some of the very best to her when that should not have happened in the first place."

[2.0] "Nothing Jade does feels genuine to me. Her promos always kinda sound like she's just memorizing a script and her matches generally range from downright terrible to decent. Every once in a while I'll be pretty pumped when she has a match that connects with me, but it's admittedly a rare occasion."

[2.0] "Jade still seems quite strange for me as a wrestler. Always looks great before stepping into the ring, but always performs wierdly at other times. The facial expressions, ring skills and even the work on mic just seem not match her charisma."

[0.0] "Certainly, Jade Cargill's power and charisma are impressive, but a professional wrestler needs to be able to wrestle. First of all, his matches are one-sided and end in about five minutes. He's terrible at setting up his matches. And even when the matches are long, he wins by brute force, not by wrestling. He's a professional wrestler who can't wrestle, and I think he's the worst and most overrated wrestler in WWE right now. If I were the owner of WWE, I'd send him to NXT. There's a chance, so I wouldn't fire him."

[3.0] "I really don't get the hate towards Jade, she has shown very good signs of improvement throughout 2025, and really would've been better if the wwe hadn't set her up by not sending her to nxt for at least 6 months, and now on smackdown there's no good wrestlers for her to wrestle that will help her improve. For these reasons alone I find it hard to judge Jade harshly and I've seen her talk about wrestling before and could immediately tell that she does care about the actual wrestling and has really good knowledge, she seems like a genuine person who unfortunately was rushed into positions that she was not quite ready for, but she has all the potential to be a really good powerhouse, she has the look, the aura, all the tools to be a top star."

[0.0] "Let's be honest, being protected by booking can only hide so much. When she's placed in the ring with genuinely polished talent, the gap becomes glaring. Timing issues, blown spots, and an inability to carry a match without heavy support make it painfully obvious that she is still far from the complete performer WWE desperately markets her as. Wrestling is more than an entrance and a flex. Until she develops the in-ring fundamentals and storytelling ability that her peers possess, she'll remain exactly what critics accuse her of being: a highlight reel without the skill to back it up."

"Imagine Goldberg but somehow even more uninspiring in the ring and worse at promos. That's Jade Cargill for you. 2/10"

[0.0] "Cargill's in-ring work is wooden at best and outright clumsy at worst. Every move looks rehearsed to death yet somehow still poorly timed. She hits the ring like she's checking off a to-do list, completely devoid of flow or psychology. The moment anything requires improvisation or genuine selling, the façade collapses. Compare her to any well-rounded performer -- someone like Tiffany Stratton or Bianca Belair -- and the gulf in talent is almost embarrassing. WWE has clearly decided that her look alone is enough to fast-track her, but no amount of designer gear, pyro, or overhyped entrances can disguise the fact that Jade Cargill is painfully out of her depth."

[1.0] "Cargill might look like a star, but that's where the illusion ends. Her WWE run so far has been a masterclass in style over substance -- a living, breathing action figure with the athleticism and charisma of one, but none of the depth, timing, or in-ring skill to back it up. For all the marketing hype and glossy presentation, Cargill remains a painfully raw performer whose matches feel like rehearsed exhibitions rather than competitive fights. Her offense lacks fluidity, her selling is virtually nonexistent, and her timing, especially in sequences against faster, more technically sound wrestlers -- borders on disastrous."

[0.0] "I'm sorry I am trying to be fair with Jade and give her a chance but she is simply bad to awful at everything pro wrestling aside from the muscles and the look. When a wrestler has a 1 of 1 look, I am not mad they get pushed but once you find out their other abilities lack to such a degree, the push needs to end. If she goes on to bury opponents simply because she's got muscle definition it will burn the entire roster. Outside of the ring, she has struggled mightily cutting promos and sounding comfortable on the mic. I can't ever see a time where I will buy in on Jade Cargill"

[7.0] "I'm not going to lie, these comments are so exaggerated. She clearly has a lot of potential and she's doing just fine. She can definitely be a good powerhouse. She ended one of the worst reigns and she looks worthy of a champion to me. People keep bringing up her "chemistry" issue with Asuka as if it's not a normal thing. Her storyline with Naomi was literally the interesting part of SmackDown. There's a reason why Naomi got way more popular, and that's because she feuded with Jade."

"I think Jade Cargill is Overhated, she's a wrestler I really like, she looks the champ, but people just want to hate her, And WWE are not helping either, they keep making her lose unnecessary matches to weaker opponents, hope she gets her credit soon enough"

[8.0] "Very overhated - easily doing the best work of her career right now and it's only going to be getting better with King of the Ring and a potential world title reign coming up. her fued with naomi was excellent and like i said, it's only going to get better"

[2.0] "Physically she looks phenomenonal & would be the type of look that any company would want to push to the top, unfortunately, that's where the positives end. She can't cut a decent promo, her in-ring ability, even after 5 years of being pushed in the 2 biggest wrestling companies & trained by extremely reputable trainers/wrestling legends, is sub par. She can't carry a match, can't tell a story & can rarely wrestle above 12 minutes (even then, her oppo is doing the legwork). It's a shame, but she just doesn't have what it takes."

[2.0] "Impressive physique and look however when it comes to the composite parts of being a wrestler she falls at each hurdle. She's been trained by some of the best in the world across two of the biggest companies in the world and not only has there been no improvement I honestly think she has gotten worse in a few respects. Can't help but feel she has one foot out the door already and looking to parley wrestling into other opportunities. She looks absolutely incredible on a poster but unfortunately WWE isn't a printing company."

[4.0] "The best way to watch jade's match is to turn it off after her entrance is finished, god man after being babysitted by bianca and written off tv to train she still the same, you can't treat her like she's in aew when there's plenty of women even on nxt who are hella better than her on the ring"

[0.0] "AEW took great care in protecting her because she wasn't good and that's smart. Then she signs with WWE and it seemed like a guarantee she'd get better. She talked a lot about how much more professional her atmosphere is. I don't know what she worked on since signing but timing definitely wasn't one of them. The fact that she appears to have gotten worse in the ring is very startling and puzzling. Her face off with Bianca Belair at the 2024 Royal Rumble looked like a litmus test to see if it was a match the fans wanted. They clearly did but there's zero confidence in Jade's ability at this point. WWE is clearly in a sunk cost fallacy situation with her. She can't have a good match with anyone."

[5.0] "Well, I am still not fan of her at all, but I thought her in ring work is not that bad and quite improving tbh, she had cool presence and star potential. The current problem what I had with her is her being shoved as that special and important, giving that Ronda Rousey treatment. Maybe if she turned heel it will work way better for her and I can truly change mind on her I guess."

[5.0] "An average rating is me being fair, I don't want certain wrestlers having matches with her cos she will make them look not so hood, I like her personally but not when it comes to the ring , maybe she can improve in the future"

[7.0] "Jade Cargill gets sort of a bad rep because she's not the greatest in-ring technician (and with three years experience, it simply takes more reps to get it right.) But she hasn't earned singles and tag accolades by being a slouch."

[3.0] "I find her not a good wrestler. She's pretty, great physique, but in-ring she's sloppy, she botches a lot, too much for a wrestler who is in the top world federation and who is a champion (even if just a tag-team champion, but I have no doubt that she'll compete for the most important titles as well)."

[4.0] "It's undoubtful Jade Cargill has one of the best looks in the current wrestling era. However, much like Goldberg, she fails to improve in the ring and can only work squash matches properly."

[7.0] "Jade Cargill deserves more props as a wrestler...she has undeniable star power, athleticism, and a commanding presence...her in-ring skills are still developing compared to more seasoned performers. She excels at presenting herself as a dominant force, with an impressive physique and strong charisma that make her feel like a big deal whenever she appears. I get why she is the target of a lot of ire...but I can tell she's trying. Also, every story she's involved in is a ton of fun... PLUS LOOK AT THOSE ARMS, BRUV!"

[2.0] "She's a very bad wrestler, like really, unfortunate. She doesn't move well in the ring, she can't do moves for the life of her, botches like a broken machine and her promo skills are mid to bad at best. She's a tremendous athlete, but in order to progress as a wrestler, she needs to wrestle more and an excursion to Marigold would be beneficial."

[3.0] "All looks and no real talent. Think she would also fit better as a heel. Doesn't really get top star crowd reactions either."

[4.0] "Jade Cargill undeniably has star power, her presence, look, and physique are truly standout, the kind that turns heads and makes an impression. She's a compelling powerhouse, and I genuinely enjoyed her pairing alongside Bianca Belair. While she's not completely lacking on the mic, the heavy singles push she's receiving feels premature. Her offense can look awkward, she's prone to botches, and she doesn't yet match the technical skills or athleticism of WWE's top-tier women. Unless that gap closes, she'll likely remain a divisive figure in the wrestling world, more potential than performance, for now."

[4.0] "Not a good wrestler, but she flashes some potential. One of the better looks in the business, she has insane star power. Not sure if she'll ever "get it""

[3.0] "At this point Jade will never be great in the ring only just passable. I feel she would've thrived in the Diva era, but in this era where your actual wrestling ability matters she just pales."

[3.0] "Overwhelmingly bad, Jade cares too much about 'looks' and forget about the important thing of them all, the ring skills which I can very well say that nowadays at least she's blanky like a wall, slow like a turtle, talk to much and deliver very little, every time she's booked in a match, she bring the ratings down to minus five. All I can really give is the 3 points rating which can be told about her mic skills"

[2.0] "I just don't see it at all, I don't like her promos, or her matches, none of her moves do anything for me and her selling is nothing to write home about. Maybe if she had compelling offense I could see her as like femme Goldberg, but not with those non-threatening promos and mid, sometimes sloppy matches."

[2.0] "She has star power and looks like a star. It's just that..... she's not good in the ring or on the mic to follow that up and make good work of it. I thought Jade would develop in WWE but somehow her ring skills seem to have gotten worse. I don't know really, there's potential, but she doesn't seem to want to get better"

[3.0] "She has gotten worse after her are run she is not meant to wrestle in my opinion insane physique thoug."

[3.0] "One of the best looks in wrestling, Jade Cargill is built to be a wrestler. Unfortunately, that stops at looks, as after years in the ring there's no clear sign of improvement in Cargill's skill. Her matches aren't unwatchable, but they're basic and she's usually one of, if not the, worst female talent on the roster in terms of in-ring skill, which made her push in AEW frustrating and the screen time in WWE frustrating as well."

[6.0] "Cargill is a pylon. Oh, she's a relatively attractive pylon. I grant you that. If she doesn't smile. Then, she looks like the Grinch who stole Christmas. With muscles. She's very powerfully built. That's impressive. For 2.5 seconds. Unless you've never seen a girl, or you're the average Fed mark. Then, you just bray like a wounded mule (or a horny goat) for the allotted time (And if it's a Cargille match, you just PRAY there's an Army of talent to carry her! ) and then she goes away. I loathed her on AEW. She came on and she ate all the air out of the room and gave nothing back to the locker room or Company. Compare and contrast that with Mercedes Mone. You know, I sh#t all the f over the CEO in NJPW/Stardom for having done the same thing. Since then, Mone's made me eat my words over and over and over. She's paid back every receipt. With interest. Cargil will never, ever in a million years do that. Because she's NOT a wrestler. She's an oiled up body builder with delusions of celebrity. She wants to be Logan Paul. Unlike him, she has zero physical abilities. And not even negative charisma. I've seen marble with more warmth. But the Fed are giving her the push. Vince would have loved her. "Just look at those muscles! " But Vince she can barely do 3 moves... "But just look at her! " Well, I'm glad HHH is no Vince. Because right now there are two spots left in what's loaded to be one of the greatest women's matches in history. Money In the Bank. And the last f'g person on Earth I want to see, is this plank. Oh, and I'm still giving her a higher than average rating. Because minus all that I said, she is a remarkable specimen. That alone is worth seeing. It's just too bad it's not worth watching. And that there are so many, many, many other girls that are."

[8.0] "An absolute powerhouse with star presence. Jade Cargill burst onto the scene in AEW like a Marvel superhero and quickly proved to be a dominant force. Her presentation, confidence, and undefeated streak made her feel like a big deal. As TBS Champion, she brought legitimacy to the title with a long reign that showcased her as a true attraction. Now with WWE, the potential is sky high if she's booked right and continues growing. She's not polished yet, but she's money. The Next Big Thing"

"As of this writing, we are nearly two years into the Jade Cargill project at WWE. I must admit that at this point, I'm a bit flummoxed as to why they were so quick to sign her after departing AEW, where she was booked as an unstoppable monster babyface, a la Goldberg, who only lost once (incidentally, that loss was her last match for the company). Even Goldberg had to work for a good year before they gave him the belt. Alas, Cargill expressed frustration and chagrin towards the professional wrestling world in her short hiatus - a sense of relief at not being in the "wrestling bubble." Quite ballsy to publicly have this attitude for a shoot, after you've been gifted a career by a money mark and a bunch of talented women who put you over. That kinda soured me on her ever since, and again, some two years later, it's all I can think about when see her delivering the most lifeless generic promos you've ever seen on television. There was a backstage segment she ran with Liv Morgan recently that was maybe the best thing she's ever done - perhaps because it seemed like a real discussion and wasn't in front of the audience. As soon as she comes out with a live mic in her hand, though - it's all downhill. It's kind of the same problem they have with Logan Paul. He obviously can talk - he did it for a living since he was like 15. But when it's time to be a wrestler, something switches. Like he's pretending to be a wrestler as a bit. Jade suffers the same fatal flaw. And sure, they can do all these moves, but they don't know why they're doing them and they don't seem to understand how important the "why" is. To them, wrestling is purely something they are doing because they can. I'm sorry, but that's not good enough. You can have the machine forcing you down our throats week after week. I'll never buy it until I see it in your heart. Until I see that you LIVE for this. That's what separates the "good" or merely "okay" from the Great."

[5.0] "Obviously, a great look but much to be desired in the ring. After seeing her since her return, I do have belief that she can turn it around because she provided us with a pretty solid performance at Mania versus Naomi. We'll just have to see how good she can get throughout 2025."

[0.0] "genuinely a dreadful wrestler. has a fantastic look but it stops there. for all the muscles that she has her strength does not show in the ring at all. for all that they talk about her Division 1 basketball background, she does not appear coordinated in the ring at all. there is not a single thing that she does well, her promos are inauthentic and tacky, she wants to be a movie star but can not cut a convincing promo. i think the wrestling industry just needs to end the Jade Cargill experience. She has failed at both major companies."

[2.0] "Jade Cargill is a shining example of what's wrong with the "aura" mentality. She's shit in the ring for the most part, her mic work is standad at best, and she does the absolute bare minimum amount of character work to qualify for a personality. She's cocky...that's about all I can tell you in regards to personality traits. But hey, she has a good look to her. That totally justifies repeatedly pushing her in favor of far more talented women, and repeatedly putting her in positions that she's just not ready in. (TK, why would you give a complete rookie the longest winning streak and championship reign in the whole company? Hunter, why would you put her in the main roster as soon as you get her when you flat out say you don't believe her training was complete? ) I'll admit, she has some highlights, but the big reason why she's so low is for what she represents. You don't need to actually do a good job so long as you have a strong presence. Cargill is effectively being made to run before she learns to crawl, and seeing as how, even after 4 years, there's barely been any improvement from her, I don't see the problem going away anytime soon."

[4.0] "Bookers have to be very careful with "attraction wrestlers", and Jade Cargill is very much one of those. Cargill emerged in AEW where she impressed with her bursts of power and short promos, with the likes of Mark Sterling and Stokely Hathaway largely speaking for her. It was however telling that she was never booked against the biggest female stars in AEW like Toni Storm, Hikaru Shida and Britt Baker, but she did business the right way by losing twice to Kris Statlander before she left. Cargill's star power has only increased since moving to WWE, but I get the sense they haven't booked her right, keeping her in the ring for too long and exposing her limitations as a worker. They've even beaten her on TV which isn't particularly great. I'm not saying she's a bad wrestler, as she does a lot of things really well and has got herself over in the two biggest wrestling promotions in the world. She just needs to apply herself a bit more with the fundamentals, and rely a bit less on her opponents carrying her. I hope for her sake that happens, as the potential is very much there."

[10.0] "her debut in WWE was needed I didn't know her before but when I met her I liked her I would like to see her awesome fight with charlotte flair because she will definitely be like that please WWE we want it 10/10 her fights are ok there is no problem unfortunately her best fight I rated was a fight where she didn't appear alone and it was a rating of 7 but her character is generally in command and I greet Victoria if she is here. Generally speaking, I see something in her that some people lack *****"

[4.0] "I am a big Jade Cargill fan and was excited to see what she was able to do with the WWE machine behind her. But, uh, nothing really of note. I know she is a bit green, but she has undeniable charisma and presence. She is currently off TV for probably a legitimate injury but even before hand she kinda just floated around. I think she would have done well in NXT as a force of nature but ah well."

[8.0] "She is a star. Not since Bianca Belair's debut have I been as confident that we're currently watching a future titan in the industry. She makes everything feel bigger by her presence and has already delivered a couple of astonishing performances, her progression is phenomenal for someone who's not even been doing this for two years."

[0.0] "Aside from her impressive look she offers nothing. Still awful in the ring, can't cut a promo to save her life and overall just not a compelling wrestler. Failing to improve or show any sign of spark over two different companies is quite impressive. Years of having squash matches and showing no consistent performances in them should have been really telling about her ceiling. She looks lost in between moves, moves that she fails to execute properly. She has a complete lack of understanding when it comes to fundamentals and it's never going to get better for her. She can coast on looks and ''aura'' which will be her only upside."

[5.0] "[Updated Rating, original review dated January 2023] Jade is still pretty green from an in-ring standpoint yet her charisma and star potential are undeniable. Her reign as TBS Champion has been nothing but dominant and it's pretty clear to me that AEW have big plans. For now though, she's alright. I'm interested in seeing where she is, say, two or so years from now."

[9.0] "Jade was my favorite wrestler that was homegrown in AEW, and I can't wait for her to fully flourish in WWE. Her WWE Women's Tag Team Championship reigns with Bianca were great because they really did elevate the title. I think once she steps out on her own, people will see how great she can truly be."

[5.0] "The Epitome of "Aura Merchant", she really stinks, she has horrendous ring skills, and her mic skills aren't good too, Bianca deserves another singles push for carrying Jade the whole year, it's a shame they buried Alba and Isla and feed them to Jade just to make her look good"

[7.0] "Rating is too low on here. Yes, she could definitely improve, but she's objectively a good wrestler. Obviously she looks like a megastar, and could still be one in WWE, she's only 32 after all. I think she will have a great 2025."

[2.0] "I think she stinks. Quintessential aura merchant. She's big. She's strong. She's got the aura, the incredible look. And then the bell rang. I believe she's a terrible in ring performer who gets special treatment because she's rather large. She's been overpushed and I will never get it. AEW couldn't trust her to go over 5 minutes with Athena on a pay-per-view, and that's always stuck with me. I just don't think she's good. Her heart's not in it, she's said she's doing it to go to Hollywood, and that just grinds my gears honestly."

[5.0] "I think she has an incredible aura and an incredible stage presence when she makes her entrance, but everything overflows when she enters the ring. I feel that she needs to have more self-confidence and trust that her moves will turn out well, but even so, I feel that she will progress little by little"
