Booker T is pleased to see Jade Cargill as a WWE Superstar as he expects very little would be done with her had she remained with AEW.
Cargill signed with WWE in September 2023 after an impressive run in AEW that saw her become the first TBS Champion. Her 508-day reign is the longest of any AEW Champion.
On a recent edition of his “Hall of Fame” podcast, Booker T discussed the ‘Storm’ and what her prospects would have been had she remained in AEW. He said,
“When looking at the roster in AEW as far as the women goes, it’s a no-brainer. She would be doing nothing in AEW if she was still there other than what she was doing which was nothing. She was having menial matches that didn’t do anything for her as far as her learning, just going out there and beating girls and padding her record. They were just squash matches.
“Learning on the fly, is not a great system for learning, again having those types of matches where you’re not working with the girls on the main roster, so to speak, the Britt Bakers. I don’t think Jade Cargill and Britt Baker spoke once in AEW. How can she be learning in a system like that?
“So I think her moving to WWE and being in that system, she’s going to get a whole lot more out of it as well as the after effect when it’s all over is how big her star is going to be. I think that what’s going to matter more than anything is how big her star is going to be.”
Cargill was on the victorious end of a six-woman tag-team match at WrestleMania 40 (Night One) and defeated Chelsea Green on the post-WrestleMania 40 edition of RAW.
