Watching Jade Cargill’s debut year in WWE has been similar to when Brock Lesnar arrived on the scene, according to WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray.
The former AEW TBS Champion signed with WWE in September 2023 and at WWE Backlash: France, captured the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles with Bianca Belair.
On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Bully Ray discussed the title win in detail and why Cargill reminds him of the Beast Incarnate. He said,
“Jade looks the part just as much as anybody else has looked the part in forever. It’s like seeing Brock Lesnar for the first time and you’re just like ‘Holy s**t!’ You saw Jade Cargill for the first time, you’re like ‘Wow, just wow.’ Now you bring her in with all this pomp and circumstance and fan fare and this and that, but you still want to give her the best opportunity to succeed.
“And putting her out there on her own might be a little risky. So how do we protect our investment? We’ll put her with Bianca for a little while. Let’s let them run together. Let’s let her get her legs underneath here. A comfort level. It’s a smart way to go about things.”
Like Cargill, Lesnar captured gold in his rookie year with WWE as he would capture the Undisputed WWE Championship from The Rock at SummerSlam 2002.
Lesnar hasn’t been seen in WWE in 2024 due to being referenced in Janel Grant’s lawsuit. Cargill was drafted to the SmackDown brand in the recent WWE Draft.
