Booker T Tips WWE Star To Shock The World At WrestleMania 40

Booker T would love to see a big-name WWE star land a match at WrestleMania.

Jade Cargill might have only wrestled once since signing with WWE, but Booker T thinks she has the potential to turn heads at WrestleMania.

The former AEW star signed with WWE back in September, but to date has spent more time at the Performance Center than on television. Cargill’s only in-ring outing to date came at the Royal Rumble where she enjoyed a huge reaction from the crowd.

However, Cargill is yet to be assigned to a brand, and her road to WrestleMania appears uncertain.

During his Hall of Fame podcast, NXT announcer Booker T was asked about the star having her first WWE singles match at WrestleMania 40.

“I’d love to see more of Jade Cargill myself, to be honest. Just put her in there and let her beat up some people, squash a few girls. I’m sure she’s training. I’m sure she’s down at the PC training on a regular basis, and that might be even better for her. You never know.

The last time we saw Jade Cargill, she looked pretty damn good in the ring. She did not look like she was out of place at all. I think that comes from just that little bit of training, trying to learn that intricate detail as far as why you’re in the ring.

So I think having that training with the WWE, working with those guys down there will definitely give her that little bit of an edge so when she goes to the ring, she’s gonna feel a whole lot more comfortable being in there.

I think it may not be a bad thing, her having a match at Mania, going out there and shocking the world, man, letting the people see what Jade Cargill is all about. I’m not opposed to that. She’s got plenty of time,”

Booker T Planning Return To NXT

In recent weeks the WWE Hall of Famer has been absent from the NXT announce desk, but it seems he won’t be missing for much longer. Speaking on his podcast, Booker T said he plans to be back in around a week after undergoing a medical procedure.

The veteran added that his doctors were pleased with his progress, and he’s back in the gym.
