Jade Cargill Admits Frustration With Booking Of WWE Women’s Title Run

Jade Cargill Calls Her Recent Championship Reign a “Practice Run” Following WrestleMania Loss
Following her title loss to Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 42, Jade Cargill sat down for an interview with SI’s Takedown, where she reflected on her run as WWE Women’s Champion.
Cargill admitted frustration with her booking as champion, as she wanted more out of her reign. She stated that she wanted to wrestle more and have more competitive matches during her title run. However, she did not get that opportunity.
Jade Cargill then called her recent WWE Women’s Championship reign a “practice run” and promised that when she becomes a champion again, it will be “totally different” from her previous one.
“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.”
Jade Cargill’s recent WWE Women’s Championship run was her first world title reign in WWE. Before that, she had held the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship twice with her former tag team partner Bianca Belair.
