AJ Lee and Jade Cargill currently share an unexpected distinction within WWE as the only performers to maintain undefeated WrestleMania records on the active roster. This notable achievement highlights their impact on the promotion during their appearances at the biggest event of the year.
Jade Cargill, who transitioned from AEW to WWE in 2023, quickly built a strong following prior to her arrival due to her impressive performances between 2020 and 2023. AJ Lee, on the other hand, marked her return to WWE after a decade last month on SmackDown, preparing for a high-profile tag team match at Wrestlepalooza alongside CM Punk against Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch.
The Unbroken WrestleMania Streak Shared by Two Top Stars
Although AJ Lee and Jade Cargill have yet to share screen time or significant interaction, their paths have converged with this unique WWE record. Both women hold undefeated WrestleMania records, standing at two victories each, making them the longest active WrestleMania winners in the current WWE roster.
Jade Cargill’s inaugural WrestleMania appearance took place at WrestleMania 40 in 2024, where she competed in a tag match alongside Bianca Belair and Naomi. Together, they defeated Damage CTRL members Asuka, Dakota Kai, and Kairi Sane. Later that year, Cargill secured a singles victory over Naomi, demonstrating her rapid rise in WWE.
AJ Lee’s first WrestleMania appearance was a landmark moment in 2014 when she successfully defended the Divas Championship in the Vickie Guerrero Invitational against multiple opponents. The following year, she teamed with Paige to take on The Bella Twins, further cementing her WrestleMania legacy before her hiatus and eventual return.
CM Punk’s Insight on AJ Lee’s Connection to Jade Cargill
Both CM Punk and Jade Cargill share a history from AEW before transitioning to WWE in 2023. CM Punk, married to AJ Lee, revealed in a 2022 interview with Gareth Von Kallenbach from Skewed and Reviewed that AJ Lee admired Jade Cargill as well as fellow wrestler Britt Baker. He suggested that should AJ decide to wrestle again, these two performers might be key figures to bring her back in the ring due to their blend of talent and appeal.
“Sometimes she’ll be like, ‘Tell me when the girls are on.’ She’s a big fan of Jade [Cargill]. I think women like Jade and Britt [Baker] especially, if she’s ever going to want to wrestle, I think they’re the ones that can draw her in based on looks and ability and the work.” [Gareth Von Kallenbach, interview with CM Punk]
Implications for WWE and Future Match-Ups
AJ Lee and Jade Cargill’s unbeaten WrestleMania records add intrigue to WWE’s future booking decisions, especially with their return and rising prominence. AJ Lee’s scheduled tag match at Wrestlepalooza represents one of her first major matches since returning, while Jade Cargill continues to establish herself as a dominant force in the women’s division.
The connection noted by CM Punk, along with the shared WrestleMania success, suggests WWE could capitalize on this storyline potential in upcoming events. Fans and analysts will likely watch closely for opportunities where these two might eventually face each other, either as allies or rivals, enhancing WWE’s women’s division narrative.
