Recent developments have illuminated previously undisclosed Jade Cargill WWE championship plans, as reports surface that the wrestler was set for a major title opportunity before unforeseen changes altered her trajectory. Cargill, currently gearing up for a high-profile match on RAW, faces pivotal moments in her WWE career as fans await to see if those original plans could yet come to fruition.
Plans for a Championship Run Take an Unexpected Turn
Earlier in the year, Jade Cargill was reportedly positioned for a significant push within WWE, with the organization envisioning her as a champion by the time WrestleMania 41 approached. These details emerged from commentary made by Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer, who shared that Cargill was not only set to hold a title but defend it on WWE’s grandest stage. However, following an injury that sidelined her last year, WWE opted to change direction, leaving the anticipated championship run unsettled.
“The perfect thing for Naomi to cash-in is Jade [Cargill] as champion, as far as like how the storyline goes, & you know, Jade was supposed to be champion if she hadn’t gotten hurt. Jade was supposed to be champion by WrestleMania, and defending it at WrestleMania,” Dave Meltzer said. —Dave Meltzer, The Wrestling Observer
Cargill’s Hiatus and Return Pave the Way for New Rivalries
Cargill’s absence from WWE programming was explained in storyline fashion, as she was removed after a backstage ambush on SmackDown in November 2024. The assailant was ultimately revealed to be Naomi, setting up a heated rivalry. Cargill made her return to action at Elimination Chamber 2025, seeking retribution and reigniting her quest for WWE gold. This return positioned her in the ongoing Queen of the Ring tournament, which carries significant implications for her championship aspirations.
Queen of the Ring Tournament Offers Redemption Path
This week on RAW, Cargill is set to compete against Roxanne Perez in the Queen of the Ring tournament semifinals, a crucial step that could put her back in championship contention. The eventual winner of the match will challenge Asuka in the finals at Night of Champions, with the overall tournament victor earning a WWE title shot at <a href="https://cynicaltimes.org/tag/summerslam/”>SummerSlam later this year. This structure provides Cargill with a tangible opportunity to rekindle her path toward a WWE championship reign, despite earlier interruptions to her ascent.
Cargill’s Vision for Her WWE Future
Despite the obstacles, Cargill remains confident about her place in WWE and what lies ahead. In a conversation with Sportskeeda Wrestling, the former AEW standout articulated her ambition and outlook for the future. Addressing both her critics and supporters, she shared an unfiltered perspective on her journey and stature in the industry.
“So, I couldn’t care less because my check still clears and I’m having fun doing what I’m doing,” Cargill continued. “I’m working with the best right now. Who would say no to the position I’m in right now? No one, no one. And I can’t help that God just gave me amazing looks and I’m going out there and killing it. I’m sorry, if that comes off cocky, it is what it is. I’m gonna be a legend. I’m gonna be a legend. And people can hate it, but it’s just funny because at the end of the day people are gonna say, ‘I seen the vision from the beginning,’ so it’s inevitable.” —Jade Cargill, WWE Superstar
Jade Cargill’s assertion underscores both her self-belief and her determination to leave a legacy, comments that resonate with the emotional stakes surrounding her current narrative in WWE.
