Jade Cargill Clarifies “Don’t Need Wrestling” Comments

Jade Cargill is shutting down any misconception that she’s not passionate about wrestling after recent comments sparked debate among fans.

During her appearance on New Rory & Mal, the hosts pointed out that some wrestling fans might misinterpret her saying she doesn’t “need” wrestling as a lack of passion. Cargill made it clear that couldn’t be further from the truth.

“No. No. No. No. No. No. I’m beyond passionate about it. The difference is is I—before this I was a child psychologist. Well, I’m married to someone who played baseball for 17 years. He wants me to stay home and live the retirement life with him. We own a professional softball team. I can do that. So, I’m here strictly out of love.”

Cargill explained that unlike some wrestlers who rely on the business as their primary source of income, she’s in WWE by choice — not necessity — and that her commitment comes from pure passion for the sport.

“It’s a difference for someone having to stay in something because this is how they provide for their family. And I commend people that do that. I’m here. I take all the bruises and I take all the slack and all the talk and all that because I genuinely want to be here. I can quit tomorrow and just be like—I would never do that—but I can literally… but you can if you wanted to. I don’t—I would never do that. Right. Because I genuinely love it. And I said what I was going to do and I’m going to do it. Like it is what it is. I’m going to be a legend. I already dreamt it. It’s already out in the universe. Hate it or love it, in 10 years or whatever it is that I become, people gonna sit back and say, ‘Oh, wow. She was really great.’”

Cargill doubled down that her love for wrestling drives everything she does in the ring, and she’s committed to building a career that fans will remember for decades to come.
