Jade Cargill isn’t bothered by the noise around her WWE Women’s Championship reign — in fact, she’s feeding off it.
After recently celebrating 100 days as champion and drawing criticism for her limited number of title defenses, Cargill addressed the doubters head-on during an interview with CHGO Sports on February 26, 2026. And if anyone expected her to sound defensive, they got the opposite. When asked about fans questioning her reign due to limited defenses, Cargill immediately shut down the narrative.
“I’ve always proven people wrong. I don’t care. Guess what? They didn’t think I’d get this far, and look at me — I’m a champ.”
She made it clear that outside opinions don’t dictate how she views her run — or how she plans to continue it.
“Regardless of what y’all say, I’m going to do what I want to do. It’s not about what y’all want — it’s about what I want. And at the end of the day, it’s about what my boss wants. My boss is happy with me. If my dancing partner is happy with me, that’s all that matters. I care about the people who sign my checks. So keep going.”
Rather than push back against criticism, Cargill leaned into it. She argued that even negative attention only builds her brand and makes her more visible — and that trending online only strengthens her position.
“The good thing about all this? I love when people talk about me — good or bad. Y’all got me trending. And you know what that does? Your friends who don’t even watch wrestling are going to see it and say, ‘Okay, who is this girl everyone’s talking about?’ Then they’re going to see how fine I am. They’re going to say, ‘Oh my gosh, I want to watch wrestling. Look at that body. What does she do? She’s picking people up and throwing them around?’ And then they realize I’m the WWE Women’s Champion. So I can’t be that bad.”
She even compared the criticism to what comes with greatness, making it clear that even Michael Jordan had haters.
“Regardless of how they feel, keep talking about me. Even Michael Jordan had haters. That’s what comes with the crown. And trust me, I’m proud enough to carry it. Keep it up. Keep it coming. Keep talking about me. Keep me trending.”
Cargill’s message is simple: doubt her if you want — just don’t stop talking about her. With over 110 days in the books and critics still vocal, the limelight isn’t fading anytime soon. The question now is whether more defenses are coming — or if Jade is content letting the conversation do the heavy lifting.
Do you think Jade Cargill needs more title defenses to silence critics, or is dominance about presence as much as matches? Let us know below.
