Jade Cargill Reveals Real Reason She Chose Pro Wrestling Career

WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill says the reason she chose a career in professional wrestling is simple — she loves proving people wrong.

While speaking with Hawks AF, Jade Cargill opened up about what drew her to the wrestling business in the first place. According to Cargill, she’s always been motivated by challenges, especially when people doubt what she’s capable of doing. Instead of being discouraged by criticism, Cargill said hearing someone say she can’t accomplish something only pushes her harder.

“I welcome a challenge. I love when people tell me I can’t do something because I’m the type that’s like, ‘Okay, watch this. I’m going to do it twice, and I want you to see this.’”

That mindset, she explained, played a major role in why she decided to pursue a career in professional wrestling: “I love when people tell me I can’t do this or that because it just pushes me more.”

Cargill also admitted that while the challenge is part of the appeal, the physical side of wrestling can be extremely demanding. To explain that point, she recalled a brutal injury she suffered on live television back in October when her brow was completely split open.

“Is it tough? It’s still tough. You can’t see it, but I had my brow entirely split open at the beginning of October.”

The injury happened when she collided with the steel steps during a match, causing a deep cut that quickly began pouring blood: “I hit some steps and it split open on live TV, and it was extremely bad.”

According to Cargill, the adrenaline of performing kept her from realizing how serious the situation actually was until moments later. She explained that the moment she realized something was wrong came when she was about to climb onto the announcers’ table and celebrate.

“It was so bad that I had to get three layers of stitches, but it happened on live TV and I didn’t realize how bad it was until later. I was about to get on the announcers’ table and beat my chest like King Kong, and the monitor was facing me.”

That’s when Cargill noticed that the entire arena had already seen the gruesome injury before she did. Once she looked down and saw the amount of blood, the seriousness of the situation became impossible to ignore.

“The entire arena saw it before I did. When I looked down, there was a puddle of blood. I looked at the front row and all the women turned away in disgust. It was crazy.”

Even with moments like that, Cargill made it clear that the challenge and intensity of pro wrestling are exactly what attracted her to the industry in the first place.
