Jade Cargill’s Camp Denies Asking for Holiday Time Off Amid WWE Locker Room Frustration

Jade Cargill’s return at Elimination Chamber got fans talking, but behind the scenes, her absence has still been a hot topic among WWE talent. However, sources close to Cargill are now pushing back on claims that she requested time off during WWE’s holiday tour.

According to Fightful Select, despite locker room talk suggesting Cargill asked for time off and was denied, those close to her insist she never made that request. This directly contradicts previous reports that framed her absence as a potential scheduling conflict rather than an injury situation.

Originally, Cargill’s time away sparked speculation, with some wrestlers questioning whether she was actually injured or just off TV after not getting the holiday break. However, WWE higher-ups confirmed that she was injured but was willing to return much earlier than she did. The company ultimately held her out longer to ensure she was fully cleared, giving her extra time at the WWE Performance Center before bringing her back.

Now, with sources shutting down the holiday time-off rumors, the real question is whether Cargill’s absence was misinterpreted or if there’s still lingering tension behind the scenes. Either way, her “demanding respect” promo before Elimination Chamber didn’t go unnoticed, with some in the locker room reportedly taking it personally.
