WWE doesn’t plan to take their time with Jade Cargill as the company reportedly aims to get her on television sooner than later.
A new report from PWInsider Elite has details as where and when Jade Cargill may make her way to WWE programming. According to Mike Johnson, the brand that Cargill will likely make her WWE debut on won’t be on NXT, but rather WWE Raw. With WWE making a major deal out of signing the former AEW star, it left many to wonder if the company would put Cargill down in NXT or if she’d make an immediate impact on the main roster.
Additionally, PWInsider reports that Cargill is on tap to appear on television by the end of October, or perhaps even sooner. A follow-up report from PWInsider Elite said that Cargill is currently scheduled to be at WWE Fastlane this weekend.
The report might come as a blow to Bobby Lashley who wanted to work with Jade Cargill on SmackDown.
Possible Reasons Why Jade Cargill Is Joining WWE Raw
Plenty of footage and photos were taken of Cargill walking into the WWE Performance Center and training in the PC ring as well, but her reported Raw roster spot makes sense considering the names that are on the brand. Heavy hitters such as Becky Lynch, Nia Jax and Rhea Ripley are on the brand.
Another reason that Cargill could have been put on Raw is to help build the hype of the brand as the company is looking to secure a new TV deal for the end of 2024. SmackDown is already signed on to start airing on USA Network once they end their Fox run, and the only two WWE TV properties left to be courted is NXT and Raw.
In a new update as of November 2023, Jade Cargill’s WWE training partner has been revealed.
