Jade Cargill has signed for WWE, and now she has explained why.
Earlier today it was announced that Cargill had signed for the promotion and Triple H welcomed her to the company in another social media post.
Cargill has signed a multi year deal with the company, but it is unknown if she will start in NXT or on the main roster.
Speaking on The Ringer’s Masked Man Show, Cargill discussed her decision to join WWE.
“It feels great. I felt like I was in preparation for the grand stage. I felt like this was always the mission. I felt like the shoe fit. I felt like this was going to happen. Honestly, this was all expected. I’m excited to be here,”
“I want to create a legacy. I want to be in the Hall of Fame. I want to wrestle with the best women in the world. There is no grander stage than this stage. The opportunities are endless with this company. It was a no brainer. It was very welcoming. I didn’t have any second thoughts about it at all. It was an easy choice. It wasn’t easy, but it was easy.

Jade also credited Cody Rhodes with helping make her decision with regard to joining WWE.
“He was top three, and not third. He is a phenomenal man. I’ve seen what the business did for him, I’ve seen him be the stellar athlete that he is. I didn’t see any different for myself. He was one of the guys that led me to a great decision,”

Cargill was then asked if she thought she hit a ceiling in AEW.
I wouldn’t say it’s a ceiling. I would just say that the route I wanted to take was different and the route I wanted to embark on was different. I didn’t see, over there, where I could fit it. The only way I could do it was coming to the WWE Universe. I bet on myself and I made the best decision coming here.”
