Jade Cargill Explains Why She Turned Down The WWE’S 100 Page Contract!

 

Speaking on Talk Is Jericho, Cargill recalled receiving an offer from WWE, following her tryout. The AEW star noted that WWE questioned her passion for pro-wrestling, but ultimately sent over a 100-page contract for her to sign.

Cargill revealed that AEW made her feel like more than just a number, noting that she didn’t want to end up in a cookie-cutter system.

Also arguing that AEW deals provide more job security, Cargill said:

“AEW came about. I came here, got the experience and I felt calm. You and I, we had this conversation in the car and it made me feel at ease about the decision I wanted to make. I didn’t have to relocate. I felt at home. I could call the owner of our company and talk to him.

“He knew my name and purpose. He knew that I wanted to do this. That mattered to me. I wasn’t just a number. He knew exactly who I was. That made me feel comfortable. Yes, the other company was pissed off that they sent me a 100 page contract, but I made the best decision for my family and for myself. Look at me, I don’t think I would be anywhere close…I know I made the best decision, and you made me make the best decision.

“(WWE has a) Cookie-cutter system, that’s what I didn’t want. I didn’t want to be a number. One thing that stood out to me was that I could call and text TK and he knows who I am. That mattered. I’ve always been a believer and I’ve always been an underdog. I love being the underdog and we’re hungry. I want to be part of something that is hungry and wants to change things.

“That’s why I came here. The locker room, I felt at ease. I didn’t feel like it was a bullying system or athlete vs. wrestling type of system. It felt natural and easy.

“There’s more security. There’s a safety net here. (EJ Nduka) gave up everything he had, had a newborn baby, and got cut with no warning. He gave everything. I remember when I told him I was thinking about coming [to AEW], he couldn’t believe it. ‘Why would you ever choose (WWE) over (AEW)?’ You don’t understand. I feel good here.

“I don’t want to be cut or have to worry. I feel like somebody and I don’t want to be a number. He was so for this company and look at him. I’m like, damn, that sucks. You were all about this company, we talked about this, you tried to convince me to come over, you just had a baby, your wife passed the bar in Florida for your career. It sucks. I know I made the best decision.”
