Nick Aldis Discusses Jade Cargill’s Impact in WWE
In a recent interview with Bill Apter for Sportskeeda Wrestling, Aldis emphasized the critical role of a wrestler’s physical appearance in the industry, a topic he believes has become somewhat controversial. He praised Cargill’s striking presence, stating:
“She is a force, right? I think one of the things you talk about in wrestling, and I feel like it has become a bit of a sort of taboo subject is the look. But to me, sorry I am always going to be of the opinion that the look is tremendously important. And to me nobody has ever really had the look in more of a way than Jade Cargill does right? You hear about the old adage. The airport test. I have been in the airport with Jade Cargill and watched people you know, just head turning… She is very magnetic,” Aldis expressed. [0:47 onwards]
Potential Challenges on SmackDown
Aldis also touched on the potential challenges Cargill might encounter as she becomes more involved on the main roster. During his appearance on the Gabby AF podcast, he discussed the dynamics within the locker room and how Cargill’s rapid rise and popularity could stir conflicts among the other athletes.
Aldis warned Cargill of this but also expressed excitement about her future in WWE.
“I’d like to think that everyone will be professional, but I know that there are quite a few ladies on our roster who might have some choice words for Jade because they obviously feel like she’s been getting a lot of attention and they realize that sometimes the best way to welcome someone to the bigs is to kind of show them what’s in store for them if they’re going to compete in the bigs.
I’m sure Jade has plenty to say. I think the WWE Universe has been, you know, ever since the Royal Rumble especially, have been really waiting to embrace Jade as part of WWE. I think that the best is very much yet to come with Ms. Cargill, so I’m looking forward to it,” Aldis noted.
As Jade Cargill continues to make her mark in WWE, fans and insiders alike are eager to see how her career will unfold and what milestones she will achieve next in the wrestling world.
