Jade Cargill found herself in a compelling backstage encounter on WWE SmackDown, sharing a staredown with the members of Damage CTRL.
The height difference between Cargill and others caught the attention of Dutch Mantell, who discussed the intriguing moment and potential booking ideas for the former AEW star on Smack Talk.
While WWE has exercised patience in building Jade Cargill’s character, she is already being positioned as a prominent figure with her sights set on Iyo Sky’s women’s title.
In a backstage segment, Cargill encountered Sky and her partners, creating a tense atmosphere until the sudden intervention of Nick Aldis.
During the latest Smack Talk, Dutch Mantell expressed his surprise at Jade Cargill’s towering height, emphasizing how she stood out prominently beside other stars in the brief segment.
Mantell remarked,
“That girl. How tall is she? Like, 6 feet, at least? Because she looked, those little Japanese girls looked like damn near midgets next to her. She is right there at it! But she is (tall)!”
With Dakota Kai’s betrayal of Bayley, the women’s Royal Rumble winner finds herself in need of allies on the journey to WrestleMania. Mantell proposed the idea of Jade Cargill stepping in as a babyface superstar supporting Bayley in her feud against the former teammates.
He suggested,
“Well, that would be a good way to break her in, or well, maybe they don’t want to do it. Hey, that’s why they have a creative team; they could do whatever they want to do.”
From the day of her WWE signing, it was evident that Jade Cargill would be positioned as a title contender. However, incorporating her into an angle involving Bayley and Damage CTRL could serve as a strategic approach to acclimate her to the WWE landscape.
As the storyline unfolds, the WWE Universe awaits to see how this potential alliance and rivalry will shape Cargill’s trajectory in the company.
