Nick Aldis weighs in on Jade Cargill’s impact
WWE SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis recently praised Jade Cargill’s charisma and presence within the wrestling industry.
Speaking with Wrestling’s Senior Editor Bill Apter, Aldis commended Cargill’s magnetic aura, underscoring her significant contribution to the business.
“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 commented.
The trio of Belair, Cargill, and Naomi’s arrival on SmackDown marks a significant moment for the brand, and fans eagerly await the unfolding of their storylines under the blue lights.
