Jade Cargill Comments on Potential of All-Women’s AEW Event & State of AEW’s Women’s Division

A recent episode of NBC Sports’ Ten Count podcast had Jade Cargill as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Cargill’s thoughts on the potential for an all-women’s event in AEW in the future.

“That would be great if we could. I know for a fact that the women in the locker room, all of them could give five-star matches, we just need the time to do it and the time to shine. We have a very talented roster of ladies. It’s just, we have one match a show and we’re trying to do the best to perform and maximize the minutes we’re given …

The matchups, the faces that haven’t been on Rampage or Dynamite in many months, it would be a stellar show. I’m very certain of that. Especially with not having to worry about fighting for positions or anything, just an all-women’s show and everyone has time.”

Cargill also gave her thoughts about AEW’s Women’s division currently only being given one match per show.

“I’m new to the industry, so I’m going to step back and watch how things are going. I haven’t worked in other industries. We’re going to keep maximizing the time we have and kill it and prove that we are worthy for more time.”
