Jade Cargill Comments on “Internet Chatter” Over Her Recent “Vacation” Absence from WWE
As noted before, Jade Cargill made her surprise return to WWE at this past March’s Elimination Chamber 2025 event. Prior to her return, Cargill had been out of action for WWE since this past November that led to conflicting reports of her injury situation being genuine or a storyline injury. Cargill had also been dealing with heat over a backstage incident with Shayna Baszler prior to her absence.
A recent episode of The Ringer Wrestling Show featured Cargill as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Cargill’s thoughts about the reports and online chatter from fans about the reason for her recent abscense and backstage incident.
“It’s all fake news. It’s so weird. I don’t feel the need to go to social media to address every single thing that people say. People are going to make up whatever they want. Even if I go on there and say, ‘this is not real.’ When I did see reports, I literally, we laugh at all the stuff that is out there. We literally sit back and laugh like, ‘Who thinks of this?’ People are sitting back behind their computers and creating up all kinds of stories. We just sit back and laugh. I know if I address something, it’s going to grow three heads. Think what you want. As far as my vacation, my man is retired. I need y’all to understand, when I post pictures, it could literally be something from five months ago. How do you know? That’s what kills me. ‘Jade went on vacation.’ How do you know? I show you what I want you to see. People are like, ‘She’s not in the ring.’ You know I’m working out, though. I rarely post gym photos, but you know I’m working out. I’m in the ring all the time working with Ricky Saints. I’m in the gym working so damn hard, but I don’t feel the need to have validation from people who one, people don’t want to see me succeed in this industry. I could care less. You know who I care about? The people that love me and know exactly what I want out of this. I work damn hard. When it comes to all that stuff, it’s just chatter. Everybody is mature enough that we can come to one another and say, ‘Hey, what was this?’ I’ll let the internet do the internet. Good or bad, they are talking about me.”

Triple H Comments on Potential Future International WrestleMania Event
The Daily Mail held a recent interview with WWE CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque. One of the topics discussed included Levesque’s thoughts about the potential of WWE holding a WrestleMania event overseas in the future.
“To answer the WrestleMania question, that’s like the Super Bowl. So the process of that going other places, people don’t understand the logistics of what that takes. Just going to Las Vegas, I can’t tell you the logistical effort that takes. They’ll be in the market for weeks setting up the set, people on the ground running stuff. So when that becomes international, the logistics become even harder. That’s the challenge, but we’re up for the challenge.”
CM Punk Comments on WWE Women’s World Title Triple Threat Match Would Main Event WrestleMania 41 If It was Up To Him
A recent episode of The Ringer Wrestling Show podcast featured CM Punk as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Punk’s thoughts about how the WWE Women’s World Championship Triple Threat match of Rhea Ripley vs. Bianca Belair vs. IYO SKY (c) would main event WrestleMania 41 if he was booking the show.
“People will constantly cherry-pick things I have said; they do it for everybody. ‘Oh, you said this one time 15 years ago.’ Yeah, I said it then, I meant it then, 15 year later, the context isn’t there and certain things change and it doesn’t necessarily apply. I’m very much a ‘title match main event.’ There is the sound byte all those fucking losers are going to steal and put on their Twitter. If it were up to me, believe it or not, Rhea, Bianca, and IYO would be the main event. I’m not saying which night. I can tell you that if I was in Triple H’s spot, I would gravitate towards that. My reasoning for that is, when is IYO ever going to get another chance? Bianca has done it already. It would be great if she got to do it again. Rhea hasn’t done it. You look at people that say ‘WrestleMania main event,’ Rhea Ripley is top of the list. I almost look at it more, that mindset that I have, it’s a detriment as a booker because I might not be putting business in front of my feelings. I’m putting my feelings in front of business. I think all three of those ladies are supremely talented. I know they’re going to steal the show.
I want to see my friends and my colleagues accomplish things. It doesn’t so much matter to me if I accomplish them. I know what it feels like to have that chip on my shoulder and be like, ‘This is my year, right?’ I’ve done things for 11.5 months, and then somebody comes in and goes, ‘Nope.’ It happens year after year and it gets a little much. Here I am arguing against myself. It’s funny how life works. I never thought I’d be saying any of that stuff ten years ago. I also think it’s kind of indicative of our locker room and the embarrassment of riches we have talent-wise that so many different people could be the main event. Bianca, Jey, Cody, obviously. Nobody is going to tell me that John Cena shouldn’t be main eventing WrestleMania in his last Mania. Stay vigilant, everybody. Bust your ass and if it’s meant to be, it’ll come to pass and I’m obviously living, breathing proof of that.”
