Jade Cargill On Reactions To Her Being ‘Pushed To The Moon’: “People Used To Say Stuff About Roman (Reigns), Now Everybody Loves Roman”

Cargill also shared a note from Bryan Danielson.
It was at WWE’s 2025 SummerSlam Premium Live Event that Jade Cargill challenged Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women’s Championship. Cargill was unable to emerge victorious, and most recently, on television, she had an interaction with Kiana James and Women’s United States Champion Giulia.
Cargill was interviewed by The Babyfaces Podcast and commented on her ascension in wrestling. She touched on the varying reactions to that ascent and stated that people used to make crazy statements about Roman Reigns as well, but now everyone loves Reigns.
She then recalled training with Bryan Danielson while they were in AEW together, and Danielson being impressed by how comfortable Cargill was so early into her career.
“I’m four years and some change now in this industry and I think the other person I think had the less amount of time was Bianca (Belair) and I think she was 11 years in the game, and people want things so quick and so fast because I’ve been pushed to the moon because I’m gonna be a star and people see that. People used to say stuff about Roman (Reigns). Now, everybody loves Roman. People wanna see Roman more and so, and I’ve had people like Bryan Danielson who literally was like, ‘It took me seven years to feel comfortable. How are you doing this? This is wild. I used to go out and sing the anthem to feel comfortable.’ ‘I don’t know. I’m just out here doing it.’ I always had that thing about me so, you just can’t let people get you down. That’s society. Negativity feeds on negativity.”
Cargill has been with WWE since late 2023. She’s gone on to become a two-time WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion and the 2025 Queen of the Ring winner.
