WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry recently reckoned the reason WWE has not been willing to sign Jade Cargill, who is currently the AEW TBS Champion. Henry believes that the company didn’t want to give up “enough control.”
Mark Henry opens up on the matter
It is to be noted that Cargill had a tryout with WWE in 2019, but the company chose not to sign her and she eventually signed a contract with AEW in 2020. She won the TBS Championship earlier this year and has been having a dominating run in the company.
Mark Henry, on the Busted Open show, explained why Vince McMahon’s company didn’t sign Jade Cargill before she eventually joined Tony Khan’s company. The Hall of Famer stated that due to some “financial considerations,” WWE chose not to sign Cargill:
“I made that offer to them [WWE] but they didn’t want to relinquish enough control. You know, there was financial considerations and all of that stuff that is personal information. But, I also knew people over there in AEW and I was on ‘Team Jade’ so I was like, ‘Listen, I’ve got somebody for y’all if y’all want her, this is what’s necessary’ – and boom, they picked her up,” said Henry.
Henry had played a major role in help WWE to sign Bianca Belair, and the Hall of Famer reminded everyone on the show that both Belair and Cargill are currently champions in their respective companies. The reigning AEW TBS Champion Jade Cargill has been involved in a heated feud with the former NXT Champion, Athena(Ember Moon in WWE), who made her debut at Double Or Nothing. She has been a thorn on her side, causing some trouble for Jade and The Baddie Section. They are yet to settle the score inside the squared circle and we will have to see when that match could possibly take place.
