Jade Cargill: A Match Marred by Mistakes
Jade Cargill has long been recognized for her incredible athleticism, star power, and undeniable presence in the ring. With a look that screams “superstar” and an undefeated streak that cemented her as a dominant force in AEW, Cargill has all the tools to be a generational talent. However, not every performance is a home run, and in one of her more recent matches, Jade struggled with timing, execution, and overall ring awareness — leading to a performance riddled with uncharacteristic mistakes.
From the opening bell, something felt off. Cargill appeared hesitant in her movements, lacking the usual confidence she brings to every bout. Basic transitions between holds looked awkward, and at times, she seemed out of sync with her opponent. One of the most noticeable errors came during a botched pump kick attempt, where Jade missed her target entirely, forcing both women to scramble to recover the spot. The audience picked up on it quickly, and the energy in the arena shifted.
Later in the match, an attempted power move saw her opponent land awkwardly, raising concerns among fans about safety. While no one appeared to be seriously injured, the miscue disrupted the flow and added to the growing list of problems in the bout. There were also moments where Jade visibly called spots mid-match, which broke immersion and highlighted a lack of fluidity.
It’s important to recognize that every wrestler has off nights, especially those still developing their in-ring craft. Jade’s rise in professional wrestling has been meteoric, and with limited in-ring experience compared to others, she’s learning on the job in front of millions. That kind of pressure isn’t easy to manage, and not every match will be perfect.
Despite the sloppy execution and timing issues, Jade maintained her composure and finished the match strong. Her charisma and physical presence still shone through, reminding fans why she’s considered a future main-event star. But this performance was a reminder that raw potential must be backed by consistent ring work, timing, and attention to detail.
If Cargill and her team use this match as a learning experience, it could ultimately be a turning point in her growth. Every great wrestler has faced setbacks — it’s how they respond that defines their legacy.
