Jade Cargill firmly addresses the criticisms regarding her perceived inactivity, telling her fans to "cry" if they’re upset about it.
In a bold move, she responded to comments from fellow wrestler Jordynne Grace, who took a jab at her on social media. Grace referenced Cargill's reign as WWE Women’s Champion, highlighting that it has been 75 days without a single title defense. Fans echoed Grace's sentiments, calling for her to take the championship from Cargill while questioning the champion's lack of defenses. One fan even inquired, "How come she has had zero title defenses?" This sparked a wave of discussion among wrestling enthusiasts.
In response, Cargill defended her position by questioning the merit of her challengers, stating, "Y’all want me to defend my title against a nobody. If I’m going to defend my title, it’s going to be against somebody who is competition." This statement reveals her confidence and sets a high standard for her potential opponents.
Cargill captured the WWE Women’s Championship from Tiffany Stratton in November during Saturday Night’s Main Event. While she has not yet defended her title on television, she has been active in WWE's live events, where she has secured victories over well-known competitors like Bayley, a multi-time champion and women's Royal Rumble winner.
WWE typically does not acknowledge the outcomes of live events unless they contribute to ongoing storylines on television—though they do share highlights from these events on their social media platforms. Cargill’s approach to her title reign aligns with WWE’s general stance on live events, adding an element of intrigue as she counters the backlash about her inactivity with defiance, challenging fans who demand to see her title defended.
"Y’all can continue to be angry about it," she tweeted. "You might as well cry. IDGAF." Her bold remarks seem to have stirred up the intended reaction, as WWE is positioning Jordynne Grace as her first challenger.
While many fans took to social media to voice their opinions, some were supportive of Cargill's attitude. One enthusiastic fan remarked, "She responding like this? Yeah, this title run about to be insane."
So, what do you think about Cargill’s approach to her title reign? Is she right to hold out for more competitive challengers, or should she defend her title more frequently? Join the conversation!
