Keith Lee arrived in AEW this week, joining a long list of WWE Superstars who have either left the company to become All Elite or done so after having been released. AEW has been critiqued a fair bit for picking up what has become a fair few former WWE performers. However, there will come a time when AEW stars go the other way, and apparently, Vince McMahon and co. are already eyeing up a few potential steals.
Jade Cargill Has WWE's Attention
The latest on WWE's list of AEW wants is Jade Cargill. That's according to Mat Men Pro Wrestling's Andrew Zarian who said, “people in WWE are interested in her now that they've gotten to see what she can do on TV.” Cargill is currently unbeaten in AEW, winning her 27th match earlier this week on Dynamite.
WWE's interest in Cargill is actually nothing new. The TBS Champion revealed the promotion offered her a contract before she signed with AEW. However, the grueling schedule and the 100-page deal she was sent to flick through and sign put Cargill off and convinced her to opt for AEW instead. She was also told WWE is her family now when she voiced concerns that she would be away from home more than she liked.
Would Cargill Ever Go To WWE?
Cargill does give off a very WWE vibe. Someone with not much wrestling experience but has a look that will stop casual fans in their tracks and maybe draw them in. She's very much learning on the job in AEW and is doing pretty well for someone who doesn't even have 30 matches to her name as of yet. WWE higher-ups are likely ruing the fact that they didn't offer Cargill more to land her signature.
This isn't the first we've heard of WWE being interested in trying to sign someone away from AEW. There's also reportedly interest in Wardlow, and MJF continues to try and convince fans that he might jump ship when his AEW contract expires in 2024. Someone will eventually be the first to move from AEW to WWE, but considering how Cargill reacted to ger previous WWE contract, it probably won't be the TBS Champ.
