Jade Cargill has released her first statement following her shocking return at WWE Elimination Chamber where she brutally attacked Naomi. The former TBS Champion shared a compelling video message directed by WWE NXT’s newest signee Ricky Saints, formerly known as Ricky Starks in AEW.
In the emotionally charged vignette, Cargill addressed the obstacles she’s faced since joining WWE and made it clear she’s adopting a more aggressive approach moving forward. The statement comes after months of absence following her mysterious backstage attack, which led to her vacating her portion of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.
There are wolves in the shape of women all around me. I can see the way they look into my eyes. I am not them, and they are not me. I weathered every storm that was meant to break me. You can’t help but to talk about me. I saw the look in your eyes as soon as I walked in the door, mapping out how to send me to my demise.
The powerful message continued as Cargill referenced personal hardships she’s endured while establishing herself in WWE. Her words carried particular weight given the context of her return at Elimination Chamber, where she targeted Naomi specifically.
They demanded proof I belong, as if my scars weren’t enough, losing my mother while being a mother, carrying the weight of it all while still thriving. You don’t have to like me, but you will respect me. I’m here because I’ve earned it, every scar, every loss, every step. I will not strike myself for anyone. Don’t mistake my grace for weakness. I’ve played by the rules long enough. Now it’s time for mine. I am one of one. I am that bitch.
Cargill’s declaration that she’s “that bitch” reconnects her with the persona she established during her dominant AEW run, where the phrase became synonymous with her character. This reintroduction of her signature attitude signals a more aggressive approach as she resumes her WWE career.
The video serves as both explanation and warning following her surprising appearance at Elimination Chamber, where she specifically targeted Naomi. This direct confrontation appears to confirm speculation that Naomi was responsible for the backstage attack that sidelined Cargill for months, though WWE has yet to officially confirm this storyline development.
With Cargill now actively declaring her intentions through this pointed statement, WWE’s women’s division faces a significant shakeup heading into the WrestleMania season. Her promise that she’s done “playing by the rules” suggests a more ruthless approach is coming from the imposing superstar.
