Despite their mounting success, Jade Cargill and Britt Baker both have a growing list of haters. Seeing a newcomer reach this level of success so leads to jealousy and causes fellow competitors to believe that she jumped the line in AEW.
In an interview with “Bootleg Kev,” Jade Cargill discussed the side effects of her success.
“I just came in out of nowhere. These other girls have been grinding on the indies for years; they have a fan base. Like, they’ve given a lot of their time and work and all their bodies to the sport, and here I am, I’m coming in and I look good, and it’s like, ‘Okay, you’re kind of being shot to the top right now.’”
“[Britt is] not even our champ but she’s on TV, she’s right there with our champ, she’s on flyers, she’s on this but she puts asses in seats. So, that’s one woman I had a heart-to-heart with and I spoke about it like, ‘How do you deal with it?’ And she gave me some great advice, and now I could care and give a f*ck less about any of that. I’m placed in a position, and I have to understand that I have to hold my head high and keep it moving. And I have to trust in our owner that he put me into this position for a reason.”
