Jade Cargill discusses the woman that many fans hope will take her TBS Championship, Kris Statlander.
Statlander is currently out of action with a knee injury that she suffered last year in September.
Speaking to Ella Jay of SEScoops, Cargill was asked about a potential showdown with Statlander.
“I think fans like just want to believe in something because they want me to lose so damn bad. But I mean, that’s glass woman. If we’re talking sports right now, what coach is gonna put a player in that just came back, with no type of practice, with no type of game? You’re just going to throw her in there and swim? That’s wild to me. That’s just crazy. So, I’m not worried about that. I’ll let her get some reps up and then she can come see me on my time. I’m just so tired of all these women thinking that they can just step to me, ask for a match. I’m just over it. It’s all on my time. I’ve been here for so long, I think I deserve that type of respect and I’m just going to have to get Mark [Sterling] in line about that,” she said.
Cargill continued, “Let me think about it. I don’t want to hurt her. I would rather — let me see what she could do. Let me see if she’s worthy, because I think she needs to get her endurance back and we can go from there. And let’s just make it a good match. Let’s make it a good match. Let me give her time, get her agility up, get her mind together. And then, she can go talk to Mark, and Mark can figure out if it’s worth it, if it’s a money match or if it’s not a money match. Right now, I think the upper card is money matches. That’s where I want to be at, so we’ll see.”
