Jade Cargill's possible farewell to the AEW fans during Rampage amid WWE rumors
In a shocking turn of events, former TBS Champion Jade Cargill appeared to bid farewell to AEW's fans during this week's Rampage tapings. Cargill reportedly said goodbye as she hinted at leaving the promotion after her clean defeat to Kris Statlander.
Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio revealed that after getting defeated by Statlander clean, Cargill suddenly came off as a babyface, waving to the fans as if she was bidding farewell.
"[Kris] Statlander beat her clean, it was said to be maybe the best Jade Cargill match that she's ever had, Brandon Phillips, who's her [Jade's] husband, was there. Some good near falls, the crowd was very into it, and when Kris won, Jade came off as a babyface, waved to the crowd like she was leaving, they hugged and people were surprised because people who were there said that it very much felt like she's saying her farewell," Meltzer reported.
It's unknown whether Cargill is leaving All Elite Wrestling or not, but if she does, she would be a major pickup for WWE.
