"I was picked on growing up because I was so muscular. Like they'll say, 'Oh, she's a man.' But I seen these two women (Chyna and Jazz) actually, Jacqueline as well, and I was like, 'Damn, like they look great.' And the fact that they have so much confidence. They walking out there. They don't give a damn who you are, what you about. They're going to show you what they're about. I was just like, 'Yeah, I like that. I have to embody that.'

Jade Cargill wants a dream match against IYO SKY

In the same appearance on the Club 520 podcast, Jade Cargill revealed that she wants to face IYO SKY in a singles match. Cargill praised SKY for being one of the best in the world while pointing out to the hosts that The Genius of the Sky hasn't shown her full arsenal of moves in WWE yet.

"To be honest, I feel like she tones it down. I feel like she does 'cause when she was in Stardom in Japan, if you see her old stuff, it's insane. She does not even use half of her move set. Oh my gosh, she's amazing. I can't wait to have a match with her," Cargill said.

Cargill and SKY have never faced each other one-on-one, but they have fought in tag team action when Jade was with Bianca Belair and SKY was with Kairi Sane.
