Cargile. Jay, thanks so much for taking the time today, No problem, Thank you for having me absolutely and you know we are hot off the heels of WrestleMania, the biggest WrestleMania of all time, which was your first one, my first one that I attended It was incredible seeing all that in person, and I can only imagine what that's like being a performer on that big stage. Right. You've been in wrestling for a while now, but your first time at WrestleMania just kind of give us the deep dive on all
that went into that. It was amazing. I've never been in front of that many people in my life for any type of performance. The bigger the better for me, though, more people, the more I can get into myself, the more I'm gonna act up and go crazy on the stage. It was my first time as well at that. I've never attended a WrestleMania.
I always was if you were at home. So for me to be there on stage, in front of that many people, in front of a bunch of people backstage that wanted to see me do amazing and go out there and excel, it was something that I have never been a part of. And the fan base, the WWE universe, there was just something that is unmatched. Yeah, you know, when you talk about moments that you've had here in the WWE, they've kept you very close to the vest and and
for for very much good reason. I mean, you look at yourself and we could just even see, Like, I'm pretty sure you're probably tired of hearing it's star written all over you and the WW kind of you always has known how to present them. You know. You made your debut at the Royal Rumble and you had of course even had the mix up of Impact wrestlers TNA wrestlers, and you faced off with Bianca bell Air and then you ended up having a moment with her at WrestleMania. So now what was that like?
Sort of I mean, you sort of just got thrust it into it and you're at some of the biggest you know, pay per views. So you had the Rumble and then you have Mania, and then you have the SmackDown leading up to Mania. So like, what has that been like with your selective appearances that they had me that they've they made it mean so much more than one year on TV. You know what, we had a plan with stuck to the plan. Mania was never in the plan, so it
was just sprung upon me. This is working with Bianca has been a dream because this is somebody that everybody pinned against each other. You know, everybody want to see us more so against one another rather than working with one another. And like I told everybody, just trust the plan like best believe everybody. Everything is written. They have things planned out for weeks and months in advance. So just like everybody, just stay patient, Just stay patient as
long as I mean as well as the things I'm doing right now. You know there's a plan to everything we're doing. You don't think all this is thought out, especially with me. They want to present me in the best way possible like they have been doing, and they want me to go out there and excel and kill the business because they know I can do that and they're trusting to put me out there to do these things. But it's been
great. I mean, they follow through with the plans. You know, I have a great relationship with Nick and I have a great relationship with Paul, and we're sticking to the plan. Yeah, that's great to hear. And you know you mentioned Bianca. A lot of people put you guys together as possible WrestleMania match. You en up teaming together, but there's got to be a lot of you know, it's a lot of fresh blood out there
for you being a new superstar in WWE. So, like, what are some of those those females that you want to get in there with like maybe name drop a few dream matches that you got that it could be on the docket here soon. I have some unfinished business with Naya Jacks, so that
would be great. I think that'll be an amazing match. The real Ripley's obviously she's injured right now, but I know she's gonna come back gunning, and hopefully I'm holding that belt when she comes back, because one thing I know is how to hold a streak down and how to go out there and dominate and the kick butts left and right. So that would be a great match as well. Eventually. I mean, if things don't work out,
I think we're doing phenomena right now, Bianca. That's something that people have always wanted to see, and us just working alongside each other right now in the same ring at that with Nailmi and we all were a part of different promotions as of last year. It's a phenomenal thing to see. You know. We talked about Cincinnati Friday Night SmackDown next week. It's a big one because it's the draft and that's always that's always been a fun thing that the
WWE has added on which superstars are going to go where. I know what. You probably been a lifelong wrestling fan. There's probably always that thought. I would love to be on Monday Night Raw. It's the longest running episodic TV show ever. But then you have Friday Night SmackDown, which has creeped up in the last couple of years as the really big show that everyone wants
to watch, even though it's on Friday night. So working on Monday, working on Friday, where do you hope that you go next week wherever? Since me, I'll be fine either Or. I wasn't thinking that I was going to be a SmackDown initially and it worked out the way, and I love smack Down. The locker room is phenomenal, but I won my busting up in e RAW and showing them what I'm about. Either or is fine
with me. I love my Fridays, though, I will say that, but then again, I love my Mondays, so right or, as long as I have a schedule, I'm fine with that. If they need me to do both shows, I'll do both shows that I feel like I'm eventually am. So whoever wants me, come get me. I love it. There's the sales pitch right there, go get Jade. So you know,
you talked about the locker room. You were in a different promotion in the last couple of years you're in. We now, like, what's been the locker room around, Like, like all we hear on the outside is it's such a better like atmosphere nowadays than it has been in the past. So just what's been your experience with that the locker room here? The women are very supportive. They want to see everybody win. They want to just keep on like topping on each other, like, Okay, you had a great
match. It's very competitive in a healthy way. It's like you had a great match, I'm gonna go out there and have a phenomenal match, and the next person is like, I'm gonna have one better than that. So everybody's just trying to I'll do the other in a very healthy way because we want to put off for women's sports. Right now, we have the best women's locker room that could ever happen right now, and they've all put in work. Like they've all put in work, they've all worked with one another.
Being that I'm the new person on the block, they just want to see me succeed, you know, everybody's supportive. Everybody's like what you need, Like if anything is going wrong, Like my first match on Raw, actually I was having a little mini mel time and everybody came to me and was just like, what do you need, Like if you need this, you need to lace up your boots, I got you. You need to
take off your boots, I got you. Everybody's just very supportive. It's a very healthy locker room, very experienced locker room, and everybody just wants everybody to go out there and excel because we're putting off the next generation and we're trying to show not trying, but we're out there doing it and showing why this is the best locker room and women's wrestling. We talked about your your presentation and like Billy Billy mentioned, we're at WrestleMania. We had we
had the we had the press box took up. We even got to hang out with our Gutscha for a couple couple of minutes. It was an absolute fun time, but you know it was you know, when you're out there, it was pretty cold, right, you know when you make your entrance. So like I just kind of as, here's a mark question for you, Jay just as a how much does how much? Does that play a
factor once you get into the ring an outdoor stadium like that. Now, I've always heard that the ring is like heated, like once you start getting to a new matches, Is it good or was the Philly weather just kind of cutting through you all night when we were going over our interests initially that weather and the sun was out at that time, that was cutting through everything.
But they put heaters in the ring a little bit, and I think you're adrenaline and everything pumping and going, and you out there trying to put on your best The weather and how cold it was was kind of in the background at that point. Me being on the outside for a while, I started feeling it a little more and I was like, okay, all right, and I just started bouncing your dround trying to get warm again. But I know what I came to do. I knew we all came to do.
So one thing we were trying. I was literally in my mind, and this is how you have to think. I was like, I'm in Miami right now, laid out on the beach. The sun is beaming on me right now, and it's hot, and that's the minds that I had to have, because yes, it was code, and I can understand why the fans were like dealing with all that coldness. But regardless, they came and they showed up and they were, you know, the best that they
could be, and I appreciate that because it was freezing cold. So once we got in that ring, I got even once we came down off the top where we were, the mindset just switched and the weather was the last thing in our mind. Honestly, at the end, everybody was probably like fifteen minutes or twenty minutes after we all were like, oh, it's getting
cold now. That's how focus we were to put on a match. Yeah, I can imagine like a tag team match, maybe a little bit more noticeable because you're not in the ring the whole time, right, you're kind of yeah, outside, I was getting kind of cold out there. For a second. I'm like, no, I gotta stay warm. And that's what we were talking about, was like, geez, I'm going to be so cold on the side for a second. But it was pretty warm in there. It was very warm, and the last thing you thought about was
how cold it was. If anything, the fans were probably dealing with so much of that. So the fact that we were out there for us and they were there all night, there's a difference in the elements there. Sure, yeah, no doubt, no doubt. Well, Jane, this has been awesome. One to thank you again for taking the time here. Just one more question. We'd like to ask all of our wrestlers that are about
to come to a show near us for our listeners. You know, maybe there's somebody that's listening right now it's like I'd love to go to that show, but maybe kind of on the fence about buying tickets. What's kind of your sales pitch to get people out to smack Down Friday in Cincinnati? Me Come watch me Friday night on SmackDown April twenty six at the Heritage Bank Arena.
There's a limited amount of tickets, but hey, you can come still see Jade Cargo do her thing and kill it and come see where I'm gonna be drafted, because obviously I should be on night one for figuring out where they want me to be. But I'm the sales pitch. That's what I'm here for. Come and watch me kicking butt, taking names alongside the Great Biaka Bela and the Great Naomi. The big three love to see it, and you can see those three women your favorite SmackDown superstars. I'm sure you
know Cody Rhads. Everybody been talking about him lately. Sure he's going to be there making appearance, So be sure to get your tickets. You can hit up ticketmaster dot com or wherever you can find your tickets for Friday night SmackDown in Cincinnati kind of my hometown area. I don't know if you're driving there a little bit. My spouse played baseball. Yeah, that that dude be. We know Brandon Phillips, I know a lot. I know a
lot about Cincinnati. Actually, have you ever seen the Florence y'all water Tower and Florence? All right, That's that's where I'm from, right there, n Nice. I did have one question about that because I've always I mean, we're talking about an all star Cincinnati Red right there, Brandon Phillips, and what a and an awesome guy that he is. And you guys are just two ferocious athletes, Like what's that dynamic living? Like? I can
only imagine. I asked this question to Montes for when we're talking about Bianca, like what like is there is there competition on the daily? Do you get jealous of things that he can do? Does he get jealous of things that you can do? Or we're a very competitive family. Our daughter has that right now where she gets upset and she'll just drop everything if she's losing. It's kind of crazy trying to figure that out right now. But he's
more competitive than I am. I'm competitive, but I know when i'm out, I'm out matched, and I'm like okay. He's the type of person where he's like consistent, like no no, no, no no, and he'll keep trying and trying and trying. And I love that about him. But you know, when he played baseball, I was in the background. I was doing what I had to do in the background because this is his
room. Now that it's wrestling, this is my room. He's in the background just supporting me at home and making sure that everything is good so I can go out there and perform the best way I can. One thing he knows how to do is entertained. So me watching him entertain and be himself and be crazy. And if you guys are from Cincinnati, then you know what kind of person is And watch him, be himself and take it all in. You know. It was a great example for me in this career.
Love to see it. Well, hey J do you take care? And what we'll see the next Friday? And since he for SmackDown, all right, let's go Draft Night one.
