Former AEW TBS Women’s Champion Jade Cargill has signed for WWE, as reported by ESPN and confirmed by WWE, and will begin training at the WWE Performance Centre today.

Elsewhere in the interview, Cargill was asked what it means to her to join WWE:
It feels great. I feel like I was just in preparation for the grand stage. I felt like this was always the mission. I felt like, you know, the shoe fit. I felt like this was going to happen. Honestly, this is all expected. So, I’m excited to be here.
