Jade Cargill Reflects On Her WWE Tryout, Bodybuilding Career, Winning First Title

Submitted by Matt Boone on


Jade Cargill recently spoke with Muscle & Fitness magazine for an in-depth interview promoting this Sunday's AEW Revolution pay-per-view.

During the discussion, the TBS Women's Champion spoke about her career in bodybuilding, her WWE tryout back in 2019 and more.

Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview.

On how she got into bodybuilding: “I’ve been in sports all my life, so I’ve been attracted to bodybuilding forever. I watched [WWE female legend] Chyna when I was growing up, and I was muscular growing up. I would get picked on because of how built I was and seeing her embody her presence, it made me love myself and say: ‘You know what? I love my body and I want to get stronger.’”

On her WWE tryout in 2019: “[Henry] told me how serious it was. He told me about the time management that I would have to do, the dedication, being on the road all the time. When I went there, I saw that it wasn’t as easy as I thought it was [but] I love challenges, and this was something that I picked up and didn’t want to put back down.”

On keeping her head level after her first championship win: “Can it be nerve-wracking? It can be. Being compared to people that have been doing this for five and 10 years, but people are experiencing something raw right now, and I’m not only on a journey myself but everybody is on a journey with me and they are going to see me continuously grow … I’m excited to show people tools that they have never seen before.”
