You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On her NXT 2.0 match with Dakota Kai: “My least favorite match was actually my singles match versus Dakota Kai. [For a] couple different reasons. Dakota and I never really never worked before, I didn’t think we had the best chemistry probably because we never worked before and there was a couple mishaps in the match … I was just a little messy because her kick almost hit my shoulder … So after that moment I was kind of in my head cause I thought I injured my shoulder, thankfully I didn’t.”
On not feeling at her best after hurting her shoulder: “It was really cramped up in the match, so I had that, I had my shoulder, I felt all discombobulated. I didn’t feel my best and I think she didn’t really either at that moment. So that would be my least favorite match I would have to say cause close injury call, thankfully it wasn’t.”
During a recent appearance on “The Babyfaces Podcast,” WWE Superstar Jade Cargill commented on the 2024 WWE Draft, and whether she’s worried which roster she will end up on. She said,
“I wasn’t thinking I was going to be at SmackDown initially and it worked out that way and I love SmackDown. The locker room is phenomenal. I wouldn’t mind busting up at Raw and showing them what I’m about. Either or is fine with me. I love my Fridays though, I will say that. Then again, I love my Mondays. 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 because I feel I eventually am. Whoever wants me, come get me.”
