Jade Cargill appreciates Cody Rhodes.
Jade Cargill had her first match in pro wrestling teaming with Shaquille O’Neal against Cody Rhodes and Red Velvet. Now, she is praising Cody Rhodes and his work behind the scenes in the wake of him leaving AEW.
Speaking with CBS Sports’ Shakiel Mahjouri, Jade Cargill detailed how Cody Rhodes regularly checked on her after the match as she continued to progress in the world of AEW.
“It was a blessing. After my Shaq match, I feel like a lot of people kind of went off their ways. He was one of the people that checked up on me and my mental and to make sure I was OK and to help me understand the business,” Cargill said. “Understand [that] the business found me. I didn’t find the business. I was just thrown into it and he understood that. There were other people, I’m not casting them out, but he was one of the people that texted me daily about my mental. In this sport, mental is very important. He’d check if I was getting what I needed. If I was getting the training that I needed, if I was able to speak and have the voice that I wanted.
Jade also considers Cody Rhodes to be a phenomenal person and says he stepped into the role of fatherhood and has done a phenomenal job there as well.
“Cody is one of the people that’s for the people. For the people that can’t speak up. I’m the type of person that doesn’t complain. I just roll with the punches. I just go with the flow. That’s me and I like taking on challenges. He’s a great person. He’s a great individual. He was very much in my corner. He’s a great guy. He’s a phenomenal father. He stepped into new shoes. He’s a phenomenal father. He’s a phenomenal person in general, and he was one of the people that went to bat for me, for a lot of things,” Jade said of Cody.
Recently, Tony Khan opened up about Cody leaving the promotion stating that he wanted to sign him on for more years than his optional contract years allowed. Read more here.
