Willow Nightingale Reflects On Working With ‘Intimidating Figure’ Jade Cargill
Willow Nightingale reflects on working with Jade Cargill.
Willow Nightingale looks back on working with Jade Cargill.
In the Summer of 2022 during Jade Cargill’s lengthy reign as AEW TBS Champion, she would be challenged by Willow Nightingale at AEW Rampage Road Rager. However, Willow would come up short against the dominant champion, but would later become TBS Champion when she defeated Julia Hart earlier this year.
While speaking to Stephanie Chase over All In week, Willow was asked about her work with Jade Cargill and how she feels about it.
“Jade is certainly an intimidating figure. She was our first TBS champion. When I look at the lineage of that title, I really just think about strong women who have kind of found themselves through it, like that was her first big thing that she did in professional wrestling and then Kris beat her, you know have my feelings about Kris but she was a great TBS champion,she was going out there putting on matches week in week out proving how great she was. I think she was a great flag bearer for the women’s division.Julia Hart you look at right after that somebody who was really coming into her own who is newer to wrestling, I think only maybe two, three years in. She’s like 29. A champion of this great division, like of all the amazing, talented women we have in the locker room. She’s at the helm of it. And then we had Willow Nightingale and now Mercedes. So I think it has a very strong lineage and for her to be the first and for me to be up against her so much was a great place to be when I was just trying to get visible in AEW.”
Jade is now in WWE, and once again a champion as she is the WWE women’s tag team champion alongside Bianca Belair. You can read more about that here.
Willow on the other hand has unfortunately lost her CMLL Women’s World Championship. You can read more about that here.
