Cody Rhodes was one of the big reasons why Jade Cargill signed with WWE.
The American Nightmare was one of the talents that helped All Elite Wrestling get off the ground. Having grown up in the business, Cody had extensive knowledge of the inner workings of the industry. As an EVP, Rhodes not only helped in building the basic structure of the company but he was also instrumental in the signing of a number of their current top stars.
This list includes names such as Ricky Starks, Darby Allin and Cargill as well. Cargill’s very first match in AEW was against the WWE star too. She teamed up with Shaq to defeat Rhodes and Red Velvet in a mixed tag match for her debut.

Cody Rhodes was a reason for Jade Cargill to join WWE
Jade Cargill had an interview with The Ringer’s Masked Man Show (H/t Fightful) after WWE signing. When asked if her relationship with Cody Rhodes was a factor in her decision, the former champion said that it was one of the top reasons:
“He was top three, and not third. He is a phenomenal man. I’ve seen what the business did for him, I’ve seen him be the stellar athlete that he is. I didn’t see any different for myself. He was one of the guys that led me to a great decision,”
Jade Cargill also revealed that she has already been assigned to a brand in WWE but didn’t reveal any further details on her future plans.
