Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair teamed up this Saturday at WWE Backlash to challenge Asuka and Kairi Sane for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship. Cargill and Belair ended up winning the match, and as a result, she won her first title since joining the company.
With such an amazing start to her career, there is no doubt that soon she will be fighting to earn the top gold in the promotion. However, the path to glory lies with formidable obstacles in front of her. Superstars such as Becky Lynch, Rhea Ripley, and Charlotte Flair have their own aspirations to tend to which could foil the former AEW star’s dreams. In fact, a veteran of the sport believes that having Cargill face Flair can emulate the iconic moment of The Rock and Hulk Hogan facing off.

Jade Cargill had her first match in WWE at the Royal Rumble PLE. Despite putting on a strong showing on her in-ring debut the WWE star couldn’t emerge as the last woman standing. At WrestleMania 40, when she teamed with Bianca Belair and Naomi to defeat Dakota Kai, Asuka, and Kairi Sane. Now in just her ninth match in the promotion she can already boast her championship credentials. With such strong booking, the WWE clearly has laid out plans to make her a top draw for the future. Now imagine what if she faces a returning Charlotte Flair. The sky is the limit for that bout. And Bully Ray and Mark Henry believe the same. As on the Busted Open Podcast, they compared Flair vs. Cargill to Rock vs. Hogan. As Bully Ray said, “Charlotte and Tiffany is going to be really, really good. But Charlotte and Jade face-to-face is going to be a special.” Mark Henry added, “Rock. Hogan.” Ray agreed with Henry’s suggestion and said, “Correct. It’s going to be Rock Hogan.”

Well, the WWE Universe would agree to the spectacle the potential matchup could create with the aura of both stars. And just like Bully Ray and Herny, fans also anticipate a match between the two. But what would make it more interesting is surely some high stakes. So the WWE should try to make one of them a champion before they square off. And while Cargill isn’t the Women’s champion yet, she recently expressed her delight after winning the Tag team championship.

The moment of winning her first gold was emotional for Jade Cargill as reflected both in the ring when the bell rang and on social media.
