Jade Cargill is scheduled to make her highly anticipated WWE debut this weekend.
The inaugural AEW TBS Champion recently put pen to paper on a new multi-year deal with the titans of sports entertainment.
Multiple reports indicate that Cargill will begin the Monday Night Raw brand, although the date of its debut still remained a mystery until Tuesday, when PWInsider Elite spilled the beans.
She will make her first WWE appearance at the Fastlane pay-per-view event in Indianapolis on Saturday, according to the professional wrestling news channel.
The report further claims that she is also expected to attend the television tapings of Raw and SmackDown this week.
Jade Cargill is the inaugural AEW TBS Champion and wrestled for the brand from 2020 to 2023
Cargill turned down several lucrative offers from AEW to join WWE on a multi-year deal
AEW was engaged in negotiations with Cargill over an extension of her stay with the brand, but the 31-year-old decided to jump ship after her contract expired on September 15.
Company chairman Tony Khan claims he made several ‘very big’ offers to Cargill to stay on board, but this wasn’t enough to steer her away from the allure of WWE.
‘I knew Jade’s contract was ending and we were talking about a new contract. “I was very interested in Jade’s return and we were negotiating,” Khan said.
‘I made a very large offer and I thought it was a very fair offer. I think she was considering it, and then she asked for a bigger offer and then I went back up there, and I thought that would work out.
“Then that didn’t happen, which surprised me because honestly, I ended up with a number that was higher than her original question. I don’t know what I should have done at that moment. I was a little surprised.
‘I was really hoping Jade would come back. I think I tried to address it, when we got to the heart of the matter and we still couldn’t agree on anything in the last few weeks, then it was at the point where I said, “If you are” I’m not staying, I’m going to give you the best exit possible.’
‘I have only good things to say about Jade. I really enjoyed working with her. She was a great part of AEW, she is always welcome here, I tried to give her the best send-off I could.”
According to reports, Cargill will begin her career on the Monday Night Raw brand and make her debut at the WWE Fastlane pay-per-view on Saturday
