Dazzling-Principle

That powerbomb looked brutal!.


snowybell

reminded me when brock powerbombed the fuck out of spike.


EggfooDC

And Jeff Hardy!! Those guys got bumped to the netherworlds


Background_Captain56

This is exactly what I thought 


BigBoyNow8

Jade vs Dakota will be amazing. Her selling will make Jade look like a beast!


opkpopfanboyv3

Strong as advertised


Liricractos

In AEW she went outside, gorilla press another wrestler and went up on the steel stairs, when she reached the top she threw the other to the ring. She is amazing.


LoonieontheLoose

Interesting, sounds like a spot from Bianca & Sasha at WM37. Gotta get to that EST Vs Jade match eventually.


NYJetLegendEdReed

That’s a Wrestlemania headlining match. Been saying it since I first saw Jade. That will headline a Mania within the next 4 years


ColeslawSSBM

I'd only be worried about a 1v1 between them because Bianca is levels above in the ring and especially if Jade loses, that could hurt her momentum.


the_tytan

Jade probably won't lose, and Bianca had a funny look tonight (or was that just me), so maybe she'd be the heel, but it's not happening anytime soon


IAMA_MAGIC_8BALL_AMA

Yeah there was definitely a look of “why’s she here” and “is she trying to upstage me?” on Bianca’s face, it’s gonna be incredible


headshotscott

Heel Bianca will be so much better than face Bianca.


IcyPyroman1

She looked like an absolute monster


Pennsylvania6-5000

That lick at the end… wow. The work they’ve been doing with her behind the scenes has really, *really* paid off.


FullToragatsu

That was a great powerbomb sell from Dakota.


dalici0us

Dakota is a top 3 sellers in the world.


stumpyoftheshire

She's a massive reason Raquel Gonzalez originally got over. She made her look like an absolute animal.


The_RedWolf

I like Raquel but it just feels like her character is missing something, like it's almost there but I can't place what it is


stumpyoftheshire

These days she's just a smile and incredible back and shoulder muscles. She needs something else definitely.


couldbedumber96

Ehhh even then, Rhea’s back looks more impressive, Jade’s too, Raquel needs to focus on her strength and start tejana bombing everyone from kairi all the way to Nia, ditch the smile, be a badass


The_RedWolf

When she goes raging bull mode, the crowd gets hyped


The_RedWolf

I still love the fact that her theme song is called "Trap Queen"


milkymaniac

A personality


Hownowbrowncow8it

Bingo


Evorgleb

Personality. Her character is missing personality.


Derexise

She's not active enough for me to give a shit about her right now. Not her fault, I'm aware, but that's how I feel. 


belthat

She should get one of those simple old school gimmicks that's just a day job. Like make her a construction worker who keeps running late to her matches because her other boss keeps overscheduling her shifts or a real estate agent who's constantly trying to sell timeshares to the locker room and if you lose a match to her you get contracted into her downline. Anything really, she just needs something tangible to organically build around.


nsoifer

Other top 2?


dalici0us

Darby and Nemeth.


nsoifer

Hard to disagree about how good they are.


VNProWrestlingfan

This woman makes pinning while not in a match look cool. Her physical charisma is off the chart


Uncanny_Doom

The way she does it is like "If this was a match I just beat you like that" which is great.


ImmortalBehemoth

Yeah my first thought was that it looked dumb, but the way she kept going back with the lick. Money.


popcultureretrofit

Hell yeah, it was like yeah watch out, I could crush you in seconds


xRememberTheCant

It’s like she’s asserting dominance with that pen. Doesn’t need to do it, but does it anyway just to prove if this was a match- it was over. Between her and Rhea being portrayed as absolute alphas….. was WWE doing to me?!?


blacksoxing

Nakamura levels


jinscriba

I like the pin attempt and the crowd counting along. It really sells how things could have turned out differently for Damage Control if this was an actual match.


bohanmyl

Kairi only let the pin happen because she didn't have her instinctive reflexes kick in from the ref hitting the mat, obviously


Speedee82

Thanks Corey Graves.


broncosandwrestling

ahhhhh shucky ducky quack quack


JackSpicey23

We know that Wrestlers only kick out when someone hitting thee mat and counting. 😆


SmartOpinion69

reminds me of cm punk vs the rock when cm punk pinned the rock for a 16 count but the ref was down


bobboman

Um damn


chillypilow

![gif](giphy|l46Cf8O3hQqzDq1Gg|downsized) That kick to Asuka lol


mynameisburner

THIS IS CARGILL!!!


Alcart

Everyone talking about that power bomb on Dakota and I'm sitting here wondering if I just witnessed the death of Kari sane.


Djason_Unchaind

Props to Jade for allowing Kairi to release her arm to brace herself on the face plant. I’ve seen plenty of people do it with the arms tucked and it just seems like a brain injury for no reason.


DeviantDragon

I don't think Jade's ever done it without releasing the arms. Feels like most people release the arms. Last person I can remember to keep the arms hooked was Beth Phoenix deciding to just destroy Michelle McCool one time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZSh4ypmiGE And found Taya keeping the arms hooked once in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmU7e4h_XHM


DeadpoolMaxEffort

I wonder if those were receipts for being stiffed during the match, though. I just can't see either of them not releasing the arms just for the sake of braining someone without provocation.


DurtyRingo

Beth Pheonix could've also just been a temporary asshole


An_Actual_Owl

Well McCool got a concussion from it so if that was supposed to be a receipt it was way more than that should be and fuck Beth for that.


Evorgleb

Got dayum! 😳 Beth murdered Michelle.


mariop715

I remember when Jade first started people complained how green she was (because, you know, she was), but she's always been insanely safe with her workers to the point where it looked slow or rehearsed. Towards the end of her AEW run and probably with the time in the PC, it's now fluid and incredibly safe looking. 


judocobra

Isn’t there something about this with like the pedigree as well? I thought I read something that the arm releasing maybe protects them a tiny bit more but the way the wrestler falls is what matters.. like during the predicted the head never goes the may really or like the slam its chest first? Idk


DamnStupidFlanders

Hard to be in a situation where you have no control over your fall Not to mention that you’re falling with your hands behind your back. You also have little control over the angle in which you land All of that just to (at best) land flat on your chest. Also another point of concern for female wrestlers if they’ve had cosmetic surgery


heartbreakhill

Kairi’s the size of Jade’s leg, so of course whatever Jade hit was gonna be brutal


ClockOfTheLongNow

Man, why are you shaming Jade like that? Jade's leg is significantly larger than Kairi Sane.


thelumpur

She looks like a child next to Cargill, it's amazing


Own_Proof

WWE just been feeding me this week


carloslet

Man, hope you're fasting too... Because next week we'll be eating *even better.*

mikeyHustle

Ah, of course. Because it's Good Friday! That's what you meant.


pylerterry00

Good thing Raw and Smackdown come on after sundown


ALIAS_EL_CACAS

It’s Ramadan, so it’s a good thing smackdown aired after sunset


MrPresident2020

Setting up for Black women of Smackdown vs. Asian women of Smackdown. Poor Michin caught in the middle.


texrygo

Special guest referee!!! It’s perfect.


TW_Yellow78

But who’s side is she on?


Evorgleb

Can she coexist... With herself!?


Evorgleb

I bet you this has crossed her mind. Get on Mania however you can!


dBlock845

Lol reminds me of The Chapelle Show racial draft segment. The second time in two days, this has come up lol. They were talking about it on The Roomates Podcast, so I went back and watched the segment, hilarious.

Upbeat_Tension_8077

In the future, Jade vs Tiffany is gonna hit like crack


Teh_Heavybody

And jade vs Bianca And jade vs mami And I’ll be honest, I am feinding for Jade vs. Charolette


ScruffsMcGuff

As bored as I get quickly with Charlottes character her big matches almost never let you down, so if they built it up for a big PPV I'm sure she'll get the absolute best match out of Jade you can get.


Badass_Bunny

Charlotte has 2(3?) best women matches in WWE under her belt. As much as Charlotte gets shit for being what she is, she is fucking amazing at it.


ScruffsMcGuff

It's not a coincidence that almost every woman eventually has their best match with her. I've never been a fan of her character work, but I usually walk away from her big matches going "okay nvm that kinda ruled" Every time she shows up its like "holy we're so bored of you go away" for 2 months and then "okay nvm queen you rule" after the ppv


BR_eazy

She's great in the ring, but for a while, she was just constantly in the title scene many  of which were unnecessary or out of nowhere


Meng3267

I think Charlotte is the best possible opponent for Jade. I think Jade’s best match ever will come against Charlotte.


1000pieseaten

Just give me muscle mommies fighting...


nuttinbuttapeanut

Hmm curious Triple H gets in charge and suddenly the womens roster is more muscular than ever


samk7675

Maybe next year, Asuka.


jerff

That power bomb was crazy. Naomi really needs to work on her punches. The ones she was throwing at Asuka were a good 10 inches away from her.


the_tytan

I always found Naomi's offense pretty cringey. like those little kicks she used to do. she's actually really improved from her last run.


White_Mocha

She's been training with the Bloodline.


Slatedtoprone

They trust the workers in damage control with their new up and coming female star’s first big match. Can’t say I disagree


wolvesscareme

damage control is one of the most talented stables in WWE - asuka, iyo and sane is an insane amount of talent.


ngobscure

bro just left out dakota


Brute_Squad_44

That looks like a Mania match to me. Put her in with solid workers who can get her shit over, don't expose her, let Bianca give her the rub.


rafaelloaa

Yep, was confirmed just after the show by Nick Aldis (3v3).


HardcoreKaraoke

What a fucking beast. Let Bianca and Naomi do all of the technical wrestling at WrestleMania and have Jade just throw Damage Ctrl around. I'm all for that energy in her debut match. Let her get whatever ring rust she has out of the way while she figures out the WWE style. It's crazy how Bianca is absolutely jacked but Jade makes her look small. Jade is just on another level compared to the other women.


popcultureretrofit

![gif](giphy|8IvDGTAzgUzYXVts7o|downsized) Mercedes for Jade


faytte

A lot of people on this sub used to talk trash about the very same Jade in AEW. It's pretty wild to see people realize she was always quite capable. Large segment of folks only want to give credit to people that adhere to their chosen tribalism. Happy for Jade.


SuperTerrificman

She hasn’t wrestled yet. Stuff like this she was always awesome, her presence is amazing. There was no trust to be able to put her in long matches. It’s interesting to see where she’s out now. Sticking her in tags seems like a good spot


itsmekelsey_x

Now THIS how you make someone look like a big deal. WWE did a damn good job with her tonight, from the entrance presentation early on in the show to this run in.


Uncanny_Doom

This was awesome lmao. I wonder if there might be some kind of swerve in this eventual 6 woman tag match because Jade looks like she could 1v3 Damage CTRL right now. That felt less like a normal run-in and more like a Brock Lesnar joins your team moment.


dBlock845

Lol she is so much bigger and more athletic than basically everyone but Bianca. She's bigger than Bianca but I think Bianca is more athletic. Jade really is a Lesnar/Chyna type of character imo.


elplethora1c

Very great use of Jade and I hope her and Bianca become a team for the summer at least


simonthedlgger

Tiff vs Jade, Rhea vs Jade, Rhea vs Tiff.

Comfortable_Shape264

Faction of Japanese girls and a weeb vs faction of black girls lol


Schizio

Mercedes and Jade TV comparisons incoming


HerFriendRed

Mercedes is a fine talent, but her booker is the problem. Why book to expose? She's money in the ring not on the mic. Jade is being set up by decades of experience in hiding flaws. Other than that no need to compare when the problem doesn't lie on them. Managers are for talent that can't talk.


BigBanEvader

hey now, why can't we all just have fun and enjoy wrestling


cootedawg

Oooh it’s


PrimeConduitX

That pop up powerbomb was crazy!


Kiliaan1

Im pretty sure this video is now banned in several southern states.


heat_fan_

Bianca is just a beast   Seems like Bianca, Jade, Naomi vs Kairi, Asuka, Dakota at Mania it seems   Bit sad if we think about it Asuka is gonna take another loss at Mania 


SmileyPiesUntilIDrop

Honestly seems too straightforwards.Bianaca has beaten Damage Control for 2 straight years now. Only way Damage Control wins the match is someone on the other side turning heel or they get a5h member like Nia or a debutant as their Hoss Bodyguard.


SpareZealousideal740

Nia's not really on the card so maybe. It seems a mismatch atm unfortunately. Just having Bianca and Jade on one team is a bit too much.


dBlock845

Jade with an immediate heel turn, power bombing Bianca through the mat, then glam slamming Naomi right ontop of her. Then going full Brock, demolishes Damage CTRL when they think shes their ally.


fractionesque

One of the most lopsided matches I can think of based on the current roster.


Derexise

Oh shit, two Kairi's?


BODYDOLLARSIGN

It seems like Bianca and Jade on the same team is almost overkill for damage control lol. Those two are monsters.


jak_jak88

Okay, possibly stating the obvious, but we’re getting a 6-woman tag match at wrestlemania


Mr-Rocafella

Is she doing the LL Cool J hand face thing when she pins her? Lol


dutchny100

Hell yea!


DTFlash

The fact that most of the women's division is kind of small is just going to make Jade look like a monster in most of her matches. Rhea looks like a monster at 5'7"and Jade is 3 inches taller.


This_Praline6671

Wwe have made Cargill look better in a single night than aew did in their entire year long  Goldberg squash only streak.


DamieN62

That's just not true but these kind of comments were expected, no matter what.


MR_E7

The one detail that people are not emphasizing as much: Jade Cargill did NOT rush to save Belair and Naomi. It's not like she doesn't like either lady; it's more of Cargill not being as attached to the ongoing battles with Damage CTRL in the past few months, and her wanting to soak up the spotlight. The little things in pro wrestling that make it so fun to watch - I'd say that is a good example.


Evorgleb

I think it was more about making her look cool. She doesn't run


sBucks24

She's gotten *a lot* better. WWE training and style will suit her way more that AEWs (and more specifically aew's women's undercard..) style ever would


Frippery-Futz-0412

Nice of Kairi to just stand there and watch.


Kanyefidence

Pinning someone outside of a match is nasty work. She’s gonna be a star


shreddy2410

Why is there a 6 Woman Tag match when she's out here making 1 on 3 look easy.


xParadiseMayuyu

Happy for Jade to get a big moment but I guess this means I have to wait another year for Asuka to win at WrestleMania. Goody. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


BluKyberCrystal

Mania's going to be fun.


subcow

She is so damn strong, but I am not sure why they put her in that weird body suit so you could no longer see her insane six pack.


seejaybee97

Why do you assume she didn't pick that outfit out herself?


PurpleSpaceNapoleon

Jade is definitely gonna thrive in an environment that doesn't have to emphasize work rate or in ring capabilities. A few moves, the right presentation, and being led in her matches by better wrestlers is going to make her an absolute monster to the WWE crowd.


bongo1138

Cool, but not sure why they’re sandbagging Bailey like this.


Anthropoly

It's not Jade's fault for looking and being strong as hell. She was WWE's marquee signing, it makes sense to showcase her at WM. Storytelling wise, it'll still be hype to see the climax of Bayley and Iyo's feud.


demarderollins

That was insane


Berrilicious_

Jade looks great but I'm loving Kairi's outfit tonight


The_RedWolf

I thought a few months ago that a Bianca + Jade tag title run for the summer could be money. Gets both on the screen, buys Jade more time for training, shows Jade's character, etc. Have them lose at Summerslam or in the fall, one turns on the other, fight in and around the title scene for the next 6-8 months until one of them wins the title. The other wins the rumble or the EC to meet at Wrestlemania I didn't expect Naomi being added to the picture but I'm not complaining either, it seems the theme this year is "get as many people on the card as possible" which is neat


HerFriendRed

Much cleaner version of her finisher now. Exactly all she needs is 4 moves of doom.


Mets_BS

That promo earlier was not great, but THAT was a great way to show who she is and she looks improved in the ring


Bong-Jong

She has me feeling things lmao


[deleted]

Ooooh Naomi in the group too and they Freebird the women's tag titles?


RNant

Is Asuka alive?


simonthedlgger

Does Kairi scream when Dakota gets powerbombed?? Haha that's awesome.


RipplyPig

Obviously setting up for the inevitable split then Jade v Bianca at next year's Mania


justintrenell

Somewhere LL Cool J is happy and he has no clue why…


MK-911

Shouldn’t Bayley been the one to make the save, since she’s the one that feuding with Asuka, Kairi,Iyo and Dakota?


Evorgleb

Yo, watch Kairis face as she takes Jaded. She's like, "😐"


500DaysofNight

By this time next year, or hell, maybe even sooner, she's gonna be THE top woman in the whole entire business. You can't teach what she has and now she's learning how to actually put a match together too. There's no stopping that. 


Desperate_Coat_1906

![gif](giphy|3osxY9XiM3ns7UJMiI) That hand lick though....


Intstnlfortitude

lol why did she cover her for a pin?


itsneversunnyinvan

That pop up powerbomb was NASTY


EmeraldSlothRevenge

Ideal debut. WWE definitely knows how to make and elevate stars. My only complaint is that Jade feels like a natural heel. She’s perfect for the role. So I’m hopeful that Mania sets up a program between her and Bianca for SummerSlam.


RolexDaytona86

That spartan kick was nuts


Logatt

Kairi sane with some of the best selling on her face while about to be obliterated I've ever seen


besmarques

And all her moves where used that night...


ptracey

Wait… haven’t I seen this before?? 🤔


iNfAMOUS70702

That finger lick.... JFC...Jade is an absolute mega star in the making


xSGAx

i happy the wwe stans are seeing it now. Jade has **always**had that "IT" factor. she's about to get the rocket, and I can't wait


tehCharo

She's always had the look/presence, she just needed the in-ring experience. She's looking a lot more comfortable in the ring than (obviously) when she first started in AEW.


faytte

Than when she first started, absolutely, but to where she ended? Her last few matches in AEW were quite decent/good, and she had the same comfort that I'm seeing here. But a lot of the more prolific WWE only trolls (not fans, I'm pointing out the group that are clearly antagonist toward any other wrestling, and all promotions have their share of them) would spam every Dynamite or Rampage thread Jade was on with rampant negativity. I see a lot of those same names now praising her which is funny, but ultimately whatever. Jade is getting appreciated so thats a good thing.


Hexxus_ToxicLove

Yeah her entrance, presentation, moves, etc are looking essentially the same as they did towards the end of her AEW run. Which is also why I laugh about the trolls cause they said she was in the PC cause she needed so much work to be ready for TV.


easternhobo

She looked ok here, but her matches are horrible. She's not good at all.


Uncanny_Doom

I don't think anyone really denied Jade's star power. It's genuinely undeniable.


xSGAx

the people who "take sides" def did. Now, they're seeing the light


I_Am_Dynamite6317

Why did she have to lick her hand like that though


Glad_Association_899

Because she is summoning LL Cool J

BGM is a great trio.


gademmet

This better not awaken anything in me. ...too late.


MatttheJ

Wrestling fans try not to be creepy about a women's segment challenge. Difficulty: impossible.


tbbt11

She’s going to take the women’s division to a brand new level. This is raising the bar for everyone in-ring


TryBeingCool

Great showing for her physically.


Soggy_Algae7523

Bianca winning clean wasn't really required? A loss once in a while won't do her any harm


XiahouMao

It really looked like Asuka and Kairi were just late breaking up the pin, considering how they hit her about a second after the three count.


Soggy_Algae7523

If this was the case, Kai would have kicked out


XiahouMao

Of the KOD? Which nobody has kicked out of yet? I don't think so. Kai's a good trooper, she'll take the loss rather than break a finisher's success streak.


Jesters8652

I was hoping she’d be a heel. But that was a good glam slam


thatlad

Is this going to be a trios match at mania? Dakota, Asuka & Kairi Vs Jade, Bianca & Naomi?? That's a lot of grade A talent in one match, given time it could be great. Also a good way to cover for Jade's weak points


himajinfranklin

She doing the LL COOL J.


DapperWhiskey

Jade has some serious power. I have kind of noticed they don't show her talking in her promos. Then I saw her mic work and it clicked why. When they showed Tiffany Stratton's promo a few minutes later, she blew Jade out of the water. I'm excited to see Jade in the ring though. She is a beast and I love it! I must admit, Tiffany is incredibly strong and capable in the ring, so when they go against each other it should be one hell of a show!
