While it seems the opinion of CM Punk is very divided in the All Elite Wrestling locker room, it seems he has another ally in Jade Cargill.
AEW TBS Champion Jade Cargill recently sat down with Bootleg Kev to discuss a wide variety of subjects. When asked about one thing CM Punk taught her when they worked together at All Elite Wrestling, Cargill said it was to stand on what she believes in and not be a pushover.
“Just stand on what you believe, and don’t be a pushover,” Jade Cargill said. “And I admired that because coming into the business and being new, it’s like you have to almost shrink yourself a little bit. And I know who I am. Again, I lived several lives. I’ve lived a real life. And just because I didn’t want to do this all my life or because I didn’t put in the time. I refuse to let anybody look at me as less than, and I refuse for anybody to treat me anything different because outside of these lines, I’m a human freaking being, and you’re not going to treat me like anything else.”
Jade Cargill clarified that no one has treated her negatively in All Elite Wrestling, but she knows that some wrestlers get treated that way on the independent scene.
“So I’m not saying that anyone treated me any type of way,” Jade Cargill said. “I’m saying in wrestling. Especially on the indies, and I’m not familiar with the indies at all, but I’m not going to be walked over, and I refuse to because I’m Jade Cargill. And outside of these lines. I’m Jade Cargill, so I’m not going to let you address me anything less. So the fact that he told me to stand on what I believe and don’t be a pushover; that stuck with me. He’s a great guy.”
