Jade Cargill Wins WWE Women's Championship

Jade Cargill captured the WWE Women's Championship on November 1 at Saturday Night's Main Event, defeating Tiffany Stratton in a decisive match that marked her first world title in the promotion. The victory, achieved with her finisher on the champion, ended Stratton's reign and positioned Cargill as a leading figure in WWE's women's division.

Cargill, who signed a multiyear contract with WWE in September 2023 after departing All Elite Wrestling, has quickly risen to prominence. Her professional wrestling debut came on March 3, 2021, during an AEW Dynamite episode, where she teamed with Shaquille O'Neal to win against Red Velvet and Cody Rhodes. Former AEW wrestler Matt Hardy, who overlapped with Cargill at the promotion before leaving in April 2024, praised her development on his Extreme Life podcast. "I'm happy for Jade Cargill," Hardy said. "I saw her right when she was beginning her career; she was really green, she was learning and she had a great interest in it. She had an amazing look right from the jump, and she worked really hard at it." Now a TNA Tag Team Champion, Hardy highlighted Cargill's dedication as key to her championship success.
