WWE star says flat storyline criticism pushed both women harder
Summary
– Jade Cargill said criticism of her Rhea Ripley storyline pushed both women to prove fans wrong
– Cargill admitted some fans felt the feud’s build was flat before their major matches
– She said the goal was to deliver physical matches that fans could not ignore
Jade Cargill heard the criticism surrounding her storyline with Rhea Ripley, and she did not ignore it.
During an interview with ROMPIPALLONE, Cargill admitted that some fans felt the build between her and Ripley was flat. Instead of letting that reaction define the feud, she said both women used it as motivation.
Cargill said she and Ripley wanted to deliver a strong match once the bell rang. Their approach was simple. If fans felt the story was missing energy, they would make up for it with intensity in the ring.
That mindset helped shape their WrestleMania 42 match and their rematch at Clash in Italy. Ripley defeated Cargill at WrestleMania to win the WWE Women’s Championship, then retained the title in Italy after another physical battle.
Cargill said both women knew they could offer something different. She described them as two powerful performers who wanted to bring a big-fight style to the ring.
The matches gave the feud a harder edge after early complaints about the storyline. Cargill made it clear that she and Ripley wanted fans to remember the fight, even if the build did not win everyone over.
For Cargill, the response was not about arguing online. It was about stepping into the ring with Ripley and proving that their chemistry could still create a memorable showdown.
