Jade Cargill has been open about her entertainment ambitions beyond professional wrestling — but she is equally clear about the order in which she intends to pursue them. Speaking with Funny Marco on Open Thoughts, the WWE Women’s Champion was direct about where her focus lies right now and what she wants to have built before she transitions into any other lane.
“I love what I’m doing right now. I really want to lay a foundation. I look at people who came before me like The Rock or John Cena, who just finished his whole final tour this past year. I really want to lay the foundation before I dip off into that lane. I can do both — if WWE lets me I can do both — but I really want to lay a thick foundation here that can’t be duplicated, so I can always come back and help the next generation like John Cena did or The Rock has done,” Cargill said.
Jade Cargill Says She Would Love an X-Men Storm Role and Describes Herself as “A Walking Superhero”
When Funny Marco jokingly suggested Cargill for the role of Storm in the X-Men universe, she embraced the idea with characteristic confidence while grounding it in practical terms. “I think that I would absolutely love it. I think my job prepares me for situations like this and those type of scenes. I mean, I am a walking superhero, so why not. You don’t need aesthetics — just let me go out there and be myself. Hand me the script, give me some time to rehearse and I got you.” Cargill defends the WWE Women’s Championship against Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 42 Night Two on April 19 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas — a match she has specifically identified as the kind of foundation-building moment she is talking about when she discusses establishing a legacy that cannot be duplicated.
