On the first night of Summerslam 2025, Tiffany Stratton defeated Jade Cargill and retained the WWE Women's Championship in a fight that was not very long. Cargill had earned the right to be challenging after becoming queen of the ring in Night of Champions last May.
► Jade Cargill would no longer be seen as the big star in WWE
During the recent one Wrestling Observer RadioMeltzer analyzed Cargill's defeat against Stratton in Summerslam, highlighting how the way the company has changed drastically superspective compared to it in just a few months, questioning the status of former AEW star in WWE.
“Even until, I would say, two or three months … I remember talking to someone very important of WWE about the most important figures of the future. One of the names that appeared was Jade. From the day Jade arrived, they did not hire her to be a 50% fighter. They did not hire her to be a medium -level fighter. It showed how they hired her: they hired her to be a superstar. And, you know, when they told me that the future of women in the company was Rhea Ripley and Jade Cargill. So he lost tonight. He lost with a Moonsault. Someone … is not the defeat or the end of the world for her or anything like that. But the person they talked about two months ago will not lose in whatever, seven minutes against a Moonsault against Tiffany Stratton. »
“It shows – and everyone will deny it,” but for how they scheduled … I don't think anyone speaks of her in the same way as Rhea Ripley today. And they did. When I saw that end … they don't see her as the final warrior, so to speak. And at first they did see it. ”
Although Jade Cargill was preceded by a star aura upon arrival at the WWE, the results have certainly been completely blunt, although it is obviously not the end of the world for her, and certainly His defeat in Summerslam can be a clear indicative that will still have to work hard to reach the top.
