The WWE SmackDown women's division has a big new addition.
On Friday night, it was revealed that Jade Cargill has joined the SmackDown roster. A video package aired on SmackDown with Cargill announcing the news. She'll make her first appearance as a SmackDown roster member next week (March 29).
Cargill said:
Let's make things clear, I didn't come here to be the next anyone. Jade Cargill is a once-in-a-lifetime generational talent. The type of presence that makes everyone sit up and stand up straight when I enter. I don't even have to speak - and yet I'm the trending topic. I am the headline. They're going to build statues of me - and you don't have to like it, but you damn sure can't deny it.
And that's why I'm taking my talents to SmackDown.
Cargill departed AEW after having her final match for the promotion in September 2023. It was confirmed later that month that Cargill had signed a multi-year contract with WWE.
Cargill made her WWE in-ring debut at the Royal Rumble this January but had been without a brand until now. Cargill made it to the final three of the women's Royal Rumble match before being eliminated.
Naomi, Tiffany Stratton, and Bron Breakker have also joined the SmackDown roster over the last several weeks.
Next Friday's SmackDown is the second-to-last episode of the show before WrestleMania.
