After just about 3 years, Jade Cargill said goodbye to AEW. The professional wrestler's ultimate fit with the promotion came about all the way through the Sept. 15 episode of Rampage, losing to Kris Statlander in a title rematch.

Following her departure, Jade reported to the WWE Performance Center, and on Sept. 26, WWE formally introduced that she signed a multi-year contract with the promotion. Although we are excited to see her in the WWE, we will't lend a hand but marvel: Why did Jade Cargill go away AEW?

Why did Jade Cargill depart AEW?

On Sept. 26, 2023, WWE officers confirmed the rumors and instructed ESPN's Marc Raimondi that they signed former AEW champion Jade Cargill. The superstar formally started coaching with WWE at its Performance Center that same day.

It's unclear if she's going to perform on the main roster or its developmental logo, NXT, but we know she'll make an quick impact anyplace she goes. Despite her first professional wrestling fit happening a little over two years ago, Jade has already confirmed to be a generational ability with the drive to be the most efficient.

Ahead of her WWE debut, Jade opened up about why she left AEW on the Masked Man Show podcast. She advised hosts David Shoemaker and Kazeem Famuyide, "I want to create a legacy. I want to be in the Hall of Fame. I want to wrestle with the best women in the world."

"I mean, there is no grander stage than this stage — the opportunities are endless with this company," Jade added. "It was a no-brainer. It was very welcoming. I didn't have any second thoughts about it at all. It was just an easy choice. It wasn't easy, but it was easy [laughs]."

Jade also showed that Cody Rhodes, who helped convey her to AEW, persuaded her to depart the brand for WWE.

"He is a phenomenal man," she said. "I've seen what the business did for him, I've seen him just be the stellar athlete that he is. I didn't see [it] any different for myself. But, yes, he was one of the guys that led me to a great decision."

Becky Lynch thinks it's "great" that Jade joined the WWE.

In September 2023, WWE famous person Becky Lynch spoke with The New York Post and commented on Jade's decision to join the corporate. She advised the outlet, "I watch all the products [referencing other promotions]. I think it's great."

"More women with more platforms," Becky added. "I think she has a lot of work to do when she gets here, but if she is willing to do that, just look at her. She's a star. It's more people for me to get in the ring with and kick their a----."

We don't know about you, however we can't wait to see Jade get in the ring with Becky in the future!
