Jade Cargill: "I Am The Unicorn Of Wrestling"

Wrestlers love to proclaim themselves to be the “pioneer”, the “face”, the “G.O.A.T”, and many other strongly worded statements to push their importance and superiority to the rest of the competition in wrestling. Brand new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Jade Cargill has done the same, though it has come in a very unique form. During an interview with Tim & Eli on the Battleground podcast, Cargill called herself the “unicorn” of professional wrestling when speaking about her progression since AEW and the pandemic.

"It doesn't seem that far away. I think it's harder performing in front of your co-workers with the pandemic days. If anything, everybody knows everything, so it's more nerve-racking for me to perform in front of my co-workers than in front of fans. I love fans. I welcome fans. The European crowd was, wow, it was crazy. If anything went off the rails, they were like, 'Yay! Yeah!' It's crazy. With the Daily's Place days, I wouldn't think I would be here right now. I would think I would still be where I was, but I knew I was destined for great things. I know that I am the unicorn of wrestling right now. Would I think I would be in this position? No, but I knew I was destined for great things.”

It is certainly something that no one else in wrestling is claiming to be, though the meaning behind it isn’t entirely clear. Is she mythical? Does she have a horn on her head? Does she fart rainbows? Does she get killed by Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest? We're not sure. Either way, Cargill is your resident unicorn of the business.

In the interview, Cargill also touched upon how easy it is to team with Bianca Belair, her happiness at winning Tag Team Championship gold, and the fantastic French crowd at Backlash.
