Jade Cargill names her WWE dream opponent
Jade Cargill can’t wait until she gets to stand across the ring from Charlotte Flair one day.
More than two years after signing with WWE, Cargill is still waiting to face Flair for the first time. It’s a matchup that Cargill really wants to happen — and she’s sure they’ll deliver in the ring when they do meet.
“Charlotte Flair. I love Charlotte Flair,” Cargill responded when the Beyond The Bell Podcast asked who her dream opponent is. “I think she and I will have an amazing match. And one thing I know that Charlotte does is, she pulls whomever up that she works with or she tries her best to do that. And she wants to do nothing but represent and elevate the women’s division. And I want to do the same exact thing. So that’s one woman I want to work with for sure.
“I mean, it’s Charlotte Flair. I really want to work with Charlotte Flair. And she has this persona that’s beyond herself as well, so I would love to go toe-to-toe with Charlotte Flair. She’s the ‘Top Girl,’ I’m the ‘It Girl.’ Like, I would love that.”
Cargill is more than 80 days into her WWE Women’s Championship reign but has yet to have a televised title defense. She won the belt from Tiffany Stratton on WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event in November.
While Flair is on SmackDown like Cargill, her focus has been on competing in the women’s tag team division with partner Alexa Bliss.
The title picture heading into WrestleMania 42 will become clearer when Royal Rumble 2026 takes place at the end of this month. The women’s Rumble winner earns the right to challenge for either the WWE Women’s Championship or Women’s World Championship (currently held by Stephanie Vaquer) at WrestleMania.
