"I refuse for anybody to treat me anything different" - 30-year old AEW star dissects learnings from CM Punk
AEW TBS Champion Jade Cargill recently revealed that Punk helped her improve as a performer while she was still learning the basics.
Since making her debut with the company in 2020, Cargill has been on a winning spree. The TBS Champion won her title early last year after defeating Ruby Soho. She is undefeated in her AEW career with a win-loss ratio of 48-0.
Jade Cargill recently revealed in an interview with The Bootleg Kev podcast that CM Punk helped her improve as a performer. She added that the former AEW World Champion helped her by teaching her techniques and maneuvers, such as a chair spot, before debuting them on programming.
"No one gave me instructions other than [Punk] to show me how to use a chair and I had to perform this on live TV," said Cargill [H/T- WrestlingINC]
Furthermore, she stated that Punk taught her to be more confident and assertive, especially as a newcomer in the wrestling industry.
"I've lived real life and just because I didn't want to do this all of my life, or because I didn't put in the time, I refuse to let anybody look at me less than... I refuse for anybody to treat me anything different because outside of these lines I'm a human freaking being and you're not going to treat me like anything else."
Cargill concluded by saying that Punk is a "great guy" who treated the AEW women's locker room nicely.
