Jade Cargill reveals troubling messages she receives on social media
AEW's Jade Cargill has revealed that despite all her success in wrestling so far, she still receives racist remarks on social media.
Racism is an unfortunate and often disturbing reality for people of color in every sport. For Cargill in particular, it adds to the weight she already carries as she continues to endure criticism for her inexperience in the ring.
Nevertheless, the TBS Champion maintains the confidence that's so clear every time she's in front of the camera. She took to Twitter today, where she is always active, to tell the world about the type of messages she gets in the most dismissive, Cargill-esque way possible:
I get the most racist remarks. You guys should see my messages. 🤣🤣🤣
Despite the criticism she endures, Jade has been on fire so far in 2022 with five successful defenses of her TBS Championship. The most recent win came on the February 23rd edition of AEW Dynamite when she defeated AHFO's The Bunny.
The win pushed Cargill's AEW singles record to a staggering 28-0. But the reigning TBS Champion hopes to extend her streak even further, stating after the match that she wants to get her record to 50-0.
Tay Conti seems to be next in line as the Brazillian star challenged Cargill for the TBS title. While not confirmed at the time of writing, the location for Cargill vs. Conti will likely be the Revolution pay-per-view on March 6th.
