Current WWE champion has major praise for Jade Cargill

The WWE Universe is buzzing ahead of Jade Cargill's official WrestleMania debut in less than one week. A top superstar has just offered major praise for Cargill, and a potential teaser for the future.

Cargill signed with WWE to mainstream media attention and much fanfare shortly after departing AEW last year. She made her in-ring debut at the Royal Rumble but came up short, and then officially signed with the blue brand as a SmackDown Superstar. The inaugural AEW TBS Champion will team with Naomi and Bianca Belair to face Asuka, Kairi Sane, and Asuka at WrestleMania 40. Cargill now seems to have garnered the attention of Rhea Ripley.

Rhea Ripley recently appeared on The MMA Hour today for an interview with Ariel Helwani, before it was crashed by Becky Lynch. She was asked if she was impressed with Big Jade.

"Yeah, I am [impressed]. Jade Cargill... she's amazing, I'll give her her props. She's aesthetically pleasing, she looks amazing, she is amazing. Everything about her screams superstar. So, when that time comes, I'd love to step in the ring with her, but that's a money match... we'd have to wait for the perfect moment and the perfect stage, whether that's WrestleMania next year or WrestleMania in the next few years, we'll have to wait for that. But... I'm impressed, I am. It takes a lot to impress Mami," Rhea Ripley said. [From 12:01 to 12:52]

Ripley is set to defend her WWE Women's World Championship against Lynch at WrestleMania 40.
