Jade Cargill reveals WWE rejected wild pitch for rivalry with Naomi

Jade Cargill revealed that WWE rejected a wild pitch during her intense rivalry with Naomi. The Glow was responsible for the heinous attack on Cargill on WWE SmackDown in November 2024.

Cargill defeated Naomi in a singles match at WrestleMania 41 and then got the better of her again at Evolution 2025. Speaking with Metro UK, the former AEW star revealed that WWE rejected a wild pitch for her rivalry with Naomi for safety reasons. Jade Cargill stated that they wanted to use mace during their rivalry, but that would have been an issue with the crowd in attendance.

"There was so much we wanted to use that was asked. We wanted to use mace, that was going to be tough. And then we wanted to use razors, and that was going to be tough, but I welcome it! I wish we were able to use the mace. [But] we gotta think about the crowd, we don’t want anybody in the crowd to be maced, because mace goes so far. That would’ve been wild! The whole first front row would have been lit with mace!" she said. [H/T: Metro UK]
