Jade Cargill talks about people being in her business during her time off: “It’s so weird. I don’t feel the need to go to social media to address every single thing that people say. People are going to make up whatever they want even if I go on there and say, ‘this is not real.’ When I did see reports, I literally, we laugh at all the stuff that is out there. We literally sit back and laugh like, ‘Who thinks of this?’ People are sitting back behind their computers and creating up all kinds of stories. We just sit back and laugh. I know if I address something, it’s going to grow three heads. Think what you want. As far as my vacation, my man is retired. I need y’all to understand, when I post pictures, it could literally be something from five months ago. How do you know? That’s what kills me. ‘Jade went on vacation.’ How do you know? I show you what I want you to see. People are like, ‘She’s not in the ring.’ You know I’m working out, though. I rarely post gym photos, but you know I’m working out. I’m in the ring all the time working with Ricky Saints. I’m in the gym working so damn hard, but I don’t feel the need to have validation from people who one, people don’t want to see me succeed in this industry. I could care less. You know who I care about? The people that love me and know exactly what I want out of this. I work damn hard. When it comes to all that stuff, it’s just chatter. Everybody is mature enough that we can come to one another and say, ‘Hey, what was this?’ I’ll let the internet do the internet. Good or bad, they are talking about me.”
Here’s a new Ricky Saints interview ahead of NXT Stand & Deliver.
Triple H speculates about a UK WrestleMania: “To answer the WrestleMania question, that’s like the Super Bowl. So the process of that going other places, people don’t understand the logistics of what that takes. Just going to Las Vegas, I can’t tell you the logistical effort that takes. They’ll be in the market for weeks setting up the set, people on the ground running stuff. So when that becomes international, the logistics become even harder. That’s the challenge, but we’re up for the challenge.”
