Jade Cargill has arrived on SmackDown WWE and fans are very impressed.
The former AEW TBS Champion switched over in September and made a strong appearance in the Royal Rumble earlier this year, but it wasn't until last night that she signed with a brand. During this week's episode, she signed a SmackDown contract, officially joining the team and preparing for WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia. Midway through the show, Jade appeared in a striking red latex outfit and towering heels as she met
general manager Nick Aldis
in the ring to sign her contract. 'Hey, Nick, it's about time,' she said to cheers from the crowd. 'And now that we've signed… let me be clear. We have one of the best female rosters in the world, but they're not Jade Cargill. They're not The Headline. They are not a once in a lifetime superstar. And let me give you another weather update. The storm has arrived.'

At the end of the night, she appeared in a mesh bodysuit to rescue
and Naomi from an attack by Damage CTRL's Dakota Kai, Asuka, and Kairi Sane, setting up a major six-woman tag match for WrestleMania. As she made her soon-to-be iconic entrance earlier in the night, Preston-born commentator Wade Barrett had a hard time staying composed. 'I have no idea what you just said, I can't stop looking at Jade Cargill – respectfully,' he told fellow announcer Corey Graves, who called her 'a work of art and a threat to the entire SmackDown women's division'.
'That is the best human being I have ever seen,' a shocked Wade added, while Corey joked: 'Can you pick your jaw up off the desk? We have a show to call!'

'My jaw dropped. Jade Cargill looks better than ever. Her physique is out of this world. #Smackdown,' wrote wrestling content creator Denise Salcedo.
Fan @RedSkyRainfall said: 'Man, Jade Cargill looks incredibly good. Not only is she beautiful, but she's like a comic book hero come to life. Can't wait to see what she does in the future.'
'In a few years, she'll be the face of WWE,' predicted @YoungEmmanuelJ, while others are already suggesting dream matches for SmackDown's newest star.

and friend turned rival Santos Escobar. Elsewhere, The Final Testament (Karrion Kross and Authors of Pain) caused The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) to lose their match against Austin Theory and Grayson Waller, which means the latter team will be part of the Six-Pack Ladder Match at WrestleMania for Judgment Day’s tag team titles. The New Catch Republic (Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne) also qualified, and it seems The Pride (Street Profits and Bobby Lashley) will be seeking revenge against The Final Testament at the Showcase of the Immortals.
WWE SmackDown is broadcast on Friday nights at 1am on TNT Sports 1.
WrestleMania XL will take place at Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia on April
