It’s unclear when we’ll next see Jade Cargill compete in a WWE ring, but the ex-AEW star recently brought it to Aubrey Plaza in a Mountain Dew commercial.
Cargill signed with WWE in September, shortly after her tenure with AEW came to an end. The former & inaugural AEW TBS Champion made her WWE TV debut on the Fastlane kick-off show and has since made appearances on WWE Raw, SmackDown, and WWE NXT.
At the Royal Rumble PLE, Jade made her in-ring debut for WWE. Cargill was the #28 entrant in the match and would score three eliminations. After throwing out Nia Jax, Becky Lynch, and Naomi, Cargill was eliminated by the returning Liv Morgan.
Jade Cargill’s Commercial
Of all of the women to be Jade’s first singles opponents as a WWE Superstar, actress Aubrey Plaza was unlikely to be anybody’s top pick. This week, Mountain Dew premiered a new commercial featuring Plaza to promote their Baha Blast drink. The actress, known for roles in Parks & Recreation and Scott Pilgrim speaks about having a blast no matter what, including when she’s in the ring. Jade, who is mentioned by name, then performs a dive from the top rope on Plaza.
