If she ultimately decides not to come back I think that's perfectly understandable and wish her all the best, can't blame her for that at all, though does really feel like a damning indictment of the planning out of things if you had her undefeated for that long, had her finally lose on a complete fluke, and then just vanish off the face of the earth.
Don't think she's under any obligation to come back to put someone over or anything, ultimately doesn't really matter, but just feels like if there was a chance of this it should've been taken into account.

Sometimes when you're on the road you really don't notice the toll it takes on home. If she wants to spend more time with her family while having a small bump card. More power to her I say.

Always best to walk away on your own terms no matter what the profession. If it's true, all the best to her.

Feels like a waste that Cargill's TBS reign went it as long as it did with so many quick/squash matches on TV making up the majority of it, and never getting to work with top talent more often to help her get to that next level in the ring, but best of luck to Cargill on post-wrestling life.

She mentioned on Twitter that she needs to get physically healthy and is still heavily promoting AEW by retweeting from the main accounts. So if she doesn't come back, it doesn't seem to be due to anything nefarious.
Jade has a family and doesn't particularly need the money so if the travel and bumping doesn't work for her, she doesn't need wrestling.

Always a good thing to walk away healthy on your own terms, but at the very *very* least she should put over Taya on her way out considering both that those were her best matches and that Taya could really benefit from it.
I'd say have her put over Anna Jay since those matches were always good too (they're training partners for those who weren't aware) and there's still some juice to be squeezed out of a Britt Baker - Jade Cargill match as they've been built as the two biggest women's stars and haven't crossed paths - plus it'd give Britt something fresh to do.

If it ends up being personal issues and she chooses to step away from wrestling, I can't really blame anyone for that. Sort of like a Lesnar situation; sometimes people just realize that life's not for them. If she's not being smuggled into the Performance Center through a back door I can't really blame them for taking that shot and it not working, and the stuff you can blame them for (running the reign too long to wait for Kris to come back) was an issue regardless of if she returns or not.

I honestly think she was worth the push but if she leaves just show how much worse the decision of doing nothing with her reign is.
At very least TK should.push hard for.one final match to put someone over.

They sever ties eventually, I see wwe at least taking a stab at her.

I would be sorry to see her go but I'm always glad to see wrestlers putting themselves first.
She is amazingly good for someone with so little experience so I can only imagine how good she would be with more time and experience

It's just speculation so I wouldn't put too much weight on it. I think she'll be back.

Of course it's possible she's decided she's done with wrestling but with how vague Meltzer sounds there I'm going to guess she's just taking a break for a few months and will be back.
If DoN was her last match it would make even less sense to do the kinda MITB style tired champ v fresh challenger thing. Why not use the cache of 3 years worth of push to fully put the other person over rather than doing it with an asterisk next to it? In kayfabe it's still unknown if Stat can beat Jade at 100% due to the way she won with Jade being worn down from a tough match. Kinda like when Brock's 2 year world title run in 2018 ended due to a Braun distraction so Roman didn't even come across as the better man really so in the end no one got the proper rub from that long title reign ending.

If I heard it right in her promo on Dynamite Britt kinda took a slight dig at Jade so I'm betting the two paths are 1. Someone's getting worked and Jade returns immediately or 2. Jade's done for real and Britt will devote some of her Thunder Rosa time to Jade on All Access Season 2

It’s possible than maybe Jade just didn’t want to lose matches. People were pointing out in the Roddy Piper thread in the (W)rest section that sometimes people have to do what’s best for their brand and not lose matches.

Jade has a hell of a face run in her when she returns. The story pretty much writes itself: she got too prideful, she got got by Statlander, and in the time off she reflected on herself and has come back a changed woman.
I absolutely could see her being the heater for the faces against the Outcasts, especially if the Outcasts add someone like Nyla or Taya to their ranks.
Her in-ring work can still be shaky at times, but you don't get to be a better wrestler without wrestling, and she checks the boxes for pretty much everything else you'd want in a wrestler.

This sounds like vintage "Meltzer speculating on things out of thin air that gets reported by aggregators as real news."

She has one of the most incredible looks I've ever seen, even if I did get tired of her reign and the streak. But the most important thing is that she's healthy and happy, with or without wrestling.

She’d be a better fit for WWE. Charlotte and Bianca are two dream opponents for her to have.

You never say never but she was recruited by them before she joined AEW and had a negative experienced based on the way they talked about how she will have to be all in with the company when discussing her family. She also doesn't need wrestling for the money so she has a lot of options and it's more about what makes her happy.
