AEW Congratulates Jade Cargill On Reaching Major TBS Championship Milestone
On January 5, 2022, AEW crowned its first-ever TBS Champion. 500 days later, that same champion is still running strong. Earlier today, AEW sent out a congratulatory message to the long-reigning titleholder, Jade Cargill, as she celebrates the impressive milestone. "Congratulations to @Jade_Cargill who has spent 500 DAYS as the Undefeated TBS Champion #Jade500," AEW tweeted.
Cargill first captured the title after defeating Ruby Soho in the finals of the TBS Championship Tournament. Since then, Cargill has successfully defended it against many of the company's top performers, including Nyla Rose, Athena, Willow Nightingale, and Anna Jay. As Cargill continues blazing her trail, she also maintains the record for the longest title reign in AEW history. Looking toward the future, Cargill will put her TBS Championship on the line against Taya Valkyrie at AEW Double or Nothing on May 28. Valkyrie previously challenged Cargill for the title on the April 26 "AEW Dynamite," but after suffering a frustrating loss, Valkyrie attacked AEW referee Aubrey Edwards. This action led AEW to suspend Valkyrie, but last night on "AEW Rampage," Valkyrie confirmed that her suspension had been lifted.
Following back-to-back wins on Friday, Cargill's manager "Smart" Mark Sterling invited a third opponent to step up to his client. That opponent, of course, was "La Wera Loca," who announced that the two would face off at Double or Nothing. With her two victories on "Rampage," Cargill's undefeated streak has risen to 59-0. As she now pivots to Valkyrie, can Cargill keep her winning streak alive, or will Valkyrie be the one to deliver Cargill's first loss and become the new TBS Champion? Regardless of the match's outcome, Cargill has already cemented herself in AEW history.
