During Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer broke down Cargill’s loss to Stratton in under seven minutes, calling attention to how the company’s booking of her has changed drastically in just a few months.

>“Even up to, you know, I would say, two months, three months ago… You know, I remember just having some messaging with someone very high up in WWE and talking about the top people in the future. One of the names that was on it was Jade. You know, from the day Jade came in, Jade was not brought in to be a 50/50 wrestler. Jade was not brought in to be a mid-card wrestler. You could see the way she was brought in — she was brought in to be a superstar. you know, and, you know, like when I was told the women’s future of the company, it was Rhea Ripley and Jade Cargill. So she lost tonight. She lost with a moonsault. You know, someone like that… it’s not the loss and it’s not the end of the world for her or anything like that. You know, but the person who I was told about two months ago is not losing in whatever it was, seven minutes to a moonsault to Tiffany Stratton.”

>“You can tell — you know, and everyone will deny this — you know, but by how they booked it… I don’t think anyone is talking about her in the same light as Rhea Ripley today. You know, And they were. When I saw that finish… You know, they don’t see her as The Ultimate Warrior anymore, put it that way. And they did at first.”
