WWE Legend Konnan Questions Jade Cargill's Readiness for Title Reign
As WWE's newest women's champion, Jade Cargill is being touted as the top female star of the SmackDown brand. However, wrestling legend Konnan isn't convinced that she's ready for the job just yet.
In a recent podcast appearance, Konnan expressed his concerns about Cargill's in-ring ability and her readiness to lead people in matches. He compared her situation to Liv Morgan's first reign as SmackDown Women's Champion, where he was critical of WWE's decision to give the title to someone who wasn't yet ready.
While Cargill's popularity has been on the rise with her recent heel turn and championship win at Saturday Night's Main Event, Konnan believes that a performer's in-ring ability should be the deciding factor when crowning a champion. He doesn't think Cargill is just deserving of the title because she's popular, but rather because she can consistently deliver top-level matches and guide less experienced opponents.
Konnan's critique comes as WWE is moving forward with Cargill as the brand's new face. Her first championship defense is expected to take place at Survivor Series: WarGames on November 29th. However, it remains to be seen whether WWE will listen to Konnan's concerns or continue to push Cargill as the top female star.
For now, Cargill will have to prove herself in the ring and demonstrate her ability to lead people, a skill that Konnan believes she still needs to develop. Only time will tell if Cargill can silence her critics and establish herself as a true champion.

... Konnan's got a point, I guess. We're so quick to give someone the crown just 'cause they're popular, but what really matters is if they can back it up with some solid performances in the ring. It's like, we want our female wrestlers to be more than just faces, you know? They gotta be able to carry matches and inspire others... that's what being a champion's all about 
. And Cargill's still got some growing to do, especially when it comes to leading people in matches... but hey, at least she's getting the recognition now 
. Maybe this is an opportunity for her to prove herself and show us what she's truly capable of 
. Only time will tell if WWE listens to Konnan's concerns or just goes with their gut feeling 
.
You gotta earn that title by stepping up your in-ring game. Konnan's right, Liv Morgan got a similar spot, remember? But did WWE listen to the critics back then? Nope! Now they're trying to do it again with Cargill. What if she can't deliver? 
The pressure's on Cargill now to live up to that title and show us what she's really made of. Can she do it? Only time'll tell... but I'm not holding my breath! 
. I'd love to see her defend the title at Survivor Series: WarGames and show what she's got, but only time will tell if WWE's listening to Konnan's concerns
