WWE Hoops Report: Jade Cargill Shows Cody Rhodes Who the Captain Truly Is
Listen, we've all seen the footage. Former WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, The American Nightmare himself, steps up to the line like he's about to finish the story... but instead finishes an airball so awkward it needs its own therapy session.
Form? What form? Palming the rock like it's a cursed artifact, elbow flying like a malfunctioning Cross Rhodes setup. Fans roasted it relentlessly: "Shawn Marion jumper?
More like Shawn Marion's evil twin." "He shoots like the monsters stole his powers." Viral clips everywhere, TikToks analyzing "what's the first thing you'd fix?" – everything from base to release.
Dusty Rhodes was a legit hooper back in the day (Cody's even shouted it out), but clearly the basketball genes took a hard left turn somewhere.
Enter Jade Cargill. Stage Left. In boots.
That @sole_loco Reel? Chef's kiss.
She's out on the outdoor court, draining threes with buttery form—smooth release, solid follow-through, confidence screaming "I did this for real."
Splash after splash while rocking boots like it's just another day at the office.
Quick History Lesson
Before she was wrecking shop in WWE as the Women's Champion, Jade was a forward for Jacksonville University Dolphins.
Career stats?
Over 100+ games, averaging around 7.7 PPG and 6.4 RPG across four seasons. Led the team in rebounds multiple years (227 one season!), posted double-doubles, stole the ball like it owed her money (48 steals in '12-13).
She wasn't just "on the team"—she was producing. D1 hooper energy doesn't fade; it just waits for a random Reel to remind everyone.
So yeah, while Cody's out here inventing new ways to brick, Jade's casually channeling MJ (or at least prime college Jade) in footwear most people can't even walk in without twisting an ankle.
Boots? That's her version of signature Jordans. She probably could've laced up heels and still dropped a mixtape.
The Rhodes family hoops curse? Officially broken. Dusty would be proud—of Jade, at least.
Cody, brother, hit up Jade for lessons before the next celebrity pickup game. Or just stick to suplexes and story-finishing. The ring's safer.
Meanwhile, Jade? Keep splashin'. In boots, in the squared circle, wherever. You're that girl. 💅🏀
