Jade Cargill and Naomi tore the house down in their brutal No Holds Barred match at Evolution, but it seems WWE actually rejected an incredibly dangerous pitch for their bout.
While speaking to Metro UK, Jade Cargill revealed that she and Naomi had big ideas for their No Holds Barred Match, but some of their ideas were turned down by WWE officials. They wanted to use weapons like mace and razors, but those plans were rejected for safety reasons.
Jade admitted she especially wanted to include mace, but officials were worried about the risk to the live audience, since mace can spread easily and could have affected people in the front rows. She admitted that the entire first row would have been hit if it had been allowed.
“There was so much we wanted to use that was asked,’ she laughed. ‘We wanted to use mace, that was going to be tough. And then we wanted to use razors, and that was going to be tough, but I welcome it! ‘I wish we were able to use the mace. [But] we gotta think about the crowd, we don’t want anybody in the crowd to be maced, because mace goes so far.
That would’ve been wild! The whole first front row would have been lit with mace!”
Jade Cargill would beat Naomi in the match but Naomi had the last laugh after cashing in her Money in the Bank briefcase at the end of Evolution in order to become the Women’s World Champion.
The No Holds Barred match between Jade Cargill and Naomi was already full of hard-hitting action, but knowing that their even crazier ideas were rejected shows how far they wanted to push things. In the end, fans were happy with the match and that’s what mattered most.
What do you think—should WWE have allowed Jade Cargill and Naomi to use extreme weapons like mace and razors? Sound off in the comments.
