Former WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill made a stunning return to SmackDown last week when she attacked the woman who beat her for that belt at WrestleMania 42, Rhea Ripley.
Jade was scheduled to address her actions on tonight’s (May 15) episode. Cargill really didn’t have much to say in her return promo other than she plans to win back her championship on May 31 at Clash In Italy. I guess that implies WWE has booked her in a title match against Ripley on the card.
Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss soon interrupted, and Jade referred to them as Rhea’s backup dancers. The babyfaces returned the insult right back at Jade’s Baddies, Michin and B-Fab, ahead of their tag team match.
Ripley’s backup dancers had the match in hand when Jade interfered to cause a disqualification finish. Rhea was nowhere to be found, so WWE put a big spotlight on the long-awaited confrontation and trash talk between Cargill and Flair, which included Charlotte referring to Jade as a bitch multiple times during the bout.
WWE later announced there will be a 6-woman tag match of Ripley, Bliss, and Flair vs. Cargill, Michin, and B-Fab on Saturday Night’s Main Event on May 23.
Based on what happened on SmackDown, are you actually looking forward more to Cargill vs. Flair than Cargill vs. Ripley? Do you think Jade will win back the belt in Italy? Let me know in the comments below, Cagesiders.
