Major character change; overdue betrayal? - 5 reasons why Bianca Belair was the woman behind Jade Cargill's attack
Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill are the reigning Women's Tag Team Champions, and both stars were supposed to compete in the Women's WarGames match at the WWE Survivor Series. However, Cargill was brutally attacked last Friday night on SmackDown by a mystery star and appeared to be slammed on top of a car in the parking lot.
As a result of the attack, Cargill has been removed from the tournament to crown the inaugural Women's United States Champion and will no longer be in action at the premium live event on Saturday. Bianca Belair may have been the person behind the attack on Jade Cargill and may have had several reasons for betraying her partner.
Listed below are five reasons why Bianca Belair was behind Jade Cargill's attack.
#5. Bianca Belair may have grown to resent WWE star Jade Cargill
Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair have had great success as a tag team. The popular duo is on their second reign as Women's Tag Team Champions and has held the titles for 87 days after defeating The Unholy Union earlier this year at the WWE Bash in Berlin.
Belair could be getting tired of being in a tag team and may have decided the best way to get her point across was to attack Cargill this past Friday night on SmackDown. The EST could be revealed as the mystery attacker via security footage or when Jade makes her return in the weeks ahead.
#4. Belair may have felt like she was carrying the tag team
Most tag teams in WWE break up due to egos, and a prime example of that would be the tension growing within The New Day on RAW at the moment. Bianca Belair may believe she is the main reason the duo has been successful and possibly got into a heated backstage argument with Cargill on SmackDown that turned physical.
Belair could have decided to ride along in the ambulance with Cargill to keep her attack a secret for the time being. The former AEW star may return during the Women's WarGames Match at Survivor Series and go after her tag team partner for revenge.
#3. Belair may be obsessed with holding onto the Women's Tag Team Championship
Jade Cargill was attacked during Bianca Belair's Triple Threat Match on last Friday's edition of SmackDown. Belair was competing against Chelsea Green and Blair Davenport in the tournament for the Women's United States Championship but took herself out of the match to rush backstage to check on Cargill.
The former TBS Champion was also supposed to compete in a Triple Threat Match in the Women's United States Championship tournament this Friday on SmackDown, but she has been ruled out due to the attack.
Belair may have decided the best way to remain Women's Tag Team Champions was to eliminate Cargill from the tournament by attacking her from behind on SmackDown. The EST could now possibly hold both titles in The Storm's absence instead of vacating them.
#2. Belair could want a major title again
Bianca Belair had a ton of success as a singles star before teaming up with Jade Cargill. The 35-year-old could have her sights set on the WWE Women's Championship or the Women's World Heavyweight Championship and may have decided to take a drastic step to get back to the top of the division.
The veteran could secretly be hoping that the attack leads to the duo being forced to relinquish the Women's Tag Team Championship. This would allow Belair to focus on a major champion once again following the Survivor Series: WarGames this Saturday night.
#1. Bianca Belair could be turning heel alongside Montez Ford
Bianca Belair and Montez Ford are married in real life. Ford is currently a part of The Street Profits tag team alongside Angelo Dawkins on WWE SmackDown. The tag team has not been successful as of late and requires a change.
Belair could be getting set to turn heel with The Street Profits to form a powerful new faction on the blue brand. She may have decided to get rid of Jade Cargill by attacking her and could have more sinister plans moving forward.
