3-time WWE champion accused of being the mastermind behind the mysterious Jade Cargill attack, issues statement
Jade Cargill's WWE future has been up in the air following a mysterious backstage assault on SmackDown last night. Naomi, who's a two-time Women's Champion and a Tag Team Champion, has been accused by many of being the mastermind behind the attack. She has now responded to the accusation.
On this week's episode of SmackDown, Cargill was found lying unconscious on the bonnet and windshield of a car. The incident happened during a Triple Threat match between Chelsea Green, Bianca Belair, and Blair Davenport as part of the Women’s United States Championship Tournament.
Jade Cargill was stretchered out of the arena and taken to a medical facility. Big Jade's tag team partner, Bianca Belair, accompanied her in the ambulance. WWE later announced that the former AEW star was diagnosed with deep lumbar paraspinal muscle contusions, a bruised kidney, a sprained MCL in her right knee, a tibial plateau bone bruise of her right knee, and facial lacerations.
Many fans have since held Naomi responsible for attacking one-half of the Women's Tag Team Champions. The Glow took to her official X/Twitter handle to set the record straight, asking fans to apologize when she would be cleared of the accusations.
"And when my name is cleared I expect my timeline to be flooded with apologies from accusers bc I DID NOT try to end my sis!"
