After Jade Cargill was viciously attacked a few weeks ago on WWE SmackDown, Naomi stepped up to replace her as Bianca Belair's tag team partner. They defended the Women's Tag Team Championship last week by defeating Nia Jax and Candice LeRae.
The duo was in action again during the latest episode of SmackDown, this time in a six-woman tag team match. Before the bout, Belair and Naomi addressed their recent victory in a backstage interview. The EST praised Naomi for stepping up and helping retain the titles.
However, Belair clarified that they haven’t forgotten what happened to Jade Cargill. She stated that she strongly suspects one among Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton, or Candice LeRae was behind the attack and vowed to uncover the truth.
"Naomi showed up. She stepped up. She had my back, made sure we could keep these titles in. I know we gotta move forward with just me and you, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to forget what happened to Jade cause I know one of them did it. I know it was either Candice, Nia, or Tiffany. So, I know you gonna be with me to help keep fighting until we find out who did it," Belair said.
It remains to be seen who was responsible for the assault on Jade Cargill.
