Surprising betrayal; major star to return? - 5 reasons why Jade Cargill was written off WWE TV
Jade Cargill was supposed to be in action tomorrow night at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames, but that is no longer the case. The 32-year-old was also scheduled to participate in the Women's United States Championship Tournament but was pulled after she was brutally attacked by a mystery assailant last week on SmackDown.
Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill are the reigning Women's Tag Team Champions, but their title reign could be in jeopardy following the attack. A recent report revealed that Cargill was not injured in real life ahead of the premium live event.
Listed below are five reasons why Jade Cargill has been written off WWE television ahead of Survivor Series: WarGames:
#5. WWE could have bigger plans for Jade Cargill
Jade Cargill is a unique talent who captures the attention of wrestling fans whenever she is on television. The company may have bigger plans for Cargill moving forward and could have had her attacked ahead of Survivor Series as a way to set up a major rivalry.
WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax could be revealed as the mystery attacker in the weeks ahead. Cargill could make it her mission to get revenge on The Irresistible Force and could take the title off of her as well.
#4. Charlotte Flair could return as the star who attacked Cargill
Charlotte Flair and Jade Cargill had an interesting backstage confrontation on the October 13, 2023, episode of SmackDown. Flair hinted that the two could have a rivalry down the line during their conversation last year.
The Queen has not competed in a match since December 2023 and is still recovering from a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus. The veteran could return as Cargill's attacker, and the two stars could have a marquee rivalry following WWE Survivor Series: WarGames.
#3. Cargill may have requested a break
Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair have been working hard to remain the Women's Tag Team Champions in recent months. The popular duo won the titles by defeating The Unholy Union at Bash in Berlin, and have held the titles for 90 days so far.
The former AEW star may have decided that she needed a break ahead of Survivor Series: WarGames and requested that the company give her some time off. The promotion could have had Cargill attacked last week on SmackDown as a way to write the former TBS Champion off television.
#2. The promotion may have wanted to protect Bayley's WarGames record
Bayley has been revealed to be Jade Cargill's replacement in the Women's WarGames Match at WWE Survivor Series tomorrow night. The Role Model helped Bianca Belair defeat Nia Jax in the main event of past Monday's edition of RAW to earn the advantage for their squad at the premium live event.
The former leader of Damage CTRL has competed in the past two Women's WarGames Matches at Survivor Series, and the company may have wanted to maintain that record. Bayley could have replaced Cargill in the match as a way to ensure that the 35-year-old remained a fixture in WarGames.
#1. The company may have had Cargill attacked on SmackDown to push her potential split with Belair
Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill have been dominant as Women's Tag Team Champions. However, The EST may be growing tired of being in a tag team and could be the one behind the attack on her partner last week on SmackDown.
Cargill could return in the coming weeks and reveal that Belair was the person who attacked her. The 35-year-old and Big Jade would then likely break up as a tag team, and enter into a personal rivalry against each other on SmackDown.
