Further Details On Reported Backstage Heat For Jade Cargill

It emerged yesterday that Jade Cargill had reportedly experienced some heat during her spell within WWE, all stemming from an alleged incident with Shayna Baszler. In a supposed confrontation, Baszler wanted to fight Cargill due to the newer star rubbing people the wrong way in the women’s locker room. 

More details have emerged on this incident and in regards to Cargill’s standing in WWE. Fightful Select have noted that Cargill was supposedly unhappy with “something that had unfolded”, with some people online speculating that it came from a moment in a match between the pair that saw Cargill submit prematurely to a choke from Baszler, with the match continuing after. Fightful Select were also told this.

This led to Cargill stating something to the effect of Baszler needing to learn how to work, though those close to Cargill have denied these claims and said that Cargill was more annoyed with herself about the spot. More issues have emerged following a promo after Cargill’s return, that some took as a dig and stab at others in the locker room. 

Cargill returned to WWE programming at the Elimination Chamber premium live event after several months away. When she was written off TV, there were back and forth reports on the legitimacy of her injury. Fightful Select have revealed that some in WWE were sceptical of her injury, especially since Cargill’s request for time off over the holiday tour period was denied. However, it is believed that the injury was in fact legit. On the March 7 episode of SmackDown, it was revealed that Naomi was the one behind the storyline attack.
