Report: Jade Cargill Had Backstage Confrontation With Shayna Baszler After 'Rubbing Enough People The Wrong Way'

Jade Cargill and Shayna Baszler reportedly had a backstage confrontation over Cargill’s conduct, according to reports.

Cargill made her return to WWE at Elimination Chamber on March 1 after being written off television with an undisclosed injury in late 2024. Per Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, prior to being written off TV Cargill had allegedly rubbed a number of the Raw women’s locker room the wrong way, with Baszler allegedly wanting to fight Cargill until being calmed down by management.

Meltzer suggests that issues between the two arose whilst the two were in a tag programme with one another in Summer 2024, with ‘half a dozen people’ confirming that an incident took place, although the specifics have not been made known.

The report cites an unnamed member of the WWE women’s locker room who suggests that tensions in the SmackDown locker room are supposedly worse than any in the Raw locker room.

There have been reports of frustration within WWE’s women’s locker rooms in 2025, with a host of creative issues being of major concern to WWE’s women’s division.
