The WWE Women’s Champion is officially no longer standing alone. During a tense segment on the March 20 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Jade Cargill and Rhea Ripley engaged in a war of words regarding their upcoming WrestleMania 42 clash. While Ripley offered the champion a “free shot” to settle their differences immediately, Cargill initially backed down, stating she would handle business on her “own time.”
However, the situation took a violent turn as Cargill was leaving the ring. Longtime rivals B-Fab and Michin emerged at the top of the ramp, but rather than attacking Cargill, they aligned with the champion. The three women surrounded Ripley in the ring, initiating a brutal triple-team assault. The segment concluded with Cargill hitting Ripley with “Jaded,” standing tall over the challenger alongside her new associates. This alliance represents a major shift in the blue brand’s landscape, as B-Fab and Michin appear to have traded their previous animosity toward Cargill for a role in her dominant “money-making” regime.
