Jade Cargill Addressed the WWE Universe on SmackDown
After her massive win over Michin and confrontation with Rhea Ripley last week, WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill comes out to speak next. Cargill immediately got into it, saying she doesn’t want to waste time and called out Rhea Ripley.
Mami would immediately come out to a thunderous reaction. These two went at it on the mic, with Cargill saying she doesn’t need the title, the fans, or wrestling in general, as she made herself, and she’s here to make her bottom line bigger.
Jade would go for the jugular, saying she doesn’t care about what Ripley sacrificed. Rhea Ripley would make a fiery comeback, saying Cargill doesn’t know the first thing about this business, and it shows.
Ripley said she doesn’t need the title, either, but that title needs her to save it from Cargill’s clutches. Rhea would get the last word in, saying Jade should thank her for granting her a big match, concluding this confrontation with a remark along the lines of “Welcome to the big leagues, b*itch!”
Ripley would challenge Cargill to a fight, but the WWE Women’s Champion would once again high-tail it. Cargill had a lot of help, forming an alliance to take down Ripley.
Backstage:
- The Miz was providing advice to Kit Wilson before getting interrupted by Danhausen. Miz said he does not want to mentor Danhausen and sent Wilson on his way.
- Solo Sikoa was livid, blaming MFT for their loss. Tama Tonga said Sikoa has changed since he got the lantern, and he should give it back. Before Sikoa could answer, we see Fatu once again violently beating McIntyre.
United States Championship Match
Ilja Dragunov is finally ready for his rematch as he faces off against Carmelo Hayes for the U.S. Championship. These two wrote another epic chapter into their rivalry, as these two hit each other with absolute bombs.
Dragunov was once again a killer, coming so close to beating Hayes to secure his 2nd United States Title. Unfortunately, Melo had more gas in the tank tonight, and with a Sunset Flip Powerbomb, he ended up pinning Dragunov to retain the United States Championship once again.
Backstage:
- Jelly Roll congratulated Damian Priest and R-Truth on their title win. Orton would come into the scene, apologizing to Jelly Roll for last week. Jelly Roll would try to make him see the light, saying he should do what needs to be done, beginning with Matt Cardona. They exchanged appreciation for each other.
