Jade Cargill Makes Return, Attacks Rhea Ripley On WWE Smackdown

Jade Cargill isn’t done with Rhea Ripley, making her return on this week’s WWE Smackdown to assault the Women’s Champion. Cargill made her return to WWE TV on Friday’s show for the first time since she lost the WWE Women’s Championship to Ripley. She came out to the ring as Ripley was teaming with Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss against Fatal Influence and tripped Ripley off the ropes.

The moment distracted Ripley enough that Jacy Jayne was able to hit Bliss with the Rolling Encore on Bliss and get the win. Cargill came into the ring alongside B-Fab and Michin and attacked the babyfaces, leaving them laying.

You can see highlights from the WWE Smackdown match and post-match segment below. Ripley won the title from Cargill on the second night of WrestleMania 42. She picked up the win after IYO SKY came out to counteract the attempted interference of B-Fab and Michin at the PLE.
