Jade Cargill’s WWE in-ring debut is inching ever closer.
The October 13th episode of SmackDown was stacked with star power and a number of huge announcements. The show featured the debut of Nick Aldis, Kevin Owens was moved to the blue brand, and Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns crossed paths for the first time in months.
Meanwhile, there were also some major developments in the women’s division.
In a backstage segment, Triple H confirmed that Charlotte Flair will meet Iyo Sky for the Women’s Title on October 20th. Just as Flair turned around to leave, she turned straight into Jade Cargill.
Triple H attempted to make an introduction but it quickly became clear it wasn’t needed. Flair said that the pleasure was all hers before Cargill confidently replied “Oh, it will be”
This was the first time that Cargill has interacted with another WWE Superstar on television since her move from AEW. The star has previously been seen backstage at Fastlane and NXT.
Another WWE star who is keeping a close eye on Jade Cargill is World Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley. The Australian star says she is excited at the idea of facing Cargill if she lands on Raw.
