Rhea Ripley beat Jade Cargill to capture her second WWE Womenâs Championship in a great match with excellent crowd reactions for the babyface and the heel. Staying true to a feud that involved a supporting cast for both Jade and Rhea, Iyo Sky evened the odds to fight off Michin and B-Fab. Rhea won with the Riptide, dethroning Cargill after an eventful 169-day reign.
Jade Cargill and Rhea Ripleyâs feud featured two polar opposites who may or may not have gotten along in real life. Personal issues reared their heads almost immediately after Rhea Ripley won the Elimination Chamber, leading to a war of words on Twitter.
âHA! I just be talking [sic],â tweeted Cargill in reference to an old clip shared by Ripley of Jade saying sheâd love to wrestle Rhea. âWhich member of our social team found that video for you???? Cause we know they always have to find a way to keep you 'on topâ going into mania. [sic]â
âAll you seem to do is talk⊠And thatâs literally it [sic],â Ripley fired back.
âTalk??? Like the hours you spend talking to creative? [sic]," said Cargill with the knockout blow. The exchange led to an outpouring of reaction from the womenâs locker room, most notably Chelsea Green and Piper Niven who appeared to subtweet Cargill. In the midst of being outnumbered 3v1 by her white co-workers, the strong, Black and confident Jade Cargill was not phased. She never was.
âLadies, itâs okay to pop your sât. Be proud of what youâve done and who you are,â read a from Jade on March 29.

âAt the end of the day me being skyrocketed to the top, thatâs a lot on my shoulders too,â said Jade during a recent appearance on the Joe Budden Podcast. "People sit back and be like âoh, she got this,â like who in the hell is going to say no? Whoâs going to say no? Nobody. Theyâre going to be like hell yeah give it to me.â
The credibility challenged wrestling media took turns reporting whether or not the budding feud between Ripley and Cargill was real. But real or not, this became a controversy defined by a narrative that Rhea Ripley and Jade Cargill legitimately despise one another. As long as all parties remain professional in the ring, this was the perfect dynamic to get fans invested in a WrestleMania storyline.
Despite the real-life tension, the execution was tame in comparison. WWE followed the basic babyface-heel beats with Jade forming a stable of baddies alongside former opps Michin and B-Fab. The feud peaked with a fantastic, heated segment on Raw where Ripley bludgeoned Ripleyâs BFF Iyo Sky with a kendo stick.
In the end, Iyo got her revengeâand even a WrestleMania momentâas she helped Ripley regain the WWE Womenâs Championship.
