Jade Cargill’s First Big Test is Rhea Ripley
Cargill has been the WWE Women’s Champion for over 100 days. She’s had one successful title defense against Jordynne Grace. The “WrestleMania 42” clash with Ripley will be the most high-profile match Cargill has had as a world champion.
Ripley became the favorite to win the women’s chamber match after she and Iyo Sky failed to retain the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship against Nia Jax and Lash Legend on Friday’s episode of “SmackDown.”
There’s no word on what Sky will be left to do at “WrestleMania,” but many suspect it’ll have something to do with either Kairi Sane and Asuka or WWE Women’s United States Champion Giulia. As for Ripley, she’s back in world title contention in time for WWE’s biggest annual show.
