WWE’s investigation into the November 22 backstage attack on Jade Cargill took a dramatic turn last Friday when surveillance footage shifted focus away from initial suspects. The video evidence presented during SmackDown implicated Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez in the assault that sidelined Cargill for nearly three months.
The revelation comes after weeks of speculation centering on Naomi, who partnered with Bianca Belair following Cargill’s absence. The substitution initially raised questions about Naomi’s potential involvement, though she consistently denied any connection to the attack.
This new evidence prompted immediate action from Belair and Naomi, who confronted Morgan and Rodriguez during Monday’s Raw broadcast. The confrontation marks the first direct interaction between the teams since the surveillance footage surfaced.
The timing proves significant as Cargill appears poised to return to competition. Reports indicate the 32-year-old former AEW star will resume her in-ring career in the immediate future, potentially rejoining the storyline that developed during her absence.
Cargill addressed the situation cryptically on social media, sharing an image of herself in formal attire. The post arrives at a crucial moment as WWE continues developing the narrative surrounding her absence and imminent return.
The investigation began when Belair discovered Cargill incapacitated backstage during the November 22 SmackDown broadcast. With her tag team partner sidelined, Belair initially searched for the perpetrator before ultimately partnering with Naomi to pursue Women’s Tag Team Championship opportunities.
