IYO SKY shocked the wrestling world on Monday Night RAW by defeating Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Championship. This victory completely altered WWE’s direction heading toward WrestleMania, establishing a championship showdown with Bianca Belair at the marquee event.

However, the current championship picture might undergo another dramatic shift before reaching Las Vegas. Recent developments suggest an entirely different matchup could materialize for The Showcase of The Immortals.

The 2025 Elimination Chamber event featured Jade Cargill’s unexpected return to WWE programming. The 32-year-old star launched a devastating attack on Naomi, leaving both the audience and Bianca Belair visibly stunned by her actions.

This attack initially appeared to suggest Naomi was responsible for the November assault that sidelined Cargill for four months. The incident removed The Storm from television during a critical period in WWE’s programming schedule.

The upcoming episode of SmackDown could dramatically alter this narrative. Jade may reveal that Bianca Belair, not Naomi, orchestrated the November attack that put her on the shelf.

Following this revelation, Cargill could logically approach Triple H to request a championship opportunity against IYO SKY. Her justification would center on compensation for missing four months of action due to Belair’s actions.

This scenario creates a compelling path forward: Jade defeats IYO to capture the Women’s World Championship, followed immediately by Bianca’s true heel turn. Belair would confirm her role as the mastermind behind Cargill’s absence by attacking her former tag team partner post-match.

The confrontation between these two powerhouse performers would establish a natural progression toward a high-stakes championship match at WrestleMania in Las Vegas. Their previous alliance as tag team champions adds meaningful history to this potential rivalry.

WWE’s creative direction appears to be building toward this conclusion based on the subtle storytelling elements presented in recent broadcasts. The Elimination Chamber reaction from Belair, paired with the timing of Cargill’s return, provides the foundation for this narrative twist.

The Las Vegas WrestleMania stage would serve as the perfect backdrop for the culmination of this betrayal storyline between two of WWE’s most physically impressive performers.
