Jade Cargill sidelined after backstage attack; WWE Tag Team Titles in jeopardy

Jade Cargill’s WWE future hangs in the balance after a mysterious attack left her unconscious on SmackDown. The incident occurred backstage when The Storm was found on the hood of a car, with WWE reporting she sustained multiple internal injuries.

The attack raises questions about the fate of the Women’s Tag Team Championship, which Cargill holds alongside Bianca Belair. WWE announced through social media that the 32-year-old star will be out of action indefinitely, suggesting the champions may need to relinquish their titles after Survivor Series 2024.

Reports indicate Cargill may be dealing with a legitimate injury, with WWE potentially using the storyline attack to explain her absence during recovery. The situation could lead to Belair returning to singles competition, possibly while investigating her partner’s attacker.
