Jade Cargill will return to SmackDown this Friday, March 7, WWE announced during Raw on March 3. This marks her first appearance since launching a surprise attack on Naomi at Elimination Chamber.
Following the Elimination Chamber incident, Cargill shared an emotional social media vignette. The powerful message addressed her journey and mindset heading into this return.
There are wolves in the shape of women all around me. I can see the way they look into my eyes. I am not them, and they are not me. I weathered every storm that was meant to break me.
Cargill continued by addressing criticisms and personal challenges she has faced while establishing herself in WWE.
They demanded proof I belong, as if my scars weren’t enough, losing my mother while being a mother, carrying the weight of it all while still thriving. You don’t have to like me, but you will respect me. I’m here because I’ve earned it, every scar, every loss, every step. I will not strike myself for anyone. Don’t mistake my grace for weakness. I’ve played by the rules long enough. Now it’s time for mine. I am one of one. I am that bitch.
The closing line directly references her catchphrase from her time before joining WWE, signaling a potential shift in her approach to competition.
With Naomi still recovering from the attack at Elimination Chamber, her potential response to Cargill’s return remains to be seen. The confrontation adds a new dynamic to the SmackDown women’s division heading into WrestleMania season.
