The WrestleMania 41 card continues to take shape as SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis officially announced a singles match between Jade Cargill and Naomi following a heated confrontation on Friday Night SmackDown.
The announcement came after Cargill launched multiple attacks on Naomi during the broadcast. Cargill struck before Naomi’s scheduled match with B-Fab and continued her assault following the bell, making her intentions clear. This confrontation stems from unfinished business between the two competitors, as Naomi previously put Cargill on the shelf months ago and subsequently took her place alongside Bianca Belair in a women’s tag team title run.
The rivalry adds another layer to the growing WrestleMania card, which now features seven confirmed matches. The event will be headlined by a Triple Threat match pitting CM Punk against Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, while four championship bouts are scheduled: Gunther defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Jey Uso, Tiffany Stratton putting her WWE Women’s Championship on the line against Charlotte Flair, Iyo Sky defending the Women’s World Championship against Bianca Belair, and Cody Rhodes facing John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
The card also includes AJ Styles squaring off against Logan Paul. Meanwhile, Kevin Owens has been pulled from WrestleMania entirely as he reportedly requires neck surgery.
With the stage now set for Cargill and Naomi to settle their differences, fans can look forward to this personal rivalry playing out on wrestling’s grandest stage.
