The post-WrestleMania edition of SmackDown could feature a significant return aimed at one of WrestleMania 41’s victorious performers. Industry sources suggest WWE may be planning to reintroduce a notable absence to the blue brand broadcast this week.
Nia Jax is reportedly being considered for a return to WWE programming on SmackDown, potentially targeting Jade Cargill following her victory over Naomi at WrestleMania 41. Jax has been off WWE television for several weeks, creating an opportunity for a dramatic comeback on the traditionally eventful post-WrestleMania broadcast.
The potential confrontation would build on previous interactions between Cargill and Jax, with their past face-offs providing foundation for a new program. WWE traditionally uses the SmackDown following WrestleMania to introduce fresh storylines and character returns.
This potential angle would serve dual purposes within WWE’s ongoing narrative structure. Cargill requires a new opponent after apparently concluding her program with Naomi, while Jax would benefit from immediate relevance after missing WrestleMania 41. The rivalry could potentially extend through multiple Premium Live Events.
No official confirmation has been provided by WWE regarding plans for either performer on the upcoming SmackDown broadcast. The direction for Cargill’s next program is expected to become clearer during this week’s episode.
