Jade Cargill and Rhea Ripley have been exchanging heated messages on social media as their Rhea Ripley WrestleMania Feud intensifies. Ripley secured her spot to challenge for the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 42 by winning the 2026 Women’s Elimination Chamber Match, setting the stage for a major showdown. Cargill, who has held the title since November 2025, has successfully defended it once against Jordynne Grace after winning it from Tiffany Stratton, ending a reign that lasted over 300 days.
Chelsea Green, known as The Eradicator and an ally of Ripley, also entered the fray with comments intended to support Ripley, though these remarks provoked a sharp response from Cargill.
Jade Cargill Takes Aim at Rhea Ripley’s Status
On X, Jade Cargill called Rhea Ripley the “second option,” challenging her directly by asking Ripley to tag her in future posts to ensure she sees them. Cargill wrote,
“No boo. You were the second option. @ me next time so I see it,”
This exchange underscores the tension brewing ahead of their anticipated WrestleMania clash. Recently, on RAW after the Elimination Chamber event, Ripley announced her separation from IYO SKY, ending their tag team known as RHIYO. The team had enjoyed success as WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions before losing the titles to Nia Jax and Lash Legend just prior to the Elimination Chamber 2026 event.

Meanwhile, her stablemate Alba Fyre remains active in the ring, recently facing Tiffany Stratton on SmackDown. Cargill and Ripley are slated to appear on this week’s SmackDown, where fans can expect a fiery and intense encounter that will likely amplify the animosity leading up to their WrestleMania 42 match.
“Keep tap dancing Chelsea. Woof Woof,”
wrote Jade Cargill in response to Green’s support of Ripley.
