Jade Cargill and Jordynne Grace have taken their growing rivalry beyond the ring to social media, adding further drama to the WWE women’s division in early 2026. Jade Cargill, the WWE Women’s Champion, found herself at the center of controversy after a pointed insult from her newest opponent, sparking fresh debate among fans about the competition at the top of SmackDown.
A shift in the women’s championship landscape began when Michin, previously set to challenge Cargill, sustained an injury during WWE’s 2025 Holiday Tour, ruling her out of contention. With Michin sidelined, Jade Cargill encountered Jordynne Grace, who was recently introduced to SmackDown as the newest addition to its roster by General Manager Nick Aldis.
Jordynne Grace quickly made her presence felt, not only securing a decisive win over Slaygent A Alba Fyre, Chelsea Green’s bodyguard, but also intensifying her feud with Cargill. Following her in-ring victory, Grace faced off with Cargill, leading to a tense stare-down that was later broadcast to fans when Grace posted a photo of the moment on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Verbal Barbs Shared Between Cargill and Grace
Their confrontation spilled onto social media, where Jade Cargill responded to Grace’s post, leading to an exchange that would quickly go viral within the wrestling community.
“you left your glutes at home though,”
wrote Cargill.— Jade Cargill, WWE Women’s Champion
Grace quickly replied with a stinging retort, referencing Cargill’s attitude and stirring further buzz around their feud:
“Since a b*tch is a female dog, it does make sense that you’re barking a lot,”
Grace replied.— Jordynne Grace, WWE star
Championship Landscape Shifts on SmackDown
The WWE women’s division has witnessed significant movement over the past weeks, with Jade Cargill adjusting to new challengers and emerging threats. Grace’s immediate impact was felt both inside and outside the ring, signaling a rejuvenated rivalry that could shape storylines moving forward on Friday Night SmackDown. The excitement was further fueled by Grace’s prompt victory and rapid escalation of hostilities, hinting at a heated future title match between the two competitors.
Chelsea Green Targets Jade Cargill’s Title
Meanwhile, Chelsea Green has her sights set on Jade Cargill’s championship. On the January 2 episode of SmackDown, Green lost the United States Championship to Giulia after a controversial interference by Kiana James. Despite her setback, Green made clear in an interview with TMZ’s Inside The Ring that her ambitions remain undeterred, expressing her intent to pursue the WWE Women’s Championship.
I would love to, you know, take the title off of Jade, I feel like in 2026… either I’m busier and we go for the world title or something like that, or we just, like, take a step back and enjoy this year.— Chelsea Green, WWE star
This statement signals that Cargill’s reign as champion is under threat not just from Jordynne Grace, but also from experienced competitors like Green. As more top contenders enter the frame, the competition for the WWE Women’s Championship intensifies, keeping the division unpredictable and fans engaged.
What This Means for WWE Fans and the Women’s Division

With Michin sidelined due to injury, new storylines are taking shape, including the emergence of Grace as a primary challenger and the continued ambition of Chelsea Green. These developments ensure that the title picture remains dynamic and contentious.
Expect further confrontations both online and in the ring as Cargill seeks to assert her dominance as champion against a rising tide of talented challengers.
