On WWE SmackDown, reigning Women’s Champion Jade Cargill was surprised backstage when Michin and B-Fab made their return after suffering separate injuries earlier in January during house shows. The two superstars confronted Cargill, marking a notable moment as they resumed their WWE television presence.
Current Standing of the Women’s Champion
Jade Cargill captured the WWE Women’s Championship on November 1, 2025, during Saturday Night’s Main Event and has successfully defended her title once against Jordynne Grace. Recently, she delivered an in-ring promo before Charlotte Flair appeared for her Elimination Chamber qualifying match, underscoring Cargill’s ongoing prominence within the division.
Collaborations with WWE Legend Booker T
Cargill has revealed that she is receiving guidance and training from WWE Hall of Famer Booker T. In an interview with The Sun, she expressed how much she values the mentorship and support she’s been getting from him and other wrestling figures.
“CM Punk talks to me a lot. Cody talks to me a lot. Ricky Saints talks to me a lot. He’s great. There’s a lot of people. Booker T, he and I sit down, and we have Zoom meetings as well. Yes, we do a lot of school. I’m thankful to work with him as well. There’s so many people; I don’t want to name them all, but Paul Heyman. That is my guy! Gosh, I love Paul Heyman. It was him and Stone Cold Steve Austin. I was like those are the two people I have to meet. When I met him, I was like, listen I have to get a pic with you.”
This collaboration hints at Cargill’s dedication to improving her craft and solidifying her status as a top competitor.
