Jade Cargill’s Current Status as WWE Women’s Champion
Cargill claimed the WWE Women’s Championship by defeating Tiffany Stratton at Saturday Night’s Main Event in November 2025. Despite holding the title for nearly 100 days, she has yet to defend the championship regularly on television and has appeared in only a limited number of matches to date. Fans who expected her current look and gear to be reflected more accurately in WWE 2K26 were left dissatisfied.

While the game promises updates and new features, the depiction of some wrestlers, including Jade Cargill, has sparked debate due to the use of outdated gear choices rather than recent attire changes.
