The rivalry between Jade Cargill and Naomi just got intense to a whole other level. After weeks and weeks of taking shots at each other and fighting, they are finally going to battle it out at the biggest stage of them all, WrestleMania.

The former Women’s Champion was set to face B-Fab on the latest episode of SmackDown. However, before the match, Jade Cargill ambushed her in retaliation for last week’s attack. Despite the assault, the 37-year-old still managed to defeat B-Fab but was attacked once again by The Storm after the match.

After their brawl spiraled out of control, SmackDown GM Nick Aldis declared that WrestleMania was the only place the two stars could settle things. Once the match was made official, Cargill took to X and sent a message to her opponent. She warned that Naomi wouldn’t be able to outrun The Storm and would pay for her actions at the Showcase of the Immortals.

The former AEW wrestler recently returned at the Elimination Chamber PLE after months away. To everyone’s shock, she brutally attacked Naomi when she realized she was the mystery attacker. The 37-year-old star was jealous of Bianca Belair’s growing friendship with Cargill and felt that Belair was taking her best friend away.

Things didn’t go Naomi’s way on the latest episode of SmackDown, as Cargill finally got her hands on her. It seemed The Storm did serious damage, leaving the former Women’s Champion laid out. Naomi later sent a final message to Cargill ahead of their intense showdown at WrestleMania.

The 37-year-old superstar posted a video on X, visibly upset about what happened on SmackDown. In the clip, Naomi appeared shaken by the damage Cargill did to her face during the post-match attack. She also added a caption that read, “Receipts are coming,” suggesting that the former AEW star would soon face payback.

Ironically, both stars were partners at WrestleMania XL, teaming up with Belair to defeat Damage CTRL’s Asuka, Dakota Kai, and Kairi Sane. A lot has changed in a year, and now they’re set to face each other at the Show of Shows. It will be interesting to see who walks away with the bragging rights at WrestleMania.

There’s no doubt that Cargill is one of the strongest women in the division. However, injuries held her back from reaching the top. Since then, she’s been recovering and training for her return. When she finally came back at the Elimination Chamber PLE earlier this year, she looked to be in great shape.

Recently, The Storm shared that she had gone through a body transformation. In an Instagram story, she mentioned becoming a bit leaner and asked fans if they had noticed the change. Cargill also said that even though she was still lifting weights, the difference in her physique was clearly visible.

Many fans believed she became significantly improved as a wrestler after her return. Her match against Liv Morgan was one of the best of her career a few weeks ago on SmackDown. Nevertheless, she will look to win her second match at WrestleMania against Naomi and stay undefeated at the biggest event of WWE.
