Jade Cargill Set to Defend WWE Title on TV After 100+ Days
Jade Cargill is scheduled to defend her WWE Women’s Championship for the first time on television after a significant 100-day reign as champion. This highly anticipated match will take place on February 13, during the SmackDown episode airing on SyFy.
Background
Cargill won the championship on November 1, marking the start of her dominant reign. Until now, her title defenses have been limited primarily to house shows, competing against wrestlers like Michin, B-Fab, and Bayley.
SmackDown Episode Highlights
In a recent SmackDown episode, Liv Morgan, the Royal Rumble winner, made a surprise appearance. She expressed her intention to challenge Cargill for the title at WrestleMania 42. This confrontation did not sit well with Cargill, who quickly entered the scene to confront Morgan.
Tag Team Match
General Manager Nick Aldis took immediate action by scheduling a tag team match featuring Jade Cargill and Jordynne Grace against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. The match was filled with tension, leading to various blunders among teammates. Notable moments included Raquel accidentally delivering a big boot to Morgan. Grace capitalized on the chaos, securing a pinfall victory for her team.
Backstage Tensions and Upcoming Title Defense
Following the match, tensions flared between Cargill and Grace backstage. Aldis intervened to remind Cargill of her impending title defense against Grace next week. As Jade approaches her significant milestone of over 100 days as champion, the upcoming match raises questions about the effectiveness of her long reign and whether it will pay off.
Looking Ahead
WWE fans can expect an exciting showdown as Jade Cargill prepares to step into the ring against Jordynne Grace. As the first televised title defense since winning the championship, the stakes have never been higher for Cargill. Will she maintain her grip on the title, or will Grace emerge victorious?
Be sure to tune in to SmackDown on February 13 for what promises to be an exhilarating clash for the WWE Women’s Championship.
