4 possible directions for Jade Cargill following her loss on WWE SmackDown - New title feud, major grudge match and more

WWE will hold the King and Queen of the Ring Premium Live Event very soon. The big event will air next Saturday from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The show will feature the crowning of a new King of the Ring and Queen of the Ring.

All the first-round bouts of the 2024 King and Queen of the Ring tournament took place last week and fans saw the quarterfinal matches taking place this week. Some of the best and most popular stars in the entire company have been part of these two tournaments, including Jade Cargill.

Cargill managed to win the first-round match against Piper Niven impressively. She then lost to Nia Jax in the quarterfinals, albeit only by disqualification when she snapped and hit The Irresistible Force with a steel chair.

Many people expected Jade to make it to the finals of the tournament or even be crowned the new Queen of the Ring. Now that she lost, fans are curious about what direction her career may take. This article will look at a handful of things the powerful star can do going forward.

Below are four possible directions for Jade Cargill following her loss on WWE SmackDown.

#4. Jade could feud with Nia Jax

Jade Cargill, her daughter, and Nia Jax

Nia Jax is a controversial WWE Superstar. While many fans have despised her for the antics she has pulled over the years, there is no denying that Jax is one of the most dominant female performers today. She has also improved quite a bit in her latest run.

The powerful Jax and Jade Cargill are not strangers. They first had issues in the 2024 Women's Royal Rumble Match, where Cargill made her WWE debut and eventually eliminated Nia. They then battled it out on SmackDown, but things turned heated very quickly.

A steel chair was used and the two even had to be separated by company officials. As a result, it feels inevitable that they will cross paths again sooner rather than later. A feud with Nia could be Jade's direction moving forward despite also holding the Women's Tag Team Championship.

#3. She could split up with Bianca Belair

WWE Backlash France was an excellent show. It will likely be best remembered for the incredible fans who were present in the arena, but it also had numerous high-quality bouts. Additionally, a major title change took place when Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill won the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.

The two stars defeating The Kabuki Warriors was a big moment, but there may already be trouble in paradise. Both women entered the 2024 Queen of the Ring tournament and before Jade was disqualified, there was a very real chance that the two might have ended up facing each other.

They had a tense conversation on SmackDown before Jade's loss that could be setting up the pair for a potential split soon. A miscommunication or egos getting the better of them could see the two drop the Women's Tag Team Championship and engage in a singles feud that would possibly culminate at the Clash at the Castle 2024 Premium Live Event in Glasgow, Scotland.

#2. Jade and Belair can feud with Tiffany Stratton and Nia Jax

As noted, it was Nia Jax who won against Jade Cargill on the latest episode of Friday Night SmackDown, albeit by questionable circumstances. However, it was not the only qualifying match on the show. Bianca Belair also battled Tiffany Stratton in the quarterfinals of the 2024 Queen of the Ring tournament.

Tiffany having beef with Bianca and Nia having issues with Jade could lead to a WWE Women's Tag Team Championship feud. The Buff Barbie and The Irresistible Force could unite to battle The EST and The Storm for the coveted titles.

The alliance of Nia and Tiffany makes sense. They are friends away from television and regularly make TikToks together. Beyond that, when Nia Jax debuted on SmackDown by attacking Bayley and Naomi, she notably left Tiffany unscathed. The two teaming up together could have been building for weeks now.

#1. Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell could chase the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship

Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell are two of WWE's most underrated and underutilized performers. Indi is a former NXT Women's Champion and Candice is actually one of the most talented wrestlers in the company, but she is rarely able to show her skills off.

The Poison Pixie went one-on-one with Bianca Belair in the 2024 Queen of the Ring tournament. While she lost, Indi and Candice did hurt Bianca's leg which is still bothering her over a week later and could end up costing Belair the win against Nia Jax next week.

Regardless of how that bout goes, Jade's next feud could be with Candice and Indi. The duo could challenge for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship at the Clash at the Castle 2024 Premium Live Event. While LeRae and Hartwell would be the underdogs, The Poison Pixie's ruthless side and cunning expertise could be enough to dethrone Bianca and Jade.
