Backstage update on Jade Cargill's injury (Exclusive)

Jade Cargill hasn't appeared on WWE television in weeks. The Storm was written off the company's programming following a backstage attack on SmackDown. Nick Aldis even made Naomi the co-holder of the Women's Tag Team Championship amid Cargill's absence.

During a recent edition of Live Q&A on Backstage Pass, WrestleVotes provided the latest backstage update on Jade Cargill's injury, noting that she was put on the injury list internally but that wasn't incorporated into the storyline.

"The last thing I heard on Jade was that internally she shows up on the injured list and that they don't use that for storylines. So she will be gone for a while is everything I've heard." [23:35 onwards]

WrestleVotes previously reported that WWE was keeping the whole Jade Cargill situation very quiet and that she wouldn't be back in the ring anytime soon.

"I've done some digging, and it's just like it's reported elsewhere. Everything's being kept very quiet. I do know that I won't expect her [to return] anytime soon. And anytime soon being a very long time." [02:15 onwards]

It appears fans have no choice but to wait for Cargill to return to active in-ring competition.

About the author

Manik Aftab writes Exclusive articles for Sportskeeda Wrestling’s WWE division. A BA (Hons) in English Literature helped him improve his writing skills before starting his career as a pro wrestling writer.

Before joining Sportskeeda, Aftab worked for Ringside News and The Sportster, where his wrestling articles and feature pieces consistently ranked on the first page of Google SERPs.

He prioritizes accuracy, relevance, and ethics in his reporting by conducting thorough research, verifying sources, and adhering to professional journalistic standards.

While Aftab’s favorite wrestler in AEW is Hangman Adam Page, he doesn’t have a favorite in WWE yet. However, he considers Stone Cold Steve Austin to be the greatest professional wrestler of all time. His earliest memory of watching pro wrestling was when The Rock faced The New Age Outlaws in a handicap match, but it was the John Cena vs. Edge match from Unforgiven 2006 that got him hooked. If given the chance to manage a star from the Attitude Era, he would choose The British Bulldog, as he believes Davey Boy Smith was a terrific worker and could've benefitted from having a mouthpiece for his lack of mic skills.

When not watching pro wrestling, Aftab enjoys reading science fiction and watching anime.
