Jade Cargill is one of the biggest female signings WWE has made over the past few years. The Storm jumped ship from AEW to WWE back in 2023 following a legendary TBS Championship reign in the company. Since joining WWE, Cargill has been heavily featured on programming, quickly establishing herself as a dominant force.
She is a former Women’s World Tag Team Champion and the winner of the 2025 Queen of the Ring tournament. Currently, Jade is engaged in a high-profile feud with the WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton, showcasing some of the best female wrestling action on SmackDown.
### Emotional Message to Kris Statlander
Recently, Jade sent an emotional message to the current AEW Women’s World Champion Kris Statlander on Instagram. Bayley posted several pictures featuring close friends, including one showing Statlander holding Bayley in her arms. Jade commented on the post, calling Statlander “the best,” to which Bayley also agreed, writing, “Stat is the best ❤️.”
Jade Cargill and Kris Statlander faced off in Jade’s last match in AEW before her WWE debut, making it great to see Jade still appreciates her friend despite the rivalry between their companies.
### Jade Cargill Turns Heel on WWE SmackDown
In a shocking turn of events on this past week’s episode of SmackDown, Jade Cargill officially turned heel. During the show, Tiffany Stratton defeated Kiana James with ease but was then attacked by the Women’s US Champion Giulia. Jade came out seemingly to save Tiffany but ultimately revealed it was a ruse by attacking her instead.
Backstage, Jade was interviewed by Catchy Kelley after the attack and gave a chilling promo:
> “Consequences? You only face them when you make mistakes. The only mistake I made was thinking that this world rewards patience. It rewards power. And I’m taking it, starting with the WWE Women’s Championship.”
This heel turn marks a new chapter for Jade Cargill, and it will be fascinating to see what lies ahead for The Storm as she sets her sights on the WWE Women’s Championship.
