Earlier reports suggested that she is dealing with a legitimate neck injury due to which the promotion decided to write her off ahead of the Survivor Series PLE.

However, as per recent reports from PWInsider, the initial reports are false as the dramatic segment on the 11/22 episode of SmackDown was a deliberate plot twist, laying the groundwork for a future storyline. The report closes by reiterating “So, in short, Jade Cargill is not injured.”
