Top three replacements for Jade Cargill following injury on WWE SmackDown

Jade Cargill suffered an injury on WWE SmackDown last week

During the latest episode of WWE SmackDown, Jade Cargill suffered a frightening injury in the closing stages of a Women’s Championship Triple Threat Match. In the chaotic finish, Nia Jax slammed her head into the steel steps, leaving the 33-year-old star bloodied and unable to continue.

The report suggests, Cargill required stitches to close the wound but avoided plastic surgery. It further noted that she is expected to be back in action within a few weeks, which is a positive sign given the nature of the injury.

Still, WWE may need temporary replacements to keep the women’s division strong until she is cleared. Here are three possible names who could step up on SmackDown.

3. Karmen Petrovic

WWE NXT standout Karmen Petrovic looks like a good option. The Canadian talent has impressed fans with her martial arts-inspired offense and could be elevated to the SmackDown roster during Jade’s recovery.

If called up, she could even align with Chelsea Green as part of the ongoing Secret Hervice storyline. With Piper Niven sidelined, Petrovic’s inclusion would provide a fresh face and give WWE a chance to showcase a rising star on national television.

2. Nikki Bella

Perhaps the most surprising possibility is a return to action for Nikki Bella. The WWE Hall of Famer has not been involved in current storylines but remains a household name in wrestling.

Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton has even expressed interest in facing Bella at WrestleMania 42. If WWE pulls the trigger, Nikki could step in during Jade’s absence and begin a headline program with Stratton, elevating the title picture in the process.

1. Bianca Belair

The most obvious name is Bianca Belair, who has been absent from WWE programming since her match at WrestleMania 41. The “EST of WWE” remains one of the biggest stars in the division and would be a natural choice to reinsert into storylines.

Belair also has history with Cargill, having formed an alliance earlier this year. Bringing her back now would allow WWE to continue Jade’s momentum while setting up a potential clash with Nia Jax for her role in the injury. With Jade on the shelf, Belair’s return would add star power and credibility to the blue brand.
