The women’s division on WWE has just taken a major turn — Jade Cargill shocked everyone by betraying Tiffany Stratton on SmackDown, and that single act has sent ripples throughout the roster. Her face persona, once polished and hopeful, now appears to have been a mis-cast fit for her commanding presence. With her turn, the stage is set for a complete reinvention.

Rumors suggest this move is far more than a simple character switch — it represents WWE’s plan to reset the women’s hierarchy. Cargill’s frustration at repeated setbacks, combined with an aura that has always screamed “dominant heel,” adds another layer of depth to this shift. With fresh rivalries, new alliances, and a chance at the Women’s Championship on the horizon, the “Storm” is ready—and the division should be trembling. Explore the full story and all five reasons behind Cargill’s transformation!
