Jade Cargill returned to WWE TV after months of absence due to a storyline injury caused by a mysterious attacker. Cargill charged inside the Elimination Chamber and relentlessly attacked Naomi inside the Chamber, tossing her around the structure before delivering a brutal kick that sent her crashing into one of the pod. Trapped inside, Belair could only watch in horror, screaming and crying for Naomi.
WWE officials rushed in to separate Cargill from Naomi, eventually forcing her to the back. Meanwhile, Naomi was stretchered out of the arena, with an official announcement confirming she was unable to compete. When Belair’s pod finally opened, instead of focusing on the match, she sprinted toward the Chamber door, watching in concern as Naomi was taken up the ramp. “The EST” later went on to win the match and book her ticket to WrestleMania 41.
With the explosive developments, the stage is now set for some major feuds going forward. In this article we will take a look at 5 possible direction after the Premium Live Event.

1. Continued Rivalry and Storyline Development
Jade Cargill is about to make waves, and when she picks up that microphone, the WWE Universe is going to hear her side of the story—raw, unfiltered, and unapologetic. For months, speculation has run wild about her shocking ambush on Naomi and the injury that forced her to vacate one half of the Women’s Tag Team Titles. Everyone’s been quick to paint her as the villain, but what if there’s more to the story?
Naomi—the so-called “Comeback Queen”—has been riding a wave of sympathy ever since Cargill left her battered inside the Elimination Chamber. But was Jade’s attack really as unprovoked as it seemed? There are always two sides to every story, and when the truth finally comes out, Naomi might not be the only one looking like a victim.
Then there’s Bianca Belair. She seemed devastated inside her pod as she watched Jade dismantle Naomi, but was it all just for show? It didn’t take her long to pull herself together—long enough to win the Chamber match and punch her ticket to WrestleMania. Those emotional tears?
Or maybe there’s an even bigger twist waiting in the wings. Keep your eyes on this one, because there’s another sting in the tail coming. And when it lands, it might just change the entire landscape of the women’s division.
2. Individual Character Growth
For weeks, there was speculation in the wrestling world about whether she was legitimately injured, but trusted sources later confirmed the news. This situation presents a compelling opportunity for WWE. While Naomi seems like the obvious choice as Cargill’s attacker, a shocking twist could be turning Bianca Belair instead.
Both Naomi and Belair could benefit from fresh character development, and seeing them align as seasoned veterans against the dominant “newcomer” in Jade Cargill would shake things up. A showdown between Jade and either Naomi or Belair would be a major moment for the women’s division, sparking fan interest. Taking it even further, WWE could turn this into a full-blown three-way rivalry, building toward a high-stakes match worthy of a championship spotlight.
3. Potential Tag Team Reformation or New Alliances
The former AEW star is not the type to take a betrayal lightly, and she sure as hell isn’t the type to let someone else write the narrative of her career.
She’s been a face for years, and this is the ideal opportunity to show just how nasty she can be. Jade going up against the numbers game (at first) vs. Naomi and Belair sounds like must-watch television. Toss Rhea Ripley into the mix, and you’ve got one hell of a tag-team bout for TV before ‘Mania. By then, Jade will have gained some measure of revenge, meaning she can continue warring with Naomi while Ripley vs. Belair takes center stage.
4. Championship Pursuits
There’s a theory floating around that Belair may have had a bigger hand in this than anyone realizes. Did she pull the strings behind the scenes, convincing Naomi to take Jade out of the picture so she could hold onto the Women’s Tag Team Titles a little longer? Did she let Naomi do the dirty work so she could clear her path to WrestleMania without getting her own hands dirty? It’s a question that will linger, especially with the way events have played out since Naomi first aligned herself with Belair.
Let’s rewind to December 13, 2024, on SmackDown. That was the night Naomi stepped up to be Bianca’s new partner, conveniently right after her husband, Jimmy Uso, had been left battered and beaten. Most expected Naomi to be focused on family, but instead, she saw an opportunity and took it. Was that the first sign of a more self-serving side to Naomi? Could it be that she’s been playing a longer game than anyone realized, waiting for the perfect moment to strike and secure her own legacy?
5. Expanding Their Brand Outside of WWE
WWE presumably won’t entertain a heel turn for Rhea so soon after her Judgment Day antics, which means Bianca would have to go bad and explore another side of her character. Longer-term, that could work wonders for the women’s division on SmackDown after April.
Maybe Naomi really was just looking out for herself. Maybe Bianca masterminded the entire situation. Or maybe there’s an even bigger twist waiting in the wings.
Keep your eyes on this one, because there’s another sting in the tail coming. And when it lands, it might just change the entire landscape of the women’s division.
