With WrestleMania 42 plans being up within the air as a result of WWE being dissatisfied with ticket sales for the event to this point, the creative direction for a lot of title holders inside the company stays uncertain, especially for WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill.
Cargill won her first world title at the start of November at WWE Saturday Night’s Important Event, but has not defended the title since then, having wrestled just over quarter-hour on TV within the last three months. Now, in accordance with a brand new report from “Wrestlevotes Radio on Fightful Select,” WWE has yet to determine who will challenge Cargill for the title at WrestleMania 42. Thus far, names reminiscent of Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair have been discussed as potential challengers, but there has reportedly been several ideas pitched for Cargill’s title defence on the “Grandest Stage Of Them All.”
On tonight’s edition of “WWE SmackDown,” Cargill’s championship will probably be on the road for the primary time since Saturday Night’s Important Event as Jordynne Grace looks to win her first title on the principal roster. In two weeks, WWE will hold the Elimination Chamber in Chicago, Illinois, where the winners of each the boys’s and ladies’s cage matches will challenge for a world title at WrestleMania 42. At the moment, it’s expected that the winner of the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble, Liv Morgan, will challenge Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer, meaning whoever emerges victorious at Elimination Chamber will likely fight Cargill.
