• Health Update On Jade Cargill After SmackDown Accident
Tiffany Stratton defended the WWE Women’s Championship in a Triple-Threat Match against Jade Cargill and Nia Jax in the main event of last week’s SmackDown.
The match featured a few botches, and one of them was Nia Jax driving Jade Cargill into the steel steps head first. This left Cargill bloody and the medical team immediately rushed to check on her.
According to PWInsider, the word making the rounds on this week’s RAW was that Cargill only needed stitches to close the huge gash and didn’t need to undergo plastic surgery. The hope internally is that she could be cleared to wrestle within a few weeks.
There’s no sign that the former Women’s Tag Team Champion has been pulled from the road.
• Original Plan For The Botched Pinfall On SmackDown
There was another huge botch during the 3-way WWE Women’s Title match when Stratton pinned Jax and the referee stopped her count, despite Jax not kicking out.
According to Fightful Select, sources indicated that Stratton arrived late to break up Cargill’s pin on Nia, forcing Jax to kick out instead. It’s unclear why the referee didn’t count the three for Stratton later on, as that was said to be the planned finish. Internal WWE accounts of the situation vary, and the details remain unclear.
A fan on X suggested that Stratton was supposed to steal the win after Cargill hit Jax with the Eye of the Storm. According to the fan, that was where the match was originally meant to end, but the WWE Women’s Champion being late in driving Cargill out of the ring caused the botched pinfall and forced the finish to be changed.
“Tiffany was late to break up the pin. She was supposed to push Jade out and STEAL the win and that was the end of the match. They’ve done similar finishes at house shows.”
It appears that The Buff Barbie pushing Cargill out of the ring to secure the victory was indeed the planned finish, as Cargill herself liked the tweet making that claim.
Below is a screenshot which shows Cargill’s like on the tweet:
It’s possible that the referee assumed Nia was going to kick out of Tiffany’s pinfall too, because she kicked out of Jade’s pinfall just seconds earlier. However, it looks like Nia went with the original finish.
• Man Enters Reby Hardy’s Property & Threatens To Shoot Her (Video)
Former TNA star Reby Hardy, wife of Matt Hardy, shared a video on Instagram and posted the following:
“This psycho was staked out in front of my house, called me a slur, and then threatened to SHOOT ME for asking what he was doing on my property.”
She also shared the screenshot of a comment from YouTube and questioned if it’s the same man:
“As someone who lived in the same town of them, I can personally say Reby is a c**t to everyone. She just an entitled racist pos who only cares about herself. It’s strange the entire city loves Matt but all of us hate that c**t with a passion.”
Reby wrote the following in her post caption:
“Touch grass if you think this is ok”
Matt Hardy replied:
“It’s NEVER ok”
Reby also wrote the following on her IG story:
“I will NEVER be nice to anyone who isn’t nice to me. I will NOT show respect to someone who doesn’t show me respect. Keep that in mind & consider the source when these ‘locals’ who constantly overstep boundaries & put my kids safety in danger come out the woodwork. These are not fans. These are entitled weirdos with no boundaries. You’re right I AM NOT one of you. I WILL NOT turn the other cheek. I don’t play your stupid *bless your heart* sneak diss game & I will not be your doormat.
FAFO”
