The WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill is welcoming a SmackDown newcomer to the show in a unique way.

Jade Cargill has been the WWE Women’s Champion since ending Tiffany Stratton’s 10-month title reign at Saturday Night’s Main Event on November 1st.

Since winning the WWE Women’s Title, Cargill has yet to defend the championship in a televised match, but she has competed in non-televised matches with the gold on the line.

Instead of defending her title, Cargill has been a bullying heel toward other women on SmackDown, like Michin, B-Fab, Chelsea Green, Alba Fyre, and anybody who steps up to her.

During an interview on WWE SmackDown in Buffalo, the WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill was interviewed by Cathy Kelley. Kelley mentioned that Michin suffered a shoulder injury against Cargill, who claimed it was an intentional attack to injure Michin’s shoulder. That is just a storyline thing to make Jade more of an arrogant heel.

Cargill showed no sympathy towards Michin and said that injuries happen. Jordynne Grace approached Jade, saying she has to decide if she wants to sign with SmackDown. Jade said that she should sign somewhere else because this is Jade’s show and she is that bi**h. Jordynne said she’s Jordynne Grace, and Jade is definitely one of those – a bi**h. Grace left. It has been reported that Grace will be on SmackDown, so the rivalry could escalate soon.

Jade Cargill Has An Interesting Nickname For Jordynne Grace

As one of the taller women in WWE, Jade Cargill likes to use her height to intimidate other women in the company. In response to a social media post by Grace, Cargill called her shorter rival an “angry leprechaun.”

Girl…shut your short ass up before I step on you. Chill out angry leprechaun.

Ouch.

As for Michin, she warned Jade Cargill that she was coming for her and mentioned that she has a love for this business, which Cargill does not.
