Jade Cargill has been in the news for all the wrong reasons.

Cargill’s latest online feud with her WWE WrestleMania 42 challenger, Rhea Ripley, saw some of her peers turn on her and unite in support of the Australian megastar.

Meanwhile, sources within the company have claimed they have nothing to do with the feud, further believing that their personal jibes have piqued fans’ interest.

On a recent episode of The Coach & Bro podcast, Vince Russo and Jonathan Coachman addressed their recent social media exchange while answering a user’s query that spoke about Cargill’s earlier backstage feud with Bianca Belair.

I told you, guys, when she came over, I was driving back from Wine Country when I got the call about them not getting along. And what did everybody say, Vince? “You’re an idiot. You don’t know anything.” They broke them up a week later or two weeks later. Bianca did not like working with her. She made her own gear. Jade had somebody make it for her. They couldn’t agree. That’s a fact. [1:27:53 onwards]

Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill were tag partners in 2024, during which they won the Women’s Tag Team Championship twice.

WWE Unbothered By Jade Cargill-Rhea Ripley Feud

Two top superstars feuding publicly should have sounded alarms in WWE.

However, the company’s higher-ups remain unbothered by the Jade Cargill-Rhea Ripley feud that occurred online a few days ago.

Instead, they believe that the two women are working professionals and are capable of conducting themselves in a way that would not bring them or the promotion any disrepute.

The March 6 taping of WWE SmackDown saw both superstars come face-to-face for the first time since the Elimination Chamber.

Fans immediately expected sparks to fly, but the wrestlers never addressed their online feud in their allotted time. It remains to be seen whether the promotion capitalizes on their real-life feud or lets it vanish into thin air.
