A WWE superstar has reacted to a surprising heel turn that took place on SmackDown.

The rivalry between WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill and her WrestleMania opponent Rhea Ripley took another turn on SmackDown in Raleigh.

After Jade Cargill told Rhea Ripley that she didn’t need the WWE Women’s Title, Ripley wanted to fight Cargill right there, but Cargill refused and said she would do it on her own time.

When it looked like Cargill was about to leave, SmackDown wrestlers B-Fab and MIchin showed up, and Michin had a kendo stick with her. Even though Michin and B-Fab had issues with Cargill in the past, they were on the same page here because they joined Cargill in attacking Ripley.

Ripley was all alone as Michin and B-Fab beat up Ripley using a kendo stick that Michin had. B-Fab and Michin held Ripley, so Jade hit a superkick. Jade hit Jaded on Ripley. Jade and her new friends, Michin and B-Fab, stood tall to end the segment.

Michin Uses Inspiring Quote To Explain Her Actions On WWE SmackDown

In a post on X/Twitter, Michin (Big Meech) used an inspiring quote to explain her actions.

If you can’t be a good example, at least be a horrible warning – Aileen Wuornos

There was some foreshadowing about B-Fab and Michin turning heel. In recent weeks on SmackDown, Jade Cargill was seen talking to B-Fab in the background, so that was a tease that perhaps Jade could work with Michin and B-Fab as allies, instead of being enemies.

WrestleMania 42 is four weeks away on April 18 & 19 in Las Vegas, so Rhea Ripley has some time to get her hands on Michin and B-Fab before WrestleMania takes place. The Cargill, Michin and B-Fab stable doesn’t have a name yet, but that could be announced soon.

The next WWE PLE is WrestleMania 42 on April 18 & April 19 in Las Vegas. Here’s the lineup so far:

  • WWE World Heavyweight Championship: CM Punk (c) vs. Roman Reigns
  • WWE Undisputed Championship: Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Randy Orton
  • WWE Women’s World Championship: Stephanie Vaquer (c) vs. Liv Morgan
  • WWE Women’s Championship: Jade Cargill (c) vs. Rhea Ripley
  • Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar

There will be more matches added in the weeks ahead.

WrestleMania 42 will STREAM LIVE Saturday, April 18, and Sunday, April 19, 2026, at 6 p.m. ET / 3 p.m. PT on ESPN in the United States and Netflix everywhere else.
