WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash has shared his thoughts about the women’s locker room in reference to a current champion.

Over the last few weeks, multiple reports have claimed that there is a prevailing rift between several female wrestlers and Jade Cargill.

The reporting around the subject intensified after Cargill got into an argument on X with Rhea Ripley following the latter’s victory at the Elimination Chamber. On their part, WWE higher-ups backed away, stating that Cargill and Ripley’s exchange was ‘not a work.’

It prompted the likes of Chelsea Green and Piper Niven to jump to Ripley’s defense, with Nia Jax also supporting her Australian counterpart from afar.

Even the internet wrestling community jumped on the bandwagon, as a majority of them threw shade toward The Storm.

Speaking on his The Kliq podcast, former WWF/WWE Heavyweight Champion Kevin Nash said the issues between the women may have stemmed from insecurity.

Her confidence seems to intimidate the girls. I think the biggest thing is people started following her on social media, and they saw who her husband was, and they see how she lives outside of wrestling.

Nash even noted that Jade Cargill’s impressive physique could have shaped perceptions of her, citing his own example.

Plus, I mean, the first time I saw her in person, I was just like, ‘Holy f***,’ because she’s much bigger than you think she’s going to be. She’s like 5’10. [H/T: Ringside News]

Jade Cargill Takes Out Rhea Ripley On WWE SmackDown

Since Rhea Ripley began appearing on WWE SmackDown, she has had multiple confrontations with Jade Cargill, but none of them were physical.

That all changed on March 20, when both of them came face-to-face again.

As she did last week, Ripley challenged Cargill to take the first shot, but the 33-year-old jumped out of the ring. Michin and B-Fab arrived soon, blocking Cargill’s way to the back.

However, in a shocking turn of events, they stood beside Cargill and attacked Ripley. Cargill ended the segment by hitting her Jaded finisher on her WrestleMania opponent.
