Jade Cargill returns to WWE SmackDown.

At WrestleMania 42, Jade Cargill lost the WWE Women’s Title to Rhea Ripley. She then disappeared from WWE programming.

On the 5/8 edition of WWE SmackDown, Rhea Ripley teamed up with Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss against The Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley & Lainey Reid). Towards the end of the bout, Cargill made an appearance and tripped Ripley off the ropes.
