Update on Jade Cargill Creative Plans This Summer

A storm looks to be approaching both Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Jade Cargill is no longer the WWE Women's Champion, but she is set to be featured prominently on Friday Night SmackDown as WWE inches closer to its next two Premium Live Events.

It was reported last week that the creative team was discussing a potential Jade Cargill versus Charlotte Flair match during SummerSlam weekend this August, and recent events on-screen are certainly steering both women in that direction.

The insiders over at TRNBCKL, who used to be affiliated with BodySlam and have a reputation for accurate reporting, have now heard similar when it comes to a future Cargill/Flair singles match.

"Sources close to WWE have noted to TRNBCKL that Charlotte Flair vs. Jade Cargill has been under heavy consideration as of late from creative to take place at this year's upcoming two night SummerSlam event," their report said Friday afternoon.

TRNBCKL noted that a match between The Queen and The Storm has long been on WWE's radar, dating all the way back to when they first crossed paths in the fall of 2023.

Before that epic encounter can take place, both Cargill has other business that needs tending.

Jade Cargill is next in line for Tiffany Stratton's Women's United States Championship

The Queen and King of the Ring Tournament finals will take place on Saturday, June 27 at Night of Champions. Oba Femi and Jey Uso will meet in the men's bracket, while Women's World Champion Liv Morgan will face IYO SKY on the women's side of things. The winners of their respective crowns will then move on to challenge the world champion of their choosing at SummerSlam.

Charlotte Flair and Jade Cargill were both entered into the Queen of the Ring, but neither was able to advance to the finals. The Queen had her opportunity on this week's episode of WWE SmackDown, but a pre-match assault by Cargill, Michin and B-Fab ultimately led to submission victory for Liv Morgan.

Flair left Kansas City with a pretty significant (kayfabed) knee injury, while Cargill walked out the new No. 1 Contender for the Women's United States Championship. Something TRNBCKL reported was likely to happen earlier in the day on Friday.

"It was also quietly noted to TRNBCKL that Jade Cargill is said to be challenging Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women's United States Championship at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia next weekend, " TRNBCKL added in their report.

Stratton replaced the injured Rhea Ripley on the official poster for Night of Champions, which led many to believe that she'd be competing on the show.

With Stratton and Cargill now official for Night of Champions, this will be the first time that the Women's United States Championship is defended on a PLE in its history. Time will tell who walks into SummerSlam with the gold around their waist.
