In Jade Cargill’s mind, she’s that b****. On the other hand, it seems like the women’s locker room, the WWE Women’s Champion is just a b****. Jade Cargill’s Championship reign has been under criticism for a lack of television Title defenses. However, her backstage demeanor has been a cause of chatter among women’s wrestlers going back to last year. Now, things between the female division have imploded online as Jade Cargill got into a war of words with Rhea Ripley, Chelsea Green, and Piper Niven.
Rhea Ripley Earns WrestleMania Match Against Jade Cargill
While Jade Cargill’s locker room drama dates back to last year, it came to a head following the Elimination Chamber fallout. Rhea Ripley survived the Chamber to earn a WrestleMania Title Match against Jade Cargill.
This build to Jade Cargill vs. Rhea Ripley is starting off hot, at least on X. What may have started off as a misunderstanding led to a fallout that saw the women’s locker room to speak out against Jade Cargill.
Chelsea Green Congratulates Rhea Ripley, Jade Cargill Responds
Chelsea Green reposted a post that touted an impressive Rhea Ripley statistic. The Eradicator is entering her seventh consecutive WrestleMania. Even more impressive, Mami has competed for a Championship at each event.
Rhea Ripley posted this infographic on her feed, stoking the WrestleMania fire. She shared the statistic using Jade Cargill’s trademark saying.
Rhea Ripley gave a tongue in cheek caption:
The leader of The Green Regime shared the same statistic, separate from Rhea Ripley’s post. However, Chelsea Green did share some heartfelt words about Rhea Ripley:
“Rhea is proof that you can be kind, respectful, and the most talented wrestler in the world.”
Chelsea Green giving Rhea Ripley her flowers set off The Eradicator’s WrestleMania opponent. Jade Cargill responded to Chelsea Green’s X post with a scathing clap back.
The Storm caused one by going back and forth with Chelsea Green on X:
As you can see, there’s a lot to unpack here. Chelsea was giving Rhea Ripley a compliment, and Jade Cargill seemingly came out of nowhere, taking offense to Chelsea’s words. There’s no way to confirm Chelsea Green’s intentions. She’s been known to work, even threatening to come at ECW legend Dawn Marie! However, Jade Cargill and Chelsea Green have a heated past.
Chelsea Green and Jade Cargill’s History
Elimination Chamber seems to be a triggering time in Jade Cargill’s rocky WWE career. In 2025, Jade Cargill returned from an undisclosed injury to attack Naomi, revealing that Jimmy Uso’s baby mama was her mysterious attacker.
Jade Cargill’s return was accentuated with a vignette, highlighting her journey back. In the video, she called the WWE locker room “wolves.”
This choice of words apparently irked the first-ever Women’s United States Champion, as she posted a response to Jade Cargill:
Fast forward a year, and Chelsea Green was insinuating that you can be a nice person and get ahead. Based on past instances, Jade Cargill could take that as a dig. However, someone out of the know may just think Chelsea is giving Rhea respect. Either way, Jade’s response set off many responses from the WWE locker room.
Piper Niven Comes for Jade Cargill
Chelsea Green’s Tag Team partner, Piper Niven, is on the sidelines with a career-threatening neck injury. However, the former Tag Team Champion isn’t holding her opinion on Jade Cargill back.
Piper Niven stuck up for Chelsea Green, noting that she never brought up Jade Cargill:
Slaygent P’s shots at Jade Cargill caused another X war. The Women’s Champion supposedly took the high road, telling Piper that she hopes she heals soon, so that Jade could help her get some ring time on TV.
It seems like the former Doudrop took Jade Cargill’s best wishes as a condescending remark. The Scottish Superstar expressed that she would fight Jade Cargill for free. Piper Niven also noted that if she ever heals, she’d have to coordinate with Jade Cargill’s many vacations.
This shot at Jade Cagrill is a callback to Jade’s absence at the end of 2024, leading into her Elimination Chamber 2025 return. No one was sure what Jade’s injury was, but she was stripped of the Tag Team Title. While she was on the mend, there were rumors that Jade Cargill was in Hollywood taking auditions.
Rhea Ripley Responds to Jade Cargill Drama
The WWE locker room and Jade Cargill’s implosion made the internet wonder if this was part of the storyline. However, the #1 contender to Jade’s Title took to social media to set the record straight.
Rhea Ripley posted an Instagram story:
It should be noted that this image is no longer live. The post disappeared before the 24-hour window where stories disappear. So, Rhea Ripley chose to remove the post.
This was probably done at the request of management. After all, they had to step in last year during WrestleMania’s build between Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair. Things went off the rails during that Road to WrestleMania, too. However, this time, there are a lot of people who seem to be affected by Jade Cargill.
WWE Locker Room and Jade Cargill Heat
Jade Cargill’s WWE run has been marred by controversy. There are rumors that some are upset with her for having such a high-profile role while having so few matches. Plus, the mystery surrounding her absence in 2024 and 2025, coupled with rumors of her Hollywood aspirations, has rubbed some other wrestlers the wrong way.
The Women’s Champion has been criticized for not improving from her AEW days. Things with Jade Cargill got even more intense during the Holiday Tour. Both Michin and B-Fab were sent home due to injuries sustained in the ring with The Storm of WWE.
Meanwhile, anyone who watches Unreal on Netflix knows how beloved Rhea Ripley is in the locker room. So, when Rhea first shared the accolades on social media with her quote of “being that b****,” Jade’s response was dismissive, noting that the Elimination Chamber winner was option #2.
Those backstage thought that the response was disrespectful to Rhea Ripley, as well as WrestleMania. It insinuated that Royal Rumble winner Liv Morgan was the superior opponent, subtly hinting that her match against Stephanie Vaquer is more important than Jade Cargill vs. Rhea Ripley.
In addition, her response really pokes holes in WWE Creative and dilutes the Women’s Title. It infers that the Royal Rumble Winner picks the superior Title, which, by default, makes having an Elimination Chamber the following month feel inferior and illogical.
As the drama unfolded, Zelina took to X to share this meme:
Goldie became viral before viral was a thing on Flavor of Love. The group was supposed to make fried chicken for Flavor Flav’s mom, but Hottie just microwaved raw chicken. So, Goldie’s response was meant to break the awkward silence. Zelina’s post got a chuckle among the IWC and the locker room. We wonder if Jade Cargill found Zelina funny!
