Jade Cargill’s Cryptic Blood-Smeared Photo Explained

Jade Cargill had fans speculating with a cryptic, blood-smeared photo she posted on Twitter on December 23. The chilling image, showing Jade’s face streaked with blood, had no caption—but it left an impression. Now, thanks to Dave Meltzer’s latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, we have some clarity.

According to Meltzer, the belief is that the photo was posted to “show that her injuries that have kept her out of action are legit.” This revelation sheds light on why the powerhouse star has been absent from the ring and replaced in the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship picture.

The drama began on the December 13 episode of WWE SmackDown, when Jade’s tag partner, Bianca Belair, was forced to find a replacement after a backstage attack sidelined Cargill. Naomi stepped in, with General Manager Nick Aldis approving the move to keep the titles active. While the switch reinvigorated the championship scene, it also left fans questioning the identity of Jade’s attacker—and when she might return.

Reports suggest Jade could be out for several months, but the photo hints that her story is far from over. Fans are already speculating whether Jade will return seeking vengeance or as an even more dominant force in WWE’s women’s division.

Jade Cargill knows how to keep fans talking, and this latest move has only added to the intrigue surrounding her WWE future. Whether she’s gearing up for a dramatic comeback or simply setting the stage for her next big moment, one thing’s for sure—when Jade returns, it’s going to be explosive.
