Jade Cargill will be sidelined following last week’s episode of WWE SmackDown, where she was left incapacitated on top of a vehicle.
The assailant’s identity remains undisclosed, as the storyline revolves around a mystery attacker.
As we previously reported here on eWn, Cargill’s removal from storylines was to account for a legitimate injury. However, the exact extent of the injury remains unclear.
What is known is that Cargill will be sidelined for at least three months, possibly longer.
On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that the details of the actual injury are being kept confidential.
Meltzer said, “They almost have to be [stripped of women’s tag team titles]. I was told, three months minimum. The other thing is, whatever the actual injury is, is being kept very secret. I’ve heard from several in the company who are aware of the injury. And they say, not only do they not know what the injury is, but people who are very close to her don’t even know what the injury is, but it is an injury. For whatever reason you know what the actual injury is it is not well known.”
Bryan Alvarez added, “They had a list of about 95 different things that they had diagnosed her with in storyline, and one of them, I believe, was a torn meniscus. And I would not be surprised if that was the injury, only, because that is like, a minimum three months. And depending on the severity …..it could be longer, it could be three months. I don’t know why that would be a big secret.”
As WWE gears up for Survivor Series this Saturday, the company is also preparing to crown the inaugural WWE Women’s United States Champion at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Cargill was expected to participate in the Women’s WarGames match and the tournament. Her absence has affected both occasions.
