Jade Cargill Wins WWE Women’s Championship, Fires Back at Critics

Jade Cargill captured the WWE Women’s Championship at the November 1 Saturday Night’s Main Event by decisively defeating Tiffany Stratton, ending Stratton’s 302-day reign. This victory marked Cargill’s first singles title in WWE, complementing her prior success as a two-time Women’s Tag Team Champion and Queen of the Ring winner. Following her win, Cargill boldly addressed her doubters on social media, emphasizing that “gold looks better on me” and demanding respect. WWE reportedly aimed to establish Cargill as a dominant heel champion, with a match finish likened to Brock Lesnar’s 2014 SummerSlam destruction, and she may take time off soon despite the title win. The win also coincided with other former AEW stars’ successes, including CM Punk’s World Heavyweight Championship victory, highlighting WWE’s embrace of talent from rival promotions. Cargill’s aggressive heel turn and dominance signal a new era for the SmackDown women’s division, though fans remain curious about potential challengers and the championship’s future trajectory.
