Jade Cargill enters the 2026 season as the standard-bearer for Friday Night SmackDown. After a historic coronation as the first Black woman to win the WWE Queen of the Ring in 2025, Cargill reached the mountaintop by capturing the WWE Women’s Championship on November 1.

The “Storm” has been unstoppable in 2026. Following a dominant win over Chelsea Green in January, Cargill showcased her versatility by teaming with her rival **Jordynne Grace** to defeat Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez on February 6. This alliance of powerhouses set the stage for a champion vs. champion clash on February 13, where Cargill successfully defended her dominance over Grace in a hard-hitting 10-minute battle.

Cargill’s legacy in WWE is inextricably linked to her “super-team” partnership with Bianca Belair, a duo that dominated the tag team division throughout 2024 and 2025. Her singles ascent is defined by her hard-hitting series with Asuka and her technical war with Tiffany Stratton. As she transitions from a queen to a reigning monarch on the official roster, Cargill remains the undisputed final boss of the women’s division.

Standing at 5’10” with elite athletic conditioning, Jade Cargill utilizes a powerhouse style that emphasizes total physical control. Her signature finisher, Jaded (a sit-out double underhook facebuster), is one of the most protected maneuvers in the company today.

In 2026, Cargill has integrated a more methodical pacing into her championship matches, utilizing her size to ground high-flyers and neutralize technical specialists. Whether defending her crown or making a statement backstage, Jade Cargill continues to prove that she isn’t just a part of the show—she is the spotlight.
