Jade Cargills nasty injury during WWE SmackDown might keep her out of the ring for a little whiledespite the initial relief that the damage wasnt as bad as it looked. A backstage update confirms the cut above her left eyebrow required stitches, not plastic surgery, but theres still a chance she wont be wrestling this week.
During her triple threat match with Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton, Cargill was driven face-first into the steel steps by Jax. The impact split her open immediately, and ringside medics jumped in as blood poured down her face. Fans later saw footage of her being helped to the back, towel over her face, clearly shaken but still walking under her own power.
Earlier reports indicated that the cut needed stitches but wasnt deep enough to require surgery. Internally, that was considered a big win. However, Fightful Select has now revealed WWE may not rush her back into the ring right away.
While Cargill stayed professional throughout the ordeal, the injury wasnt the only hiccup in the match. Sources also confirmed that Tiffany Stratton was late in breaking up Cargills pin attempt on Nia Jax, which forced Jax to kick out unexpectedly.
Its unclear how long Cargill might be out, but fans shouldnt expect her in the ring this week. For now, WWE is taking a cautious approach and giving her the time she needs to heal. One things for sureshe proved shes as tough as they come.
Do you think WWE should pull Jade from in-ring action until shes fully healed? Or should they keep her on TV in a non-wrestling role while she recovers? Sound off in the comments and let us know what you think.
