Jade Cargill Gives Career-Best Fight At WWE Clash In Italy 2026

Leading up to the WWE Women’s Title Match: WWE Clash in Italy 2026, Jade Cargill had one goal in mind regarding her highly anticipated rematch with Rhea Ripley—revenge!

“I mean, this is about revenge. She came on to SmackDown thinking that she can run our show,” revealed the 33-year-old American professional wrestler on ESPN’s morning sports talk show Get Up ahead of the big fight on Sunday (May 31). “Who are you? You’re someone on Raw. I didn’t appreciate that she came in full speed. And the fact that our locker room could let her just skip the line was just an embarrassment.”

Determined to get payback for Ripley’s abrupt takeover of WWE’s Friday Night SmackDown, Cargill faced off against the defending WWE Women’s Championship holder in the Inalpi Arena in Turin, Italy, which has a maximum capacity of 16,600 people, in hopes of taking home the belt.

Both juggernauts went blow for blow in an edge-of-your-seat scrap with Cargill appearing to be on the verge of victory several times.

“Credit to Cargill, who, clearly did her homework,” remarked one of the fight’s commentators, adding, “She’s had multiple counters ready for just about everything Rhea has attempted tonight.”

But unfortunately, with the “help” (insert bombastic side eye) of fellow fighter Charlotte Flair, Ripley secured the win, once again taking home the blinged-out belt.

Despite Cargill’s devastating loss, the Florida native gave a valiant effort and earned the respect of both fans and naysayers, with many applauding her impressive performance and noting her growth since debuting at the 2024 Royal Rumble.
