It's pretty clear that either Naomi or Bianca Belair will be revealed as Jade Cargill's mystery attacker. That sudden plot line wrote Jade off TV in November 2024, and Naomi has since replaced her as one half of the reigning Women's Tag-Team Champs alongside Bianca. The way she put herself forward so confidently has many fans scratching their chins and wondering if Naomi was behind the injury.

She should be. Belair has teased going heel a few times here or there over the past 18 months or so, but Naomi's company career badly needs a jolt. She hasn't been heel for a long, long time, and it'd be fun to see what she could do as a wicked antagonist to the likes of Bianca and Cargill. Also, Naomi ultimately bumping around for Jade is exactly the kind of situation Cargill needs to help her confidence as a singles worker grow in the long run.

WWE's creative team can have Belair side with Naomi longer term if they wish. Jealousy would be the key aspect in that plot point, but it's vitally important Bianca doesn't upstage Naomi's heel turn. That has to stand proudly as an uptick during her second stint with the promotion. She deserves the chance to show a different side to her work, after all.

There's no word yet on a definitive return date for Jade, but she's a physical freak of nature who might pull a John Cena and come back earlier than expected. If so, then Naomi going rogue would be some story for SmackDown's midcard during 'Mania season.
