OK, so this might need to happen after Jade Cargill's Women’s Title loss to Tiffany Stratton on SummerSlam Saturday. During her entrance, Cargill was very vocally talking about how fans “love me”, and it was decidedly heelish. Her whole deal is self-confidence mixed with little bits of inexperience inside the ring when it counts, of course, but she doesn’t have much to do as a babyface anymore.

Going heel and feuding with a returning Bianca Belair sounds like the way to go.

Recent reports say Bianca is on the comeback trail and could be reintroduced on the episode of SmackDown immediately following this past weekend's PLE. She'll return to a lot of fanfare and cheers from the live crowd, and the 'EST' might well lay out her intentions to challenge Stratton for the belt long-term. That's when Jade can hit the ring all smiles, welcome her buddy back, then...BOOM!

Naturally, there should be some frost between them anyway. The pair weren't exactly buddy-buddy during that whole adventure with Naomi right as the reigning Women's World Champ turned heel, so it'd be foolish to ignore some of that coldness here. Yep, have Belair ask what Cargill wants before Jade talks her down and gets Bianca to lower her guard.

Cargill becoming a KO-esque heel who thinks she's totally justified for lashing out at old pals should work a treat. Again, there's simply nothing left for Jade to do on the good side of the fence. A character as ambitious as her shouldn't be content with seeing her dreams go up in smoke.

Warring with her ex-tag partner would elevate Cargill further and give her more reps in-ring against a world class worker.
