Former WWE broadcaster Jonathan Coachman says reigning Women's Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill do not get along backstage.

Coachman claimed as much on his podcast, the Coach and Bro Show, on Backstage Pass. Belair and Cargill, according to Coachman's sources, have alleged issues stemming from Bianca ultimately being asked to give Jade the rub and Belair making her own gear, while Cargill does not.

Said Coachman:

"I've also heard that Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair do not get along at all. This is from reliable sources, they don't get along... Bianca's already been in the main event, so you're asking her to give somebody the rub. Of course she's gonna be pissed off. She makes her own gear and Jade doesn't make her own gear... do you see how that could lead to something?"

In and out of WWE since 1999, Coachman's last run with the promotion ended in 2021, having been brought in as a commentator and pre-show panel host three years prior. He was most prominent between 1999 and 2008, when the market leaders used the now 51-year-old extensively as a backstage interviewer, commentator, assistant authority figure, and interim General Manager.

Beyond professional wrestling, Coachman has worked as a broadcaster for ESPN, NBC Sports, and CBS Sports.

Jade Cargill & Bianca Belair: Rumors Of Backstage Tension

If Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair don't get along backstage, they do an excellent job of hiding it onscreen. The duo have excellent chemistry and their partnership is highly televisual. In the ring, too, they have crafted a formula that works for both women, with Belair typically playing a face-in-peril role building towards Cargill's hot tags, though they have switched these roles up as well.

Cargill and Belair have also had a positive impact on the long-neglected Women's Tag Team Title scene, which has never been WWE's deepest. While those concerns remain, the duo's two reigns have at least increased the titles' visibility and presence, even if the long-term direct likely involves a betrayal and singles feud.

Cumulatively, Belair and Cargill had held WWE's Women's Tag Team Titles for 115 days at the time of writing. Their current reign started upon dethroning the Unholy Union at Bash in Berlin (31 August), and has encompassed successful defences against the Judgment Day, Damage CTRL, Meta Girls, and Piper Niven and Chelsea Green.
