With Rhea Ripley and Jade Cargill exchanging some heated back-and-forths on social media as soon as Mami won big at Elimination Chamber last weekend to earn herself a shot at Jade's WWE Women's Title at WrestleMania 42, it appears that there is some genuine heat on Cargill behind the scenes.

Per WrestleVotes on Fightful Select, Jade Cargill was described as "not everyone's favourite talent" when it comes to her peers, and a couple of sources have indicated that there's heat towards Jade. It was also suggested that Cargill obviously is presented as a star and has been put in some major spots, but that it could rub some members of the women's roster the wrong way in how Jade's ability may not match up to that status. It was later mentioned how talent has noticed the trend of wrestlers being injured during matches with her - Michin, B-Fab, and Tiffany Stratton being three recent examples - and that has been talked about in the locker room.

Rhea Ripley has taken to Instagram to continue her shots at Jade Cargill, with Bodyslam.net's Cory Hays adding that any issues between Rhea and Jade "was never a work".

And it's not just Rhea Ripley taking shots at Jade Cargill, for Piper Niven - currently on the sidelines due to neck issues - likewise made her thoughts clear on Jade.

It could well be that this is all just a way to drum up further tension between Rhea Ripley and Jade Cargill ahead of their WrestleMania 42 match-up, but it certainly sounds as if Jade isn't the most popular of people with some of her co-workers right now.
