Closing In: Narrowing Down Suspects for Jade Cargill’s Attacker

The storyline surrounding Jade Cargill’s mysterious attacker has captivated WWE fans, particularly with the recent developments at Elimination Chamber 2025. After months of speculation, Cargill’s dramatic return and her attack on Naomi have reignited this “whodunnit” mystery, setting the stage for a major reveal as WrestleMania 41 approaches.

The Mystery

The Case Against Naomi

Jade Cargill’s attack on Naomi at Elimination Chamber strongly suggests that she believes Naomi was behind the ambush that sidelined her in November 2024. The two were former tag team champions, but Naomi stepped in as Bianca Belair’s partner during Cargill’s absence, capturing the titles. This could provide a motive, as Naomi gained significantly from Cargill’s injury.

However, Naomi has denied involvement, and her stretcher exit after Cargill’s assault complicates the narrative. WWE commentators and analysts have speculated that this attack might lead to a feud between the two, potentially culminating at WrestleMania.

Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez: Red Herrings?

Initially, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez were prime suspects due to cell phone footage showing them near the scene of the attack. They vehemently denied involvement but also made cryptic comments that fueled suspicion. While their proximity to the incident raised eyebrows, most signs now point to them being red herrings in this storyline.

Bianca Belair: The Hidden Culprit?

Bianca Belair emerges as a compelling suspect despite her current trajectory toward a WrestleMania title match. As Cargill’s former tag team partner and one-half of their dominant run as champions, Belair had much to lose when Cargill was injured.

Speculation suggests that Belair may have orchestrated the attack to replace Cargill with Naomi, who helped her maintain championship success during Cargill’s absence. Adding intrigue is Belair’s reaction at Elimination Chamber—she expressed confusion and a desire for answers but avoided directly addressing the possibility of her own involvement.

If Belair is revealed as the attacker, it could set up a blockbuster match against Cargill at WrestleMania 41. Such a feud would pit two of WWE’s most dominant athletes against each other in a clash of power and prestige.

Booking Challenges

The primary complication with Belair being revealed as the attacker lies in her current storyline. She won the Women’s Elimination Chamber match and is set to face either Rhea Ripley or Iyo Sky for the Women’s World Championship at WrestleMania.

For this twist to work, WWE would need to rework its plans and disregard the stipulation attached to the Women’s Elimination Chamber match—but we’ve seen stranger things happen during WrestleMania season.

Other Possibilities

WWE could also introduce an unexpected twist by revealing someone completely out of left field as the attacker. This would preserve Naomi’s innocence and avoid disrupting Belair’s championship storyline while keeping fans guessing.

Conclusion: The Likely Path Forward

While Naomi remains the most obvious suspect based on recent events, Bianca Belair stands out as the more intriguing choice for storytelling purposes.

A heel turn by Belair leading to a high-stakes match against Jade Cargill at WrestleMania would elevate both superstars and provide one of the marquee moments of the event.

For now, all eyes are on tonight’s episode of Raw and how this mystery unfolds on the road to WrestleMania 41.
