Jade Cargill out of action with injury

Jade Cargill is out of action.

Dave Metlzer is reporting that Cargill being written out of storylines on SmackDown was to cover for an actual injury. It isn’t known how severe the injury is.

“We did get confirmation that Cargill is injured but the severity wasn’t known internally past those involved in creative were told it will be a minimum of three months out, maybe longer, which is why they released the story of such severe injuries,” Meltzer wrote in the Sunday Daily Update.

Friday’s show in Salt Lake City saw Cargill being shown unconscious after she was seemingly thrown into a windshield backstage. WWE later posted a social media update announcing that Cargill had suffered a number of injuries, including “deep lumbar paraspinal muscle contusions, a bruised kidney, a sprained MCL in her right knee, a tibial plateau bone bruise of her right knee, and facial lacerations.”

Cargill was originally set to be part of the Women’s WarGames match set for Survivor Series this weekend. She will instead be replaced ahead of the match.
