Jade Cargill, Shayna Baszler had WWE backstage conflict before Cargill’s injury

Jade Cargill is said to have rubbed some people the wrong way backstage in WWE.

Meltzer continued:

The last time Cargill and Baszler were in the ring together was the battle royal on the November 3 episode of Raw in Saudi Arabia. They also had several matches last summer as Cargill and Bianca Belair feuded with the Pure Vision Collective, including a triple threat match with The Unholy Union at Clash at the Castle.
