Steel chair attack sends message before Clash in Italy
Summary
– Jade Cargill dropped Alexa Bliss with Jaded on a steel chair after winning their SmackDown match
– Bliss battled back during the match, but Cargill’s power and timing proved too much
– The attack served as a warning to Rhea Ripley before her title defense at Clash in Italy
Jade Cargill made a violent statement on SmackDown by defeating Alexa Bliss and then adding one more brutal blow after the bell.
Cargill used her strength early, lifting Bliss high over her head with a military press before dropping her hard to the mat. She also stared down Rhea Ripley at ringside, making it clear that her focus was already on the champion.
Bliss took damage to her ribs but found a way back into the match. She avoided a big elbow from Cargill and later hit a DDT that gave her a real chance to turn the fight around.
B-Fab and Michin then interfered behind the referee’s back, cutting down Bliss and creating more chaos at ringside. Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley rushed in to even the odds, clearing out the outside area while Bliss tried to recover.
Bliss went for Twisted Bliss, but Cargill raised her knees at the perfect moment. That mistake gave Cargill the opening she needed. A pump kick followed, and then Jaded sealed the victory.
Cargill was not finished after the match. She grabbed a steel chair while Bliss was still trying to recover. With Rhea and Charlotte briefly away from the ring, Cargill lifted Bliss again and planted her with Jaded onto the chair.
The attack felt like a direct warning to Rhea Ripley just 48 hours before Clash in Italy. Cargill showed power, cruelty, and confidence at the worst possible time for the champion.
