In a stunning revelation that has sent shockwaves through the WWE Universe, Naomi has finally broken her silence about why she attacked Jade Cargill on Monday Night RAW last year. The former SmackDown Women’s Champion addressed the situation in an exclusive interview, admitting that her actions were not as impulsive as they seemed at the time.
Fans still recall the shocking moment when Naomi ambushed Jade Cargill in the middle of the ring during a heated segment on RAW. Cargill, who had recently made her WWE debut after an impressive run in AEW, was delivering a promo when Naomi stormed down the ramp and took her out with a vicious assault. The attack led to weeks of speculation, with many believing it was part of a larger WWE storyline. However, Naomi’s recent comments have shed new light on the real reason behind her actions.
During an appearance on a popular wrestling podcast, Naomi finally addressed the controversial attack, revealing that personal and professional frustrations led her to target Cargill. According to Naomi, she had been feeling overlooked in WWE at the time and saw Cargill’s arrival as a threat to her own position within the women’s division.
“I won’t lie; there was a lot of frustration building up inside me,” Naomi admitted. “I had been working hard, showing up every night, and still felt like I wasn’t getting the opportunities I deserved. Then Jade came in, and suddenly, all eyes were on her. She’s incredibly talented, and I respect that, but at that moment, I let my emotions get the best of me.”
Naomi further explained that she believed Cargill’s push was happening at the expense of women who had been loyal to WWE for years, including herself.
Rumors of tension between Naomi and Cargill have circulated for months, with reports suggesting that the two had heated exchanges backstage following the attack. Sources close to WWE revealed that while both women have since moved on, there was real animosity at the time.
“I regret how I handled it,” Naomi continued. “Jade and I have talked, and I’ve apologized for taking my frustrations out on her in that way. But at the same time, I think it’s important for everyone to understand that competition in WWE is real. We all want to be the best, and sometimes, emotions run high.”
Since the incident, both Naomi and Jade Cargill have gone on to have successful runs in WWE. Cargill has continued to establish herself as a dominant force in the company, while Naomi has had a resurgence, proving that she still belongs at the top.
With this revelation, fans are now wondering if WWE will revisit the rivalry and give them the proper in-ring feud that was cut short. Given the real-life history between the two, a showdown on a grand stage like WrestleMania or SummerSlam could be a blockbuster attraction.
One thing is certain—this shocking revelation has reignited interest in Naomi and Jade Cargill’s unfinished business, and the WWE Universe will be watching closely to see what happens next.
