Jade Cargill injury switches tag team division

Will likely result in WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles being vacated

According to WrestleVotes, WWE appears poised to vacate the Women’s Tag Team Championship due to Jade Cargill’s injury. With Cargill and Bianca Belair unable to defend their titles within the required time frame, forfeiting the championship seems to be the logical step.

It’s not ideal, but there are benefits to going this route. First, it allows other teams to compete for gold, adding new energy to the division. Second, it protects both Cargill and Belair from losses at a time when Belair, “The EST of WWE,” appears to be poised for a significant singles push.

The move allows WWE to shine a spotlight on the person who attacked Cargill and ensure that the consequences of that attack were devastating. When Cargill comes back, she and Belair will have a real problem depending on how the plot develops. By removing the tag titles from the equation, WWE is ensuring that this mysterious aspect doesn’t overshadow the importance of the championships.

There have been cases where WWE kept someone’s title even though they couldn’t defend it, but the women’s division is so crowded that that doesn’t make sense in this scenario.

Talk about Alexa Bliss’ return backstage

Is she getting closer?

In an update from PWInsider, there’s been a lot of talk about Alexa Bliss in WWE creative circles lately. Initial reports suggest she could return at Christmas time, and an update to the website says nothing has changed. In fact, they note that WWE Creative is currently working on scenarios of how Bliss would return to storylines and where she would fit in.

PWInsider has spoken to sources who believe the hope is that WWE will have Alexa Bliss back on the team by WrestleMania season.

Eddie Kingston’s AEW return delayed until mid-2025

He will stay out the rest of the year

Fans hoping to see Eddie Kingston back on the AEW program will have to wait a while.

The proposed schedule coincides with AEW’s All In: Texas, the company’s main event next summer. If Kingston makes his comeback in time for the pay-per-view, it would be a boost for the company.

Kingston has been sidelined since undergoing surgery over the summer for a broken tibia, torn ACL and torn meniscus. Despite the lengthy recovery process, he has reportedly been “zealously” pursuing physiotherapy in the hope of an sooner return.
