The road to WrestleMania 42 heated up on the March 6 episode of WWE SmackDown when Rhea Ripley and Jade Cargill finally came face-to-face in the ring and delivered a fiery promo. After winning the Elimination Chamber, Ripley is now set to face Cargill at WrestleMania 42 for the WWE Women’s Championship.
The two stars confronted each other after a week of heated exchanges on social media.
Rhea Ripley Says Jade Cargill’s Body Is Built For Show
Ripley started the segment by calling the WWE Women’s Champion out to the ring. She said she wanted to talk face-to-face instead of going back and forth online. Soon after, the champion Jade Cargill made her entrance.
At first, the conversation seemed respectful. Cargill offered Ripley a handshake and praised what she has achieved in her career.
But the tone changed quickly when Cargill started comparing their physiques. She admitted Ripley is strong, but said she believes her own strength, conditioning, and athletic ability are even better.
“Your arms are big, but hers are bigger. Your legs, they’re muscular, powerful even, but mine are more powerful”. Cargill concluded her remarks by saying, “I am more worthy for the WWE Women’s Champion. And come WrestleMania. I’mma beat the hell out of you, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Because I’m that btich,” Cargill said.
Ripley was not going to stay quiet after that verbal taunt. She admitted that Cargill’s physique is impressive but questioned how much it really matters in the ring.
Rhea Ripley explained that there is a big difference between them. She said Jade Cargill’s body may look good for the “show,” but she trains to handle the physical demands of wrestling. According to Ripley, looks don’t matter much once the bell rings.
“The difference between you and me is your body is built for show, while mine is built for fighting. You work out so you’re more aesthetically pleasing, I work out so my body can survive and thrive within this business,” Ripley said.
Ripley also made it clear that Cargill doesn’t intimidate her and promised that when they face each other at WrestleMania, she is taking the championship.
“So when that bell rings, you can flex all you want. It doesn’t matter because I’m going to fight. And I’m gonna take that title from you and I’m gonna take it with force and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it. Because I’m that bitch,” Ripley asserted.
Although the segment never turned physical, both women finished their final comments, dropped their microphones, and made their statement.
