WWE Playing Up Jade Cargill-Rhea Ripley ‘Shoot’ Heat Before SmackDown Faceoff

After Ripley won Elimination Chamber, Cargill’s X shots about “influence” drew replies from Ripley and even Chelsea Green, and Piper Niven. Dave Meltzer reports WWE is “trying to make it out like it’s a shoot…to get heat,” comparing it to past Cargill-Baszler back-and-forth. The champ has one defense since November, and they meet on SmackDown Friday in Vegas, WrestleMania build.
