The WWE Universe is reeling from a bombshell revelation that has turned the women’s division upside down. On the April 1, 2025, episode of WWE SmackDown, Naomi dropped a stunning accusation, claiming that Bianca Belair was the mastermind behind the brutal attack on Jade Cargill that sidelined her for months. This explosive development, following weeks of tension and betrayal, has shattered the once-unbreakable bond of the “Big Three” and set the stage for a dramatic showdown as WrestleMania 41 approaches.
The saga began in November 2024, when Cargill was mysteriously attacked backstage on SmackDown, leaving her out of action for over three months. Suspicion initially fell on Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, but Cargill’s return at Elimination Chamber in March 2025 revealed Naomi as the culprit.

However, Naomi’s latest revelation has flipped the narrative entirely. During a heated in-ring segment on SmackDown, Naomi, still reeling from her ongoing feud with Cargill, turned her attention to Belair, who is set to challenge for the Women’s World Championship at WrestleMania 41. “You want to act like you’re innocent, Bianca? You’re the one who told me to do it!” Naomi shouted, her voice dripping with venom. She claimed that Belair, feeling threatened by Cargill’s rapid rise in WWE, orchestrated the attack to remove her as a rival. Naomi alleged that Belair manipulated her into carrying out the assault, promising that it would secure their spot as the top tag team in the division. “I took the fall for you, and now you’re leaving me to deal with Jade while you chase glory at WrestleMania? You’re a liar and a coward!” Naomi added, leaving the crowd in stunned silence.
Belair, visibly shaken, denied the accusations, insisting that Naomi was trying to drag her down out of spite. “I had nothing to do with this! You admitted you attacked Jade because you were jealous—don’t put this on me!” Belair fired back, her voice cracking with emotion. The confrontation escalated when Cargill entered the fray, staring daggers at Belair before turning her attention to Naomi, delivering a vicious Jaded finisher that left Naomi motionless in the ring. As Cargill stood over Naomi, she locked eyes with Belair, her expression a mix of betrayal and fury, hinting that she might believe Naomi’s claims.
This shocking twist has added a new layer of complexity to an already volatile situation. Posts on X reflect the divided sentiment among fans, with some believing Naomi’s accusations, citing Belair’s competitive nature and the timing of Cargill’s attack as suspicious. Others argue that Naomi is fabricating the story to deflect blame, pointing to her heel turn and history of resentment toward Cargill as evidence of her unreliability. The lack of concrete proof—such as video evidence or corroborating witnesses—leaves the truth murky, but the emotional weight of the accusation has undeniably fractured the trust between the three women.
Critically examining the situation, it’s worth questioning whether Naomi’s claims hold water. Belair has been portrayed as a babyface throughout her career, known for her integrity and leadership in the women’s division. Her bond with Cargill and Naomi, forged during their time as the “Big Three” at WrestleMania 40, seemed genuine, as they elevated the Women’s Tag Team Championship division together. However, Belair’s rapid rise to the top has often put her at odds with other competitors, and her ambition could plausibly have led her to see Cargill as a threat. Naomi’s accusation aligns with whispers of behind-the-scenes tension between Belair and Cargill, as reported by Jonathan Coachman in November 2024, though those claims were never substantiated.
On the other hand, Naomi’s credibility is questionable. Her heel turn after the Elimination Chamber, coupled with her admitted jealousy of Cargill, suggests she might be projecting her own guilt onto Belair to justify her actions. Cargill’s own statements on social media, where she admitted to not trusting Belair after the attack, add fuel to the fire, but they don’t confirm Belair’s involvement. The timing of Naomi’s revelation—right before Belair’s high-stakes title match at WrestleMania—also raises suspicions that this could be a calculated move to destabilize Belair’s focus.
The fallout from this scandal is already shaping the road to WrestleMania 41. With Belair set to face IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley in a triple-threat match for the Women’s World Championship, the added pressure of these accusations could affect her performance. Meanwhile, Cargill and Naomi’s feud is expected to culminate in a grudge match at the event, but Cargill’s lingering doubts about Belair might lead to a larger confrontation involving all three women. WWE has a history of using such drama to build compelling storylines, as seen with past “whodunit” angles like the 1999 “Who ran over Stone Cold?” mystery, but the real-world implications of trust and betrayal in this case make it particularly gripping.
