As WrestleMania 42 draws near, speculation intensifies around who will challenge for the WWE Women’s Championship. Currently, Jade Cargill holds the title, and there’s little indication she’ll be stripped of it before the event, which means fans are eagerly anticipating who her challenger might be.
Several contenders from the RAW and SmackDown women’s rosters are in the mix for a shot at Cargill’s championship, each bringing their own storyline and fan excitement.
6. Jade Cargill vs. Bianca Belair
Former WWE tag partners, Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair, are set for a potential high-profile clash once Belair returns to action, possibly earning her title shot through the Royal Rumble or Elimination Chamber. Their power-packed rivalry, marked by Cargill’s heel turn during Belair’s absence, promises a thrilling and unpredictable WrestleMania encounter, with Belair having a strong track record of delivering standout matches on WWE’s biggest stage.
5. Jade Cargill vs. Tiffany Stratton
Tiffany Stratton and Jade Cargill currently hold a 1-1 record against each other after trading wins in previous bouts. Given their chemistry and the backstory of Stratton being betrayed by Cargill’s heel tactics, a decisive rubber match at WrestleMania 42 makes narrative and competitive sense—especially if Stratton’s return leads to a Royal Rumble or Elimination Chamber victory.
4. Charlotte Flair vs. Alexa Bliss
There’s a potential surprise brewing with Charlotte Flair or Alexa Bliss possibly dethroning Cargill on the Road to WrestleMania, maybe as part of an Elimination Chamber match. Both beloved fan favorites on SmackDown, their possible title pursuit could add emotional depth, especially if it involves a dramatic betrayal, intensifying the storyline stakes ahead of WrestleMania.
3. Jade Cargill vs. Jordynne Grace
SmackDown’s newest star, Jordynne Grace, has been positioned for a showdown against Jade Cargill, with WWE teasing their eventual face-off. A WrestleMania match would mark a fresh, dynamic rivalry and signal WWE’s commitment to elevating Grace as a rising powerhouse in the women’s division.
2. Jade Cargill vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Alexa Bliss
Given the busy women’s tag team scene and both Flair and Bliss’s standout year, a triple threat match among these three for the WWE Women’s Title could bring high tension and storytelling complexity. This scenario creates added unpredictability and showcases the competitive depth within WWE’s women’s division.
1. Jade Cargill vs. Chelsea Green
Chelsea Green has been portrayed as the underdog, continually clashing with Cargill, culminating in a recent brutal attack by the champion. Fans hope WWE will eventually push Green as a fan-favorite and comedic underdog who could pull off a stunning upset at the Royal Rumble and challenge Cargill for the title at WrestleMania, although WWE still needs to build her credibility as a serious contender.
Fan Take:
This lineup of potential challengers highlights the thrilling depth and diversity in WWE’s women’s division, promising compelling storylines and high-stakes matches for WrestleMania 42. For fans, this means an event full of dramatic twists and breakout moments that could shape the future of women’s wrestling in WWE.
