WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event 2026 Results: What’s Next For Jade Cargill And Rhea Ripley?
At WWE WrestleMania 42, Ripley defeated Cargill to win the WWE Women’s Championship. At Saturday Night’s Main Event, Cargill took one step closer to winning back that title.
When Cargill recently returned to SmackDown after a brief TV absence, it instantly became clear that she hadn’t gotten over her WrestleMania loss. In fact, Cargill still had her sights set on Ripley, and though there are other stars involved now, it’s clear where this headed.
WWE is already just one week away from Clash in Italy, and that PLE will set the perfect stage for the rematch between Cargill and Ripley.
After Cargill pinned to get the win for her team at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, she now has plenty of momentum en route to her rematch and attempt to take her title back. Since Ripley won the title at WrestleMania 42, she’s now transitioned to the SmackDown brand and seems to be full-time there.
Cargill didn’t quite work out as WWE Women’s Champion, but with most of SmackDown’s other top women’s stars busy elsewhere, one more match between Cargill and Flair appears to be the most logical route WWE can take. Ripley, of course, is likely to keep her title moving forward, but she has to wrap things up before she can move forward.
Given Cargill’s big win at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, we’re one step closer to Ripley vs. Cargill II and the end of their rivalry.
