Jade Cargill’s Novel Faction in WWE: ‘The Takeover’ Emerges, Potential Rivals Identified
The landscape of WWE’s women’s division is shifting as Jade Cargill appears to have solidified a new faction, tentatively named “The Takeover,” following a recent attack on Rhea Ripley. This development, unfolding on the March 21st, 2026 episode of SmackDown, sees Cargill aligning with B-Fab and Michin, creating a formidable force heading into WrestleMania 42.
The Formation of ‘The Takeover’
The alliance began to take shape during a confrontation between Cargill and Ripley, her WrestleMania 42 challenger. Instead of engaging Cargill, B-Fab and Michin turned on Ripley, launching a three-on-one assault as seen in recent footage. Cargill subsequently shared a photo with her new group, captioning it “The Takeover,” hinting at a potential official name for the faction according to WWE on USA.
Rhea Ripley’s Potential Allies
Facing a numerical disadvantage, Rhea Ripley may seek reinforcements. Several WWE stars have been identified as potential allies:
- IYO SKY: A former tag team partner with Ripley in the RHIYO duo, SKY currently lacks a significant feud leading into WrestleMania, making her a logical choice to support Ripley.
- Jordynne Grace: A recent rival of Cargill’s for the WWE Women’s Title, Grace’s involvement is contingent on her recovery from an ankle injury sustained a few weeks prior.
- Zaria: The NXT star, sharing Australian roots with Ripley, could form an alliance based on their shared background.
Recent Exchanges Between Cargill and Ripley
The rivalry between Cargill and Ripley has been escalating. Ripley recently stated that she and Cargill have “said everything we needed to say,” as reported on Facebook, while Cargill has expressed a lack of need for the title or the fans.
The formation of “The Takeover” adds a new layer of complexity to the women’s division and sets the stage for a potentially explosive WrestleMania 42 encounter between Cargill and Ripley.
