With the Elimination Chamber looming next week in Perth, Australia, excitement crackles within the WWE Universe. One name at the center of speculation is Jade Cargill, whose in-ring debut was widely expected at the event. However, recent developments suggest Chief Content Officer Triple H might have other plans.
Leaks, a constant thorn in WWE’s side, potentially exposed the Chamber card, prompting damage control. Significant changes to SmackDown’s qualifying matches hint at a possible revision of the final lineup, prioritizing fresh and engaging content for fans.
These alterations include Naomi facing Alba Fyre (replacing Shotzi) and Tiffany Stratton squaring off against Zelina Vega, with the latter likely winning and securing her spot through a “last chance” Battle Royal next week.

This leaves Cargill in a state of flux. Fans may have to wait longer for her electrifying debut, as the leaked promotional poster featuring her in the Chamber match caused a stir. While speculation runs wild, it remains uncertain if “The Game” will alter plans this close to the event.
One thing’s clear: Rhea Ripley, defending her Women’s World Championship against Nia Jax, faces a different kind of challenge. Excitement to perform in front of her home crowd will be tempered by the formidable “Irresistible Force” standing between her and WrestleMania glory.
Beyond the Women’s Chamber, anticipation abounds for thrilling matches across the card. With WrestleMania just around the corner, Elimination Chamber promises an electrifying prelude, regardless of whether Cargill steps into the unforgiving structure.
