The WWE Universe has been trying to decode the mystery surrounding Jade Cargill’s mystery attacker on SmackDown for weeks now. Numerous names are under the scanner. However, most viewers feel Bianca Belair is the mastermind behind the beatdown, and Charlotte Flair may prove the same on Friday.

Before Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 on the November 22 edition of SmackDown, Jade Cargill was viciously attacked backstage by an unknown assailant. Meanwhile, Big Jade’s tag team partner, Bianca Belair, was competing in a Women’s United States Championship Tournament match.

In a shocking turn of events, former RAW Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair could return on SmackDown and expose Bianca Belair as the mystery attacker. This could lead to the heel turn of The EST of WWE for the first time on the main roster. The Queen has been absent from TV since she suffered a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus during a match against Asuka in December 2023.

Upon her return, Jade Cargill could begin her much-awaited feud against Bianca Belair. Meanwhile, Charlotte Flair could face a heel Belair at a mega event like WrestleMania 41.

Belair is a three-time Women’s Champion. She is also the reigning Women’s Tag Team Champion.

Charlotte Flair speaks about her devastating injury

During her appearance on the Forever Young podcast, The Queen revealed she had negative thoughts after being injured last year.

Flair admitted that she got hurt right when her husband and former NXT Champion Andrade was returning to the company after a stint in AEW.

“When it first happened, I thought my life was over. [laughs] I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, a perfect storm!’ My husband [Andrade] had just come back to the company or was on his way back. I knew he was gonna be debuting soon, and I just, from the moment I was taken out, I just have kept telling myself that I’m gonna come back the best version of The Queen.”

It remains to be seen how long fans will have to wait to see Charlotte Flair back on WWE television.
