Bill Apter suggests WWE star could replace Charlotte Flair in the title picture on SmackDown
Wrestling journalist Bill Apter believes that Charlotte Flair's injury provides an opportunity for Jade Cargill to make an impact on the main roster.
Jade Cargill exited All Elite Wrestling last year and debuted with WWE during the Kickoff Show for Fastlane 2023. Cargill has not competed in a match yet, and Triple H recently stated that she will do so when she is ready for whatever is thrown at her.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, Bill Apter wondered if the promotion is ready to bring Jade Cargill to the main roster now that Charlotte Flair is out with an injury. Apter suggested Cargill could debut in the Women's Royal Rumble match this weekend.
"Are they going to now need to hopefully bring the maybe-ready Jade Cargill into the SmackDown mix of the women's division? Now, because Charlotte's gone, and now they've got to come up with some new ideas. So, they've got to bring some new people in. So maybe this would be the entre to bring her [Jade] in after the Royal Rumble or whatever happens at the Rumble," Bill Apter said.

Ric Flair has claimed that his daughter will return sooner than expected. It will be interesting to see what WWE has planned for the veteran when she returns to action later this year.
