On the May 8 episode of SmackDown, Charlotte Flair appeared on WWE TV for the first time since her WrestleMania loss to Tiffany Stratton for the Women’s Championship. The show has also hinted at her next opponent, Jade Cargill, setting the wrestling world abuzz.
Fans Want Charlotte Flair vs. Jade Cargill at SummerSlam
Charlotte Flair showed up after three weeks but was booed heavily throughout her segment. The Queen bragged about how great she is, warned fans she’d leave if they kept disrespecting her, and fans finally cheered as she left the ring out of frustration.
Cargill, scheduled for a match, didn’t wait for the 14-time champ to make her exit. The two shared a quick stare-down, and Cargill reminded The Queen to back off as she was gunning for a title shot. The Storm then faced Nia Jax in a No. 1 contender’s match while champion Stratton watched from the ringside.
Cargill dominated until getting distracted when Naomi attacked Stratton. Jax capitalized on the moment to steal the win. With Jax now getting a title shot, Cargill is free to keep feuding with Naomi—or, as fans hope, to collide with Flair. The moment between Cargill and Flair was brief, but it set social media talking about a potential match at SummerSlam.
One fan wrote, “Charlotte Flair vs Jade Cargill is the move at SummerSlam. 2 Icon’s. One former and one current. This would solidify Cargill as the next big star leading to her winning the Women’s Championship within this year.”
One user believes the match would be a solid booking for SummerSlam: “*Peeping Charlotte Flair vs. Jade Cargill gotta be the move and that would be solid for SummerSlam at @MetLifeStadium though! #SmackDown.”
Another commented, “Jade Cargill vs Charlotte Flair tease 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 Summerslam? #WWE #SmackDown #WWEonNetflix #SummerSlam.”

While one fan wrote that the match will surely take place, “Undoubtedly, Jade Cargill vs. Charlotte Flair will happen this year. SUMMERSLAM 2025 seems to be rightful destination, if you ask me. 🔥#SmackDown.”
If this bout is booked for the biggest event of summer, it will be a huge one for Cargill’s career, testing her in-ring skills, as a user suggested, “We are so getting Charlotte Flair vs Jade Cargill at #SummerSlam. And this will be Jade’s biggest test when it happens too 💯 #SmackDown.”
If it happens, Flair vs. Cargill will be one of the most interesting bookings, and the WWE Universe clearly wants it. For now, The Storm seems locked in with Naomi, but fans are convinced she will soon cross paths with one of the greats.
