WWE WrestleMania 41 Results: Jade Cargill Wins Historic Match Against Naomi
Jade Cargill beat Naomi in a very entertaining grudge match that made WrestleMania women’s history.
Naomi walked out to huge cheers, with new theme music. The lyrics form Naomi’s music spoke of a “warning,” which is on-brand for Naomi’s new caution tape-influenced gear. Jade Cargill walked out after a “WrestleMania Weather Report” (predicting a storm, of course) with all the star power of the X-Men.
I will go to my grave saying Naomi’s heel turn was better than John Cena’s. Naomi singlehandedly seized the throne as the best performer in all of WWE and never looked back. Her emotional promo alongside a disheveled Bianca Belair was a peak into WWE’s next era of Black Cinema. Oba Femi, Trick Williams, Je’von Evans and the stars of AfricaNXT will help WWE tell more unique stories that connect with The Culture like never before.
Naomi and Jade Cargill made history as the first ever women’s singles WrestleMania match without a stipulation or title on the line. This means Jade and Naomi’s storyline was historically great, to the point where they didn’t need a reason or a gimmick to compete at WrestleMania outside of pure hatred for one another.
Naomi ran into a familiar problem in the wrestling business when it comes to high-performing heels. Her work as a villain was so good, it began to garner support. Since being revealed as Jade Cargill’s mystery assailant, Naomi has gone Super Saiyan as a dedicated Twitter troll, Quote Tweeting Jade with every click. Naomi’s act translated to real life, with a fiery appearance at WaleMania where she cut a profanity laced promo to the tune of cheers among the mostly Black crowd.
Moving forward, Bianca Belair will remain the X-factor as Naomi’s heel character continues her descent into madness. Will Bianca lean into the heel reactions she’s received of late? Or will she stay true to her morals as a forever babyface in WWE?
