Former Champion shows off gruesome injury after WWE SmackDown

A top star has shared gruesome details of the injury after WWE SmackDown. The recent episode of the blue brand featured a lot of big names in action, with the main event being a Title match.

Tiffany Stratton defended her Women’s Championship against Nia Jax and Jade Cargill in a Triple-Threat match on the show. The match ended with the Buff Barbie retaining her title, but there was an incident that got the fans talking.

Before the end of the match, Cargill was busted open after being tossed on the steel steps by Jax. She was seen bleeding with a cut just above her eye as the officials ran in to check on her. Though she continued the match, fans were left worried. Now, Cargill has shared the gruesome details of the injury.

The former Women’s Tag Team Champion posted gruesome photos of her injury on Instagram, showing off a deep gash just above her eye. She also added a message to go along with the image.

“Don’t question the love I have for this game,” she wrote.

FULL MATCH: Tiffany Stratton vs. Jade Cargill vs. Nia Jax: SmackDown, Sept. 26, 2025

Despite bleeding, Cargill continued the match and delivered a Samoan Drop to Jax on the steel steps.

Major botch occurred during the WWE Women’s Title match

Jade Cargill’s injury wasn’t the only notable incident from the main event on SmackDown. The ending of the match saw a botched finish.

Toward the end, Cargill hit Jax with the Eye of the Storm and went for the pin. Stratton ran in to break the attempt with a dropkick, but Jax had already kicked out.

Stratton then tried to steal Cargill’s pin on Jax. However, after Jax failed to kick out of the pinfall attempt, the referee had to stop the count midway. This led to confusion over the finish, with Stratton then hitting the Prettiest Moonsault Ever to retain the WWE Women’s Championship.

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
