Chelsea Green celebration set for WWE SmackDown, updated lineup

On SmackDown tonight, WWE’s first-ever Women’s United States Champion will celebrate her title victory.
Chelsea Green became the inaugural Women’s United States Champion by defeating Michin in the finals of a tournament earlier this month. Tonight, there will be an inauguration on SmackDown for Green as she celebrates the start of her title reign.
“Ladies and gentlemen, it is your youngest-ever, richest-ever, most-tannest ever, longest-reigning United States Women’s Champion in history,” Green said. “And honestly, this should have happened a lot sooner. But, you know, I’m the champ, so places to go, famous people to see. Tonight, live in flesh, I will grace you with my presence at the first-ever United States Women’s Championship celebration.”
SmackDown is taking place from Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida tonight. Along with being the last episode of 2024, this is the final two-hour episode before SmackDown expands to three hours starting next week.
Bianca Belair, Naomi & Bayley vs. Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton & Candice LeRae has also been announced for tonight’s show. In addition to that, Nick Aldis will address Kevin Owens’ attack on Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes from Saturday Night’s Main Event.
