Chelsea Green crowned first-ever WWE Women’s United States Champion
Chelsea Green has made history.
Green defeated Michin at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event to become the first-ever Women’s United States Champion. The finish had Michin dropkick Piper Niven off the apron. Green, who was on the top turnbuckle, used the distraction to roll over Michin and connect with the unprettier for the win.
After the match, SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis awarded the title to Green as she celebrated her title win with Niven.
WWE introduced the title last month, serving as a secondary women’s title to the SmackDown brand. Michin defeated Lash Legend and Piper Niven in the first round, then defeated Tiffany Stratton in the semifinals. Meanwhile, Green defeated Bianca Belair and Blair Davenport in the opening round and Bayley in the semifinals.
A similar tournament is currently being held on the Raw brand to crown the first-ever Women’s Intercontinental Champion. On Monday’s Raw, Lyra Valkyria advanced out of the first round by defeating Ivy Nile and Zelina Vega.
