Michin advances to WWE Women’s United States title tournament semifinals

The semifinals for the Women’s United States title tournament is nearly set.

Michin advanced on Friday, defeating Piper Niven and Lash Legend in a three-way match. The finish saw Chelsea Green come out in an attempt to help tag team partner Niven. However B-Fab, who was mocked by the team recently, came out and attacked Green. The distraction allowed Legend to hit her Lash Extension finish on Niven, but Michin quickly countered with a senton to score the win.

Next week’s SmackDown will determine Michin’s next opponent. In the final opening round match of the tournament, Naomi will face Tiffany Stratton and Elektra Lopez.

Legend originally wasn’t scheduled to compete in the tournament, as Jade Cargill was originally part of the triple threat match. However, Cargill was found unconscious on last week’s SmackDown after being thrown into a windshield. Michin and Niven’s opponent instead was promoted as a mystery competitor.

The finals of the tournament will take place at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14 in Uniondale, New York.
