We have a first-ever Women’s United States Champion.
History was created on 14th December, when the inaugural Women’s US Champion was crowned. After an entertaining and hard-fought encounter, Chelsea Green defeated Michin to become the first-ever Women’s United States Champion.
Green entered the match sporting iconic tights like her husband Matt Cardona’s Zack Ryder gimmick from his WWE run and left the match with the title on her shoulder. With little help from Piper Niven, Chelsea Green was able to finish the match against Michin with an assisted ‘Un-pretty-her’ from the top rope.
With Pyro going off, SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis handed Green the new championship. With a roaring crowd behind her, Green finished her night as the inaugural women’s mid-card champion, and celebrated on top of Niven’s shoulder, before the screen faded out.
Fans now need to keep an eye on the upcoming episodes of SmackDown to witness what’s next for Green as the new champion.
