Chelsea Green wins Women’s United States title on WWE SmackDown
A new Women’s United States Champion has been crowned.
Chelsea Green is now the first-ever two time Women’s United States Champion, defeating Giulia on Friday in shocking fashion. After just over a minute of action, Kiana James helped Giulia at ringside by giving Green an elbow. Alba Fyre at ringside responded with a superkick. Giulia took out Fyre, but the distraction allowed Green to roll up the now former champion, putting her feet on the ropes for the surprise win.
After the match, Green celebrated with her tag team partner Ethan Page at ringside. He lifted her in the air as she held both of her championships.
Green has seen momentum in recent weeks, continuing her partnership with NXT’s Page that began earlier in the year. Last weekend at AAA’s Day of the Dead television taping, they defeated Mr. Iguana and La Hiedra to win the AAA Mixed Tag Team titles. Green now joins Page as a double champion, as he also holds the NXT North American title.
On Tuesday, the two were celebrating their Mixed Tag Team title win when Joe Hendry and Thea Hail interrupted, making it clear they wanted the first shot at the titles at Gold Rush. The show ended with the two getting pies thrown in their faces.
