The tournament to crown the inaugural Women’s WWE United
States champion kicked off on Smackdown last night.

Four, triple threat matches will determine the four semi
finalists before the winners meet in the finals at next
month’s Saturday Night’s Main Event NBC special.

The first match saw Bayley defeat Candice LeRae and B-Fab to
advance. On the same side of the bracket there is Bianca
Belair vs Chelsea Green vs Blair Davenport, with the winner
of that match advancing to take on Bayley.

The right side of the bracket has Jade Cargill vs Michin vs
Piper Niven and the other one has Naomi vs Tiffany Stratton
vs Elektra Lopez. The winners of those two matches meet each
other in the semi final.

Saturday Night’s Main Event will take place on December 14
from the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New
York.
