Chelsea Green made history last night at Saturday Night’s
Main Event by becoming the inaugural WWE Women’s United
States champion.

The title was introduced to the Smackdown brand on November
8 and a tournament to crown the first-ever champion kicked
off a week later.

12 women took part in four, triple-threat matches with
Bayley defeating Candice LaRae and B-Fab, Chelsea Green
defeating Blair Davenport and Bianca Belair, Michin
defeating Piper Niven and Lash Legend, and Tiffany Stratton
defeating Naomi and Elektra Lopez.

In the semi finals held on Friday’s Smackdown, Green beat
Bayley and Michin beat Stratton, sending both to the
tournament final and a rematch from their previously well-
received dumpster match of several weeks back.

Green was the overwhelming favorite heading into the match,
a testament to her hard work and character development over
the past several months. Her victory was given the seal of
approval from the usually-tough New York crowd who erupted
following the Unprettier finisher.
