Female star sets sights on WWE Championship in 2025
After a breakthrough year in WWE, Michin vows to pursue championship gold following her tournament final setback against Chelsea Green.
Michin has declared her intention to capture the Women’s United States Championship in 2025. The announcement follows her tournament final match against Chelsea Green at Saturday Night’s Main Event, where she fell short of securing the inaugural title.
During an appearance on Wesh 2 News, Yim reflected on her journey and outlined her championship aspirations. The former OC member shared her perspective on 2024 and her plans for the coming year:
So, I posted this right after my match at Saturday Night’s Main Event, where 2024 was my year of recognition, where it was for people to recognize me and what I can fully do. 2025 is going to be redemption where I’m coming after mine, at the end of the day. I was this close to getting that US Championship, and I could smell it, and now that I got that scent, I’m not going to stop before I get it.
After #SmackDown check out my conversation with @MiaYim about her incredible 2024. She's had an incredible pro wrestling journey and I really hope big things are in her future. You can't help but root for her. Please watch and share.https://t.co/OUHJMD4r0Y

Chelsea Green makes history as inaugural Women’s United States Champion
Chelsea Green claimed her place in WWE history by defeating Michin to become the first Women’s United States Champion at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Her path to victory included wins over Bianca Belair and Blair Davenport in the opening rounds, followed by a semifinal victory against Bayley.
The title change marked only the third championship switch in Saturday Night’s Main Event history, joining the ranks of The Brain Busters’ World Tag Team Championship victory in 1989 and Shawn Michaels’ Intercontinental Championship win over British Bulldog in 1992.
The achievement represents Green’s first singles title in WWE since 2021.
