Chelsea Green claims future US Title victory after controversial SmackDown win
Chelsea Green advances in Women's US Championship tournament after controversial victory, while mysterious attack on Jade Cargill impacts match outcome on SmackDown.
Chelsea Green declared herself the future Women’s United States Champion following her victory in Friday’s Triple Threat match on SmackDown. The Canadian star advanced in the tournament after defeating Blair Davenport and Bianca Belair under controversial circumstances.
In a post-match workout video shared on WWE’s Instagram, Green addressed her fans while cycling. “I’m sure you all saw the amazing victory I had. Future United States Champion amongst you all,” Green stated. “A future United States Champion doesn’t do what other girls do. I don’t like to go for cocktails or whatever the other girls do. I get to work.”
Green faces Bayley in the next round, with the tournament final scheduled for Saturday’s Night Main Event on December 14. The winner will become the inaugural Women’s United States Champion.
Backstage attack leads to unexpected tournament outcome
The Triple Threat match took an unexpected turn when Bianca Belair, who appeared poised for victory, was forced to abandon the contest after footage showed her tag team partner Jade Cargill unconscious backstage.
The identity of Cargill’s attacker remains unknown as the tournament continues.
