Chelsea Green Says Fans Got So Behind Her They Forced WWE To Make Her The First Women’s United States Champion

Chelsea Green says WWE fans forced the company to put the Women’s United States Championship on her.

WWE introduced the Women’s US Title in November 2024. A tournament was held to crown the inaugural champion, which was eventually won by Chelsea Green.

Speaking with Kat Siggers on Spotlight, Green was asked if winning a title nobody has held before is different from chasing one.

“I won it because the fans got so behind me that they forced WWE to make that decision. Like truly. I felt like I didn’t just win it for myself. I won it for all the people that were cheering for me. The moment that I went to hit my finisher in the ring, like you can see it, feel it and hear it if you go back and watch those clips. Now, because they pushed so hard for me and we collectively did it, that can never be erased from the history books. Until the day that I die, I will always be the first ever United States Women’s Champion and I love that. When I think about the packages that you see on TV for the titles, they have to include me because I was the first. It’s an exciting moment for me in my career because I knew there was going to be times when I might win championships and this and that, but you always think like what are you going to be remembered for? But that’s one thing that I know I will be remembered for.”

Chelsea Green is currently scheduled to participate in the five-way ladder match for the Interim WWE Women’s Championship at SummerSlam. Fans can read more about the event by clicking here and here.
