Chelsea Green is never afraid to share her opinions about WWE, and that includes the company’s handling of the Women’s United States and Intercontinental Championships.
The SmackDown star recently spoke with CinemaBlend about why she’s happy the titles were introduced, but also why she believes more needs to be done with them.
“I definitely am so happy that we introduced those titles, because I felt like for a long time we were missing, we were missing opportunities for a bunch of the girls.
We just have such a stacked roster between RAW, SmackDown, NXT. I mean, now we’ve got ID, we’ve got Evolve, we’ve got LFG. We have so many different brands, and we just didn’t have enough titles to really represent all the girls and the variety of women, you know, and so I’m very happy that we got them. I think that they’ve been a beautiful addition in terms of getting people in the mix, getting women to have a spot on TV.
Do I think that we’re doing all we can with them? No. I would love to see more being done with them. I want Giulia to be wrestling on TV every single week with that title. I wanted Zelina on TV every single week. I want Michin to win the title and be on TV every single week. There’s so many hours of WWE, and we can find a place for those championships if we try. It’s tough. I’m not a part of the creative meetings. I don’t know how that looks.
So all that I can do on my end is make the title mean something. I hope that by putting it out there on social media and making storylines on social media, it garners the attention that those titles deserve.”
Becky Lynch, a constant presence in major storylines, is the current Women’s Intercontinental Champion. Giulia holds the Women’s United States Title, but hasn’t done much of significance with it yet.
Chelsea Green Defends Nia Jax
The main event of SmackDown after Wrestlepalooza featured Tiffany Stratton defending her WWE Women’s Championship in a Triple Threat Match against Nia Jax and Jade Cargill.
During the bout, Jax drove Cargill into the steel steps, leaving her busted open. Later in the match, she also forgot to kick out of one of Stratton’s pin attempts, leading to criticism from fans online. Some even accused Jax of injuring Cargill on purpose.
One fan took to X and wrote that WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H should punish Jax for her performance:
“If I’m Triple H, I’m booking Nia Jax every week and having her eat pins until every woman in the entire company has pinned her consecutively. If she doesn’t want to do it, show her the damn door.
What she did to Jade Cargill was on purpose. Enough is enough already…”
Former WWE star Baron Corbin (now known as Bishop Dyer) quickly came to Jax’s defense, tweeting:
“Dude shut the f**k up! You have no idea what you are talking about.”
Chelsea Green also joined the conversation, praising Jax and calling her a leader in the WWE locker room:
“The internet not knowing that Nia is one of the best is the biggest travesty. We’re lucky to have her as a locker room leader.”
