• WWE’s Decision Regarding A “Divas Open Challenge” Revealed
At the final Saturday Night’s Main Event of 2024, Chelsea Green defeated Michin to become the inaugural WWE Women’s United States Champion.
In an interview on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, Green revealed that she pitched the idea of starting a “Divas Open Challenge” and introducing a Divas-themed Women’s United States Championship belt, but WWE turned down the idea.
“A Divas United States custom championship? I asked; I really did try; I tried so hard; I wanted to do a Divas open challenge; I want to do the whole shebang, but I understand that the women before me, it’s fun for me, because I wasn’t a Diva, but the women before me fought so hard to kind of end that stigma.
I don’t know if bringing it back right now would do those women justice. Maybe in 10 years, maybe the girls from NXT can come up and do it in the future, but I will continue trying. I will keep pushing.”
Chelsea Green recaptured the Women’s United States Title after defeating Giulia on SmackDown last month.
• Chris Jericho’s Latest Comment About Possible WWE Return
For months, Chris Jericho has been noticeably absent from All Elite Wrestling programming, and that silence has only fueled questions about what lies ahead. His last appearance came back in April 2025, when he publicly voiced frustration with Big Bill and Bryan Keith after losing the ROH World Championship and then walked away.
With Jericho’s AEW deal expected to expire at the end of the year, speculation around his next move has continued to grow. Those questions resurfaced in an unexpected way during AEW Worlds End weekend, when Jericho went live on YouTube for a holiday-themed broadcast titled Christmas Dinner With The Winnipeggers.
During the stream, a fan message caught Jericho’s attention, recalling watching his 1999 WWF debut and expressing hope that he might one day return to WWE. Jericho didn’t shut the idea down: “You never know. You never know.”
That comment stood out even more in light of recent reporting. Ahead of Worlds End, Fightful Select noted that Jericho’s name had not been part of AEW’s ongoing creative discussions.
Earlier this month, Jericho also addressed his future directly in an interview, making it clear that retirement isn’t on the table just yet. While he admitted he’s still sorting through his options, he confidently stated that fans can expect to see him competing somewhere in 2026.
