WWE is about to make history with the introduction of the Women’s United States Championship. As we approach Saturday Night’s Main Event this December, the tournament to crown the first-ever champion is nearing its climax. Chelsea Green, Bayley, and Michin have already secured their spots in the finals, with Naomi heavily favoured to join them.
But if I were booking WWE, this is how I’d handle not just the crowning of the inaugural champion but the story that would unfold over the next few months, culminating in an emotional showdown at WrestleMania 41.
Here’s how I’d make Chelsea Green the centrepiece of a redemption arc that elevates her, Tiffany Stratton, and the Women’s United States Championship to new heights.
Chapter 1: The Cinderella Moment
Saturday Night’s Main Event – December 2024
In my version, Naomi defeats her final opponent to secure her spot in the tournament finals, joining Chelsea Green, Bayley, and Michin in a Fatal 4-Way match.
The match itself is a fast-paced showcase of all four women’s strengths. Bayley and Naomi, as the favourites, dominate early on, but Chelsea, ever the underdog, seizes an opportunity to pin Michin after a chaotic finish. The crowd erupts as Chelsea Green shocks the world, defeating three of WWE’s biggest names to become the first-ever WWE Women’s United States Champion.
Chelsea’s celebration is emotional and heartfelt. Tears stream down her face as she holds the championship high, overwhelmed by the enormity of her achievement.
The Twist: Just as Chelsea begins to soak in the moment, Tiffany Stratton’s music hits. With her Money in the Bank briefcase in hand, Tiffany storms to the ring and cashes in on a vulnerable Chelsea. Despite Chelsea’s best efforts, Tiffany lands the Prettiest Moonsault Ever to steal the title.
As Tiffany gloats with her new championship, Chelsea sits heartbroken in the ring, clutching her stomach. The crowd rallies behind Chelsea, recognising her as the true hero of the moment.
Chapter 2: The Path of Resilience
Royal Rumble – January 2025
After losing the championship, Chelsea cuts a heartfelt promo on SmackDown. She reflects on her brief reign, promising to prove that her victory wasn’t a fluke. The fans rally behind her as she embarks on a journey to reclaim her title.
At the Royal Rumble, Chelsea enters at #15 and delivers a standout performance. She eliminates several competitors, including some big names, and lasts deep into the match.
When Tiffany Stratton enters at #27, the tension is palpable. Tiffany avoids Chelsea at first, playing mind games, but eventually, Chelsea catches her. In a huge moment, Chelsea eliminates Tiffany, earning a thunderous reaction from the crowd.
Tiffany’s Revenge: Furious at being outshone, Tiffany re-enters the ring illegally and blindsides Chelsea. She tosses Chelsea over the top rope and screams, “You’ll never make it to WrestleMania!” Officials escort Tiffany out, but the damage is done. Commentary emphasises Tiffany’s desperation to keep Chelsea out of the spotlight.
Chapter 3: Tiffany’s Reign of Terror
SmackDown, Post-Rumble to February 2025
With the Women’s United States Championship firmly in her grasp, Tiffany Stratton uses every opportunity to torment Chelsea Green.
Week 1: Tiffany hides Chelsea’s gear before a match, forcing her to scramble for ring attire. Despite the distraction, Chelsea picks up a win, but Tiffany mocks her effort backstage.
Week 2: Tiffany sabotages Chelsea’s car, leaving her stranded in the parking lot. During a backstage interview, Tiffany offers fake sympathy: “Poor Chelsea, always getting left behind.”
Week 3: Tiffany interferes in one of Chelsea’s matches, costing her a victory. After the match, Tiffany blindsides Chelsea with the championship belt, posing over her fallen rival.
Finally, SmackDown GM Nick Aldis steps in. Announcing that Tiffany’s actions have crossed the line, Aldis sets up the long-awaited rematch for WrestleMania 41, promising Chelsea her chance at redemption.
Chapter 4: The Personal Feud
February-March 2025
The rivalry between Chelsea and Tiffany intensifies, with both women delivering some of their best work:
Chelsea’s Promos: Chelsea speaks from the heart, recounting how Tiffany’s bullying reignited her passion and determination. “You may have taken my championship, my Rumble dream, and even my dignity, but you’ll never take my heart.”
Tiffany’s Mockery: Tiffany dismisses Chelsea as “the ultimate loser,” claiming the title belongs to someone who looks, acts, and wins like a star.
Physical confrontations escalate each week:
Chelsea ambushes Tiffany backstage, finally fighting back and throwing her into equipment crates.
Tiffany retaliates by putting Chelsea through the announce table with a moonsault off the barricade.
A contract signing ends in chaos, with Chelsea slapping Tiffany and holding the title aloft.
The final SmackDown before WrestleMania sees Chelsea hit the Unprettier on Tiffany during a brawl, leaving her rival laid out in the ring. Chelsea picks up the United States Championship, signalling her determination to reclaim it on the grandest stage.
Chapter 5: WrestleMania 41 – Chelsea Green vs. Tiffany Stratton
The match is framed as the culmination of Chelsea’s redemption arc. Commentary highlights her journey from inaugural champion to bullied underdog, while Tiffany plays the arrogant champion who believes Chelsea doesn’t belong in the spotlight.
The match itself is a showcase of storytelling and drama:
Chelsea’s Aggression: Chelsea explodes out of the gate, catching Tiffany off-guard with her fire and determination.
Tiffany’s Arrogance: Tiffany slows the pace, targeting Chelsea’s injured midsection and taunting her at every opportunity.
Near-Falls: Both women come within inches of victory. Chelsea survives the Prettiest Moonsault Ever by getting her foot on the ropes, and Tiffany narrowly escapes a roll-up counter from Chelsea.
The finish comes when Chelsea counters a second moonsault attempt, landing a top-rope Unprettier for the decisive pinfall.
Aftermath: Chelsea collapses in tears as the crowd erupts. She clutches the United States Championship, overwhelmed by the moment. Her victory cements her as one of WWE’s top babyfaces and a symbol of resilience.
Epilogue: A Fighting Champion
Chelsea Green’s win at WrestleMania 41 marks the beginning of a strong title reign where she proves herself as a fighting champion. Meanwhile, Tiffany Stratton, furious over her loss, refocuses on reclaiming the title or asserting her dominance elsewhere in the division.
Final Thoughts
This story isn’t just about a championship—it’s about heart, perseverance, and the journey of a true underdog. Chelsea Green’s redemption arc would elevate not only her career but also the prestige of the WWE Women’s United States Championship, creating a narrative that fans would remember for years.
