WWE Superstar Chelsea Green defeated Michin to become the inaugural Women’s United States Champion on Saturday Night’s Main Event. The Hot Mess had been gunning for the title for a long time and finally earned the gold after pestering Nick Aldis for weeks.
However, now that she is a champion, four superstars may challenge her for the title.
#4. Michin didn’t go down in a clean fight
Mia Yim and Chelsea Green have been locked in a rivalry for several weeks. The duo also participated in WWE’s first-ever women’s Dumpster Match, which Yim won. Interestingly, The OC member could have won the US title match as well. However, a timely interference by Piper Niven allowed The Hot Mess to shift the momentum to her side.

Thus, Michin could use this to challenge the Canadian superstar once again and have someone to safeguard her from Niven. She can invite her longtime friend Bayley, who has previously helped her against Green, to be her ringside guardian.
#3. Bianca Belair has unfinished business with Chelsea Green
Chelsea Green won the first round of the Women’s US Championship tournament against Bianca Belair and Blair Davenport. However, The EST of WWE had to abandon the match in between when she saw that Jade Cargill was ambushed in the parking lot. Thus, there was a chance that Belair could have been in Green’s place, holding the title right now.
The three-time WWE Women’s Champion can use this claim to become The Hot Mess’ first challenger. Moreover, since Jade Cargill may not be back for a long time, the Stamford-based promotion can put Belair back in singles competition this way.
#2. Chelsea Green can face a cross-branded challenger
NXT star Lash Legend has been making a lot of appearances on the SmackDown brand lately. Accompanied by her tag team partner Jakara Jackson, Legend was also part of the Women’s US Championship tournament. She was eliminated in her qualifier match by Michin, who actually profited off Legend’s finisher, Lash Extension, on Piper Niven.
Because of this, Legend has claimed that she wasn’t beaten in the match. Moreover, both members of The Meta Four have said that they will go wherever the gold goes. Thus, the NXT star could be the first in line to challenge The Hot Mess.
#1. Becky Lynch may return to SmackDown and lay claim to the US title
WWE Superstar Becky Lynch was last seen on May 27, 2024, when she lost the chance to regain the Women’s World Championship against Liv Morgan in a steel cage match. The Man could end her hiatus and switch to SmackDown to challenge Chelsea Green for her title.
This would be a big opportunity for The Hot Mess as well, as she can solidify her championship reign early on by defending her belt against a five-time WWE Women’s Champion.
It would be interesting to see which of these women takes the fight to Chelsea Green and tries to take the United States Championship off her.
