WWE ring — This WWE champion made her return to the promotion this year.

Vicious shots were fired against a top WWE champion for not defending her title in 99 days.

Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville shocked the world when they won the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship several weeks ago on RAW. Following their surprise victory, Sonya Deville suffered a serious injury and was ruled out of action for several months.

Following that injury, Green found herself a new tag team partner in Piper Niven. Since then, the two superstars have been the Women's Tag Team Champions. However, they have never defended their titles.

Tonight on NXT Halloween Havoc Week One, Chelsea Green and Piper Niven interrupted Chase U, who were celebrating the biggest win of their career. During the backstage confrontation, Green said that she was going to lodge a complaint against Shawn Michaels for the way she was being spoken to. Jacy Jayne then volunteered to take them to his office. She also said that she would ask for a tag title opportunity since it was about time they defended their titles.

It will be interesting to see how Green and Niven will fare in their first title defense once it has been made official.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
