Nick Aldis recently introduced the Women's United States Championship on WWE SmackDown. Wrestling veteran Magnum T.A. has predicted Bayley to win the title.
Since the SmackDown general manager made the historic announcement, fans and experts have speculated about who would be the first superstar to capture the Women's United States Championship. Wrestling veterans Greg Gagne and Magnum T.A. recently discussed the subject on the Straight Talk with the Boss podcast.
While Gagne suggested the names of Jade Cargill and Rhea Ripley, Magnum T.A. predicted it would be Bayley. The 65-year-old praised the first-ever Women's Grand Slam Champion, pointing out that she could work as a heel or a babyface.
"Bayley. She's incredible. Well, her interview is so genuine and her timing in the ring is really, I mean, really good. I mean, she's a good heel, good babyface, either way. She's a very very capable performer," Magnum said. [1:00:09 - 1:00:40]
WWE analyst wants another superstar to win the championship
On the latest episode of his Notsam Wrestling podcast, WWE analyst Sam Roberts discussed the introduction of the Women's United States Championship. He claimed several superstars would be legitimate contenders to hold the gold.
The 41-year-old expressed his desire to see current Women's Speed Champion Candice LeRae become the inaugural titleholder.
"I think for me, somebody that I'd like to see maybe be the first Women's United States Champion is Candice LeRae. I think we've seen more and more out of Candice, and I think that I'd like to see that rocket get put on the back of Candice LeRae," he said.
Despite explaining that the title would not be handed but earned, SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis has yet to announce how the first champion would be crowned.
