Chelsea Green is one of the four semi-finalists in the WWE US Title tournament on SmackDown. The Canadian Superstar will take on Bayley in one of the two tournament semi-finals next Friday on the blue brand. Fans are vocal in their support for Chelsea and it seems an industry veteran is backing her as well.
During an appearance on BroDown on Backstage Pass, Vince Russo offered his two cents on next Friday's semi-final between Chelsea and Bayley. The veteran said WWE should give Chelsea the win in the US Title tournament.
"They've got to put Chelsea Green over." [20:39 onwards]
Russo further explained why Tiffany Stratton, another sem-finalist with fan support, should get into the final against Chelsea but not become the inaugural Women's United States Champion.
Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?
"This is such a no-brainer. Tiffany has the (Money in the Bank) briefcase. So, Tiffany doesn't need the (US Championship) belt. Get Tiffany and Chelsea to the finals. Get Chelsea over." [21:01 onwards]
SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis put Chelsea over during an interview with Chris Van Vliet. Could this seemingly inevitable push for Chelsea lead to a face turn in 2025? It remains to be seen what happens next.
