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.

"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.
Manik Aftab writes Exclusive articles for Sportskeeda Wrestling’s WWE division. A BA (Hons) in English Literature helped him improve his writing skills before starting his career as a pro wrestling writer.
Before joining Sportskeeda, Aftab worked for Ringside News and The Sportster, where his wrestling articles and feature pieces consistently ranked on the first page of Google SERPs.
He prioritizes accuracy, relevance, and ethics in his reporting by conducting thorough research, verifying sources, and adhering to professional journalistic standards.
While Aftab’s favorite wrestler in AEW is Hangman Adam Page, he doesn’t have a favorite in WWE yet. However, he considers Stone Cold Steve Austin to be the greatest professional wrestler of all time. His earliest memory of watching pro wrestling was when The Rock faced The New Age Outlaws in a handicap match, but it was the John Cena vs. Edge match from Unforgiven 2006 that got him hooked. If given the chance to manage a star from the Attitude Era, he would choose The British Bulldog, as he believes Davey Boy Smith was a terrific worker and could've benefitted from having a mouthpiece for his lack of mic skills.
When not watching pro wrestling, Aftab enjoys reading science fiction and watching anime.
