Chelsea Green is calling on WWE to increase the visibility of the Women’s United States and Intercontinental Championship titles. Since becoming the first-ever WWE Women’s United States Champion in December 2024 after winning the tournament finals on Saturday Night’s Main Event, Green believes these titles need stronger promotion to fully showcase the women’s division.
Background on the Women’s United States and Intercontinental Championships
In late 2024, Chelsea Green made history by capturing the inaugural WWE Women’s United States Championship, solidifying her place in the company’s evolving landscape of women’s wrestling. Following this, WWE introduced the Women’s Intercontinental Championship to further expand opportunities within the division. These additions marked a significant change, providing mid-card titles specifically for female competitors across WWE’s multiple brands.
Chelsea Green’s View on Expanding Title Recognition
While praising WWE’s decision to create these belts, Green feels there is more that the company could do to elevate their importance and consistently showcase the champions across its programming. She expressed enthusiasm about the expanded roster, noting the high number of talented women across Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and additional brands such as ID, Evolve, and LFG.
I definitely am so happy that we introduced those titles, because I felt like for a long time we were missing, we were missing opportunities for a bunch of the girls. We just have such a stacked roster between Raw SmackDown, NXT.

I mean, now we’ve got ID, we’ve got Evolve, we’ve got LFG. We have so many different brands, and we just didn’t have enough titles to really represent all the girls and the variety of women, you know, and so I’m very happy that we got them. I think that they’ve been a beautiful addition in terms of getting people in the mix, getting women to have a spot on TV.

Calls for Weekly Airing of Women’s US and IC Title Matches
Green suggested that champions such as Giulia, Zelina, and Michin should be featured regularly on WWE television to highlight the significance of these titles. Despite her enthusiasm, she admitted that she is not part of the creative team and therefore does not know the full plans behind how these titles are booked. Her focus remains on elevating the championships’ prestige by investing effort both on and off screen.
Do I think that we’re doing all we can with them? No. I would love to see more being done with them. I want, I want Giulia to be wrestling on TV every single week with that title. I wanted Zelina on TV every single week, I want Michin to win the title and be on TV every single week.

There’s so many hours of WWE, and we can find a place for those championships if we try. It’s tough. I’m not a part of the creative meetings. I don’t know how that looks. So all that I can do on my end is make the title mean something. I hope that by putting it out there on social media and making storylines on social media, it garners the attention that those titles deserve.

Importance of Greater Spotlight and Potential Impact
The push to emphasize the Women’s United States and Intercontinental Championships could significantly raise the profile of WWE’s mid-card women’s division. By spotlighting these titles more frequently, WWE would not only provide a platform for female wrestlers on multiple rosters but also create fresh storylines to engage fans. Chelsea Green’s advocacy highlights the ongoing need for better exposure and meaningful opportunities for women’s champions across all WWE programming.
