Breaking News, Folks! The Women’s United States Championship is officially a thing, and on this week’s episode of “WWE SmackDown,” the first bracket buster went down in Milwaukee. Spoiler alert: Bayley, the self-proclaimed “Role Model,” secured her spot in the semi-finals with a little help from her favorite move—the roll-up pin. A classic, just like apple pie and questionable referee decisions!
Triple Threat Chaos
Bayley faced Candice LeRae and B-Fab in what could only be described as a Triple Threat Match of Dreams™… if your dreams include watching B-Fab actually wrestle instead of just running interference. The Milwaukee crowd came alive as LeRae defied gravity with a mid-Superplex crossbody that left Bayley and all of us wondering if we’d underestimated her. Spoiler: we had.
But let’s give credit where it’s due—Bayley proved why she’s still one of WWE’s sneakiest veterans, seizing her moment when B-Fab sent LeRae to the floor like last year’s pumpkin spice. A roll-up later, and Bayley was raising her arms in victory, no confetti cannon necessary.
Looking Ahead
With Bayley advancing, the tournament is shaping up to be as star-studded as an awards show afterparty. The bracket features big names like Bianca Belair, Tiffany Stratton, Jade Cargill (who’s so shiny she might actually be the championship belt), and Naomi. The finals will culminate at the revival of “Saturday Night’s Main Event,” proving WWE hasn’t met a nostalgia play it won’t milk like a Wisconsin dairy farm.
Raw Women Need Not Apply?
Curiously, no “Raw” Superstars are in the tournament, leading to rampant speculation. Will this be a SmackDown-exclusive championship? Or is “Raw” cooking up a mid-card title of its own? Nobody knows, but hey, it’s not like WWE ever leaves us hanging, right? Right?
One thing’s for sure: Bayley is ready to role into the next round. Will the “Role Model” become the inaugural Women’s United States Champion? Or will one of her rivals make her regret ever lacing up her boots? Stay tuned, because this belt chase is heating up faster than Bayley’s Twitter mentions.
