The road to crowning WWE’s first-ever Women’s United States Champion just got a whole lot clearer. On this week’s SmackDown, the semifinal matches lit up Hartford, Connecticut, leaving Michin and Chelsea Green standing tall as they head to Saturday Night’s Main Event for a chance to etch their names into WWE history.
Match 1: Michin vs. Tiffany Stratton
The night opened with Michin and Tiffany Stratton in a clash of styles—grit vs. glitz. While Michin started strong, showing off her scrappy resilience, a misstep onto the apron let Stratton gain control with her signature brand of high-flying athleticism. A near-fall off Stratton’s Prettiest Moonsault Ever left the crowd gasping, but Michin rebounded like a true fighter. One perfectly executed Eat Defeat later, and Michin had punched her ticket to the finals.
Match 2: Chelsea Green vs. Bayley
Chelsea Green and Bayley’s match brought drama worthy of a telenovela. The match started fast, with both women trading pinfall attempts, but the turning point came when Green’s tag partner, Piper Niven, made her presence known. After a heated brawl on the outside between Bayley and Niven, Green capitalized with a devastating Un-Pretty-Her to steal the victory. The upset left Hartford buzzing, and Green was ready to take her antics—and her ambition—to the finals.
The Final Countdown
With Michin chasing her first WWE championship and Chelsea Green looking to add another accolade to her resume, Saturday Night’s Main Event promises fireworks. Will Green’s cunning and tag partner help her claim victory, or will Michin’s grit and determination carry her to the top?
