Who Should Be the First WWE Women’s US Champion?
Explore the top contenders for the first-ever WWE Women’s US Championship, including Michin, Chelsea Green, Candice LeRae, and Raquel Rodriguez.
WWE has made history by introducing the Women’s United States Championship for the first time on SmackDown. The announcement was made by WWE General Manager Nick Aldis during the 11/08 show. While the title has been revealed, it hasn’t been awarded to anyone yet. Now, let’s look at some of the top women wrestlers who could become the first-ever Women’s US Champion.
Mia Yim (Michin)
Michin, who joined WWE in 2018, is a highly skilled wrestler known for her striking and submission abilities. She trained in Muay Thai and Taekwondo with experts like Shayna Baszler and Jessamyn Duke. Although she left WWE in 2021 to work on the independent circuit, she made a big return in 2022 by attacking Rhea Ripley and joining The O.C. (AJ Styles, Karl Anderson, and Luke Gallows). After being drafted to SmackDown in 2023, Michin’s talent and hard work could help her win the inaugural US Championship and give her career a huge boost.
Chelsea Green
Chelsea Green is another strong contender for the first-ever Women’s US Title. She returned to WWE at the 2023 Royal Rumble and has been making an impact since. Known for her confident attitude and excellent in-ring skills, Chelsea became the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion with Sonya Deville in 2023. She is currently part of SmackDown and is paired with Piper Niven. With her sassy personality and wrestling ability, she would be a great fit for the US Title.
Candice LeRae
Candice LeRae is another wrestler who deserves to be the first Women’s US Champion. Despite her smaller size, she is known for her fighting spirit and never backs down from a challenge. Candice made history as the first WWE Women’s Speed Champion. With her tag partner Indi Hartwell recently leaving WWE, Candice is now focusing on her singles career. Her recent matches against top wrestlers like Bayley show that she’s ready for bigger challenges, and winning the Women’s US Championship could be a great next step in her career.
Raquel Rodriguez
Raquel Rodriguez is an impressive wrestler with several titles to her name, including being a three-time WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion and a former NXT Women’s Champion. After a break from wrestling, she returned in 2024 and became part of the Judgment Day faction. Raquel’s incredible strength and dominance in the ring make her a powerful contender for the Women’s US Championship. If she wins, she will bring even more power to the Judgment Day faction, which already holds the Women’s World Title and the World Tag Team titles.
