Chelsea Green reacts to popular WWE star naming her the favorite to win the Women's United States Champion
A popular WWE star recently named Chelsea Green their favorite to become the inaugural Women's United States Champion. SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis unveiled the new title on the November 8 edition of the blue brand's show.
Chelsea Green has become a crowd favorite lately, thanks to her impressive character work. The 33-year-old, however, does not have many wins under her belt. Despite this, backstage interviewer Cathy Kelley named The Hot Mess her pick to win the recently introduced championship.
During her appearance on Late AF Production's B4 the Bell podcast, Cathy Kelley was asked for her pick to become the inaugural Women's United States Champion. In response, the 36-year-old chose Green and stated that the latter would be upset if she didn't. The former WWE Women's Tag Team Champion recently took to her X (FKA Twitter) account to note that Kelley was correct.
"And @catherinekelley was correct," she wrote.
