Chelsea Green has done an awesome job representing her national counterpart because the inaugural WWE Women’s United States Champion. The Canadian star has entertained within the ring and in promos on “WWE SmackDown”, and “WWE NXT” along together with her tag partner and enforcer Piper Niven, further backed up by Alba Fyre, comprising the “She-cret” Service. While recently speaking with “Adrian Hernandez” on the NASCAR Pennzoil 400, Green reflected on her reign as Women’s US Champion to this point.
So, I just hit 90 days because the first-ever, longest-reigning United States Women’s Champion. I’m very pleased with that; I’m mostly proud because I feel that this belt just goes to indicate how amazing women in sport are doing,” Green said. “We saw an enormous resurgence of ladies in sport in 2024. We saw the WNBA pop off, right? Like, they’re filling up stadiums. We have seen rugby, women’s rugby; I didn’t even really know that existed. We have seen women in soccer take off with all the opposite things that they are doing of their profession.”
Green’s comments ring true because the WNBA set viewership, attendance, and merchandise records last season, with the league seeing 54 million unique views within the 2024 campaign. The typical attendance for NWSL games across the league was 11,000 last yr, with 2 million people having attended games in 2024 for an all-time season high. Unmentioned by Green was the PWHL, which has seen sellouts and record-breaking crowds for skilled women’s hockey for the reason that league’s inception.
“I just feel like that is one other aspect of us saying, ‘We are able to refill stadiums. Us as women, we will refill stadiums; we will have pay-per-views, and this proves it: right here, we just shattered one other glass ceiling.’ So, that is why it’s really special to me personally,” Green remarked.
