Chelsea Green says WWE could be doing more with Womenâ€s mid-card titles

blank

Chelsea Green believes WWE could be doing more with the Womenâ€s Intercontinental and United States Championships.

Green, the inaugural WWE Womenâ€s United States Champion, spoke to CinemaBlend recently and said she would like to see the titles defended more often on WWE programming.

Green said:

“I definitely am so happy that we introduced those titles, because I felt like for a long time we were missing opportunities for a bunch of the girls. We just have such a stacked roster between Raw SmackDown, NXT. I mean, now we’ve got ID, we’ve got Evolve, we’ve got LFG. We have so many different brands, and we just didn’t have enough titles to really represent all the girls and the variety of women.”

“I think that they’ve been a beautiful addition in terms of getting people in the mix, getting women to have a spot on TV.”

She continued:

“Do I think that we’re doing all we can with them? No. I would love to see more being done with them. I want Giulia to be wrestling on TV every single week with that title. I wanted Zelina on TV every single week. I want Michin to win the title and be on TV every single week. There’s so many hours of WWE, and we can find a place for those championships if we try. It’s tough.”

Green won the inaugural WWE Womenâ€s United States Championship on the December 14, 2024 edition of Saturday Nightâ€s Main Event, beating Michin in the finals of a tournament. The WWE Womenâ€s Intercontinental Championship was introduced the following month, with Lyra Valkyria defeating Dakota Kai to become the first champion. Her full interview with CinemaBlend is available here.

Also concerning Green, she recently commented on a post that was critical of Nia Jax, writing, “The internet not knowing that Nia is one of the best is the biggest travesty. Weâ€re lucky to have her as a locker room leader.”

Tottenham Hotspur player given green light to play AGAINST Thomas Frank’s side in Champions League

Spurs welcome Villarreal to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday evening as the Champions League gets underway for another season.

Thomas Frank will make his managerial debut in the competition proper, after predecessor Ange Postecoglou led Spurs to Europa League victory at the end of 2024-25.

Tottenham’s league phase draw has pitted them against several top sides across Europe, including Spanish outfit Villarreal who are first to visit North London.

Ahead of the transfer deadline earlier this month, Spurs allowed surplus-to-requirements winger Manor Solomon to join Villarreal on a season-long loan.

The former Leeds United loanee, who excelled in the Championship last term, is yet to make his debut for ‘The Yellow Submarine’ but could feasibly do so against his parent club Spurs.

This is because unlike English football in which the rules prohibit players from competing in matches against their parent clubs, UEFA competition allows it.

According to UEFA rules, a loan player is eligible to face their parent club in European competition as long as the loan agreement doesn’t include a clause preventing it and the host club has the player registered and cleared to play.

Solomon is included in Villarreal’s ‘List A’ squad for the league phase, as is ex-Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey.

The 26-year-old Israeli winger was an unused substitute at the weekend as Villarreal were beaten by Atletico Madrid.
