Women’s US Title Match Announced for SmackDown – WWE announces Zelina Vega vs. Chelsea Green for the Women’s United States Championship on the April 25 WrestleMania fallout edition of SmackDown.
WWE has officially added a championship bout to tonight’s post-WrestleMania 41 edition of SmackDown, set to air from the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.
SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis announced this afternoon that Zelina Vega will challenge Chelsea Green for the Women’s United States Championship on the April 25 broadcast. This comes after Vega scored two consecutive wins over the reigning champion—one by pinfall in last week’s non-title match, and the other by count-out due to Green’s accidental mistake.
Chelsea Green made history as WWE’s first Women’s United States Champion when she captured the title in December. However, her reign could be in jeopardy as Vega now carries serious momentum heading into tonight’s contest. This marks Vega’s first televised title opportunity since the debut of the championship.
Green has been vocal about her reign on social media, portraying herself as a trailblazing champion. However, the recent setbacks against Vega have raised questions about her ability to hang onto the title without outside help or controversy.
This championship match adds to an already loaded card for tonight’s WrestleMania fallout show. Here’s the updated lineup for the April 25 edition of WWE SmackDown:
- TLC Match – WWE Tag Team Champions The Street Profits defend against Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin) and DIY (Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa)
- Women’s United States Championship Match – Chelsea Green (c) vs. Zelina Vega
- New Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena appears
- Randy Orton appears
- A 4/25 Debut
Tonight’s show promises fallout from WrestleMania 41 and potentially sets the stage for WWE Backlash, scheduled for May 10 in St. Louis.
