WWE is making history with the introduction of the Women’s United States Championship, set to crown its inaugural champion on December 14, 2024. A monthlong tournament featuring top female superstars such as Bayley, Bianca Belair, and Naomi will determine the first-ever champion, marking a significant milestone in WWE's ongoing commitment to expanding its women’s division.
The announcement was made on the November 8 episode of SmackDown, when WWE General Manager Nick Aldis revealed the plans. The tournament, which will run through the coming weeks, promises fierce competition as some of WWE's top female talent battle for the coveted title. Triple H also took to X (formerly Twitter) to unveil the tournament bracket, showcasing the exceptional athletes set to compete for the championship.
The tournament features an impressive lineup of superstars, including:
Bayley
Candice LeRae
BFab
Bianca Belair
Chelsea Green
Blair Davenport
Jade Cargill
Michin
Piper Niven
Naomi
Tiffany Stratton
Elektra Lopez
The first match of the tournament took place on SmackDown, where Bayley emerged victorious in a triplethreat match against BFab and Candice LeRae. As the tournament progresses, anticipation will continue to build, with the champion set to be crowned during Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14.
The creation of the Women’s United States Championship has been highly anticipated by fans, as many have long felt that the women's division was in need of a secondary title. WWE previously expanded its women's division in 2019 with the introduction of the Women's Tag Team Championship.
Triple H spoke about the significance of the new title, stating, "The women of WWE continue to prove they are the best in the business. The introduction of the Women’s United States Championship is a testament to their hard work and dedication,"
With a deep roster of talented competitors and a tournament designed to showcase their skills, WWE fans can look forward to an exciting series of matches leading up to the crowning of the first-ever Women's United States Champion.
