WWE introduced women’s mid-card titles on the main roster in late 2024, making history by adding both the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship and the WWE Women’s United States Championship.

The WWE Women’s United States Championship was first unveiled on SmackDown in November 2024 by General Manager Nick Aldis. The inaugural champion was crowned after a tournament, with Chelsea Green defeating Lyra Valkyria in the finals to become the first WWE Women’s United States Champion.

The following month, the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship debuted, with Lyra Valkyria becoming the inaugural champion in January 2025 by defeating Dakota Kai on Raw. Before these main roster titles, NXT debuted the NXT Women’s North American Championship, serving as the first women’s mid-card title in WWE history in April 2024. Kelani Jordan became the initial champion in June 2024.

Chelsea Green Wants More For Women’s Midcard Titles in WWE

The inaugural WWE Women’s United States Champion, Chelsea Green, shared her thoughts on WWE introducing mid-card titles for women in a recent interview with CinemaBlend:

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.

While Chelsea Green is happy that the women’s division got more titles, she believes WWE is not utilizing them enough on TV.

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.
