Semifinals Set In WWE US Women’s Title Tournament
There are four women left in the tournament to crown WWE’s first United States Women’s Champion.
A 12-woman tournament was announced on the SmackDown brand to determine who will be the first WWE US Women’s Champion in company history.
Since there were 12 women in the tournament, four triple threat matches were set up to determine the first champion.
The winners of the first three triple threat matches were former WWE Women’s Champion Bayley, Chelsea Green, and Michin. While Bayley has a lot of experience as a former Women’s Champion, Green, and Michin have yet to hold singles gold.
In a triple threat match on the December 6th episode of SmackDown, Naomi faced off against Elektra Lopez and Miss Money in the Bank Tiffany Stratton, who was cheered by the fans in her home state of Minnesota. Naomi nearly had the match with a top rope moonsault on Lopez, but Stratton broke up the pin with a senton splash. After Stratton sent Naomi out of the ring, Stratton hit the Prettiest Moonsault Ever on Lopez for the pinfall win.
That victory by Stratton set up two US Women’s Title tournament semifinal matches on the December 13th episode of SmackDown: Bayley vs. Chelsea Green and Michin vs. Tiffany Stratton.
