Vince Russo, the former WWE head writer, has been following the ongoing WWE Women’s United States Championship tournament with great interest, particularly the performances of Chelsea Green, who has managed to impress him. On the latest episode of BroDown on Backstage Pass, Russo discussed Chelsea’s chances of becoming the inaugural Women’s United States Champion, expressing his hope that she would be the one to achieve this feat.
Russo’s enthusiasm for Chelsea Green stems from her recent performance in a Triple Threat match on SmackDown, where she emerged victorious against Piper Niven and Michin. While the outcome of the match was unexpected, Russo believes that WWE missed an opportunity to turn Piper Niven into a babyface by having Chelsea Green win instead. According to him, a Piper Niven victory would have created a more interesting dynamic, making Chelsea Green the face of the tournament.
Russo’s reasoning for this is that Piper Niven is already a well-established wrestler in the WWE, and her victory would have generated more excitement among fans. On the other hand, Michin, the actual winner of the Triple Threat match, is not a well-known or popular wrestler, making her victory less impactful. Russo’s point is that WWE should have used the opportunity to create a storyline by having Piper Niven screw Chelsea Green, turning the latter into a babyface and creating a potential rivalry between the two.
Russo’s comments on the match outcome and his hopes for Chelsea Green’s future in the tournament have raised questions about the direction WWE might take in the coming weeks. Will Chelsea Green continue to be a fan favorite, or will WWE choose to pursue a different storyline? The tournament is still ongoing, and it remains to be seen how the storylines will unfold.
In the meantime, fans are left to speculate about the potential for a Chelsea vs. Piper storyline. Will WWE plant the seeds for this rivalry, or will they choose to focus on a different narrative? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: Chelsea Green has become a fan favorite, and her performance in the tournament has captured the attention of Vince Russo and many other wrestling enthusiasts.
It is worth noting that the opinions expressed by Vince Russo are subjective and based on his own analysis of the situation. His comments should be taken in the context of his experience as a former WWE head writer and his passion for wrestling. The ultimate direction of the WWE Women’s United States Championship tournament will depend on the creative decisions made by the WWE management team, including Triple H, who is overseeing the tournament.
