Bayley, the WWE Women’s Triple Crown Champion and the first Women’s Grand Slam Champion, has set her sights on yet another accolade – becoming the inaugural WWE Women’s United States Champion. The tournament kicked off earlier this month, with Bayley advancing to the semi-finals after winning a SmackDown Triple Threat match against Candice LeRae and B-Fab. She will face Chelsea Green, who defeated Bianca Belair and Blair Davenport to advance, in the next round.
Bayley’s Instagram Stories recently featured a photo of the Women’s Intercontinental Championship, which Adam Pearce revealed on this week’s RAW. The new title will be a red brand championship, similar to the Women’s United States Championship on SmackDown. Bayley, who is still a member of the SmackDown roster, has been hanging around the red brand for the build to Survivor Series: WarGames, fueling speculation that she might be angling to join the RAW roster.
In a recent post, Bayley shared a photo of the Women’s Intercontinental Championship with the caption “hungry,” indicating her desire to add another championship to her collection. This development raises questions about her commitment to the SmackDown Women’s Championship, which she currently holds along with Rhea Ripley, who she is tied with for the longest reign at 379 days.
Speaking of Ripley, the two are set to compete in the WarGames match this Saturday at Survivor Series, alongside IYO SKY, Naomi, and Bianca Belair, taking on Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton, and Candice LeRae. This marks Bayley’s third appearance in the WarGames match, following her debuts in 2022 and 2023. Despite her WarGames commitments, Bayley seems focused on winning the inaugural Women’s United States Championship.
The semi-finals of the tournament are set to take place, with Bayley and Green facing off to earn a spot in the finals at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14. The outcome will have a significant impact on the WWE Women’s divisions, as the winner will secure a crucial championship and potentially shape the future of the brand.
