After weeks of prosecution, we finally have a brand new female champion in the United States.
Last year in December, at the main Saturday evening event, fans saw Chelsea Green to defeat Michin to become the very first female champion of the United States. After being champion for 132 days, Green finally lost gold in the April 25 episode of Smackdown.
The former member of the LWO, Zelina Vega, has become a coherent challenger for the American Green championship in recent weeks. The swing twice in two unit games, Vega repeated the feat this evening in the absence of Piper Niven and Alba Fyre of Green’s Corner.
Perseverance and hard work will always reach the summit …
