Chelsea Green Claims Her WWE United States Title Reign Tops Hulk Hogan and Roman Reigns

Chelsea Green is feeling herself—and her reign—as WWE Women’s United States Champion, and she’s not shy about it. After making history at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14, Green is now embracing the idea that her championship run is already surpassing the likes of Hulk Hogan, Bruno Sammartino, and Roman Reigns.

It all started with a fan on Twitter, @davesitkow, who wrote: “It’s only been 9 days but I can’t help but feel that Chelsea’s title run is more impressive than much longer reigns such as Hogan, Bruno & Roman’s. It just feels that way, Is it just me?”

Green’s response? Pure Chelsea confidence: “No Dave, we all feel that way.”

The comment lit up social media, with fans debating whether Green’s reign, barely a week old, can be compared to some of the most legendary runs in wrestling history. Love her or hate her, Green’s knack for stirring up conversations is undeniable.

Her victory over Michin to become the first-ever WWE Women’s United States Champion was one of the standout moments of Saturday Night’s Main Event, a show that drew an impressive 2.3 million viewers across NBC and Peacock. Chelsea wasted no time taking credit, tweeting, “That’s what happens when your fave future Hall of Famer wins the inaugural championship.”

Fans may disagree over where her reign stacks up in the annals of WWE history, but there’s no denying Green’s ability to keep her name—and her title—front and center.
