Bayley Advances in Women’s U.S. Title Tournament; Brackets Revealed – The brackets for the inaugural WWE Women’s United States Championship tournament have officially been revealed. Triple H announced the tournament setup on social media ahead of 11/15 WWE SmackDown, showcasing the path competitors will take toward the historic title. The first-ever champion will be crowned at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14.
The tournament began with Bayley defeating B-Fab and Candice LeRae in a triple-threat match on SmackDown, securing her spot in the semifinals. She will face the winner of an upcoming triple-threat match featuring Bianca Belair, Chelsea Green, and Blair Davenport.
On the other side of the bracket, Jade Cargill is set to face Michin and Piper Niven in another triple-threat contest. The final first-round match pits Naomi against Tiffany Stratton and Elektra Lopez.
The WWE Women’s United States Championship was introduced last week on SmackDown, marking another significant step in expanding the opportunities for women’s competition in WWE. With the Women’s North American Championship already established in NXT earlier this year—where Kelani Jordan became the inaugural titleholder—there has been speculation about whether WWE plans to introduce additional women’s championships, such as a Women’s Intercontinental Title for RAW.
As the tournament unfolds, fans can anticipate high-stakes matchups and intense competition as WWE continues to elevate its women’s division. The crowning of the first WWE Women’s United States Champion is set to be a milestone event on December 14.
