Wrestling veteran slams Triple H's booking of inaugural WWE champion

Triple H's creative regime on WWE's main roster has had a few hits and misses in the past few months. However, Vince Russo slammed The Game and his creative regime for horribly booking Chelsea Green and the mid-card women's division on the blue brand.

The women's division on Friday Night SmackDown received new life last year when the management introduced the WWE Women's United States Championship. In December 2024, Chelsea Green became the inaugural champion and made history in the promotion. However, her run in the company didn't live up to expectations, as the booking went nowhere on the blue brand.

Speaking on Behind The Turnbuckle Studios' The Coach and Bro Show, Vince Russo slammed Triple H and his creative team's choices when it comes to the division and the horrible booking of Chelsea Green. Moreover, he pointed out that the management often fails because they never pull the trigger when they put the title on a rising star in the company, like Green or Giulia.

"You know, we love Chelsea Green. They took the belt off Chelsea. They got it on Giulia, and they took the belt. While that belt was on Giulia, did they build her in any way, shape, or form? Guys, that's horrible booking. You use those belts to get those people over. WWE has done that again and again and again. They put the belt on somebody, and they do nothing with them when they have the title," Russo said.

What does Triple H's creative regime think about the WWE Women's United States Championship?

After WrestleMania 41 in Nevada, Chelsea Green's inaugural reign as the Women's United States Champion came to an end on SmackDown when Zelina Vega won the title. Later, Vega had one successful televised defense before dropping the title to Giulia in Saudi Arabia.

Last week, The Beautiful Madness' reign ended in less than two minutes when Chelsea Green won the title for the second time in nearly a year. According to Fightful Select Answers, the management never had any real plans or cared about the title, and it was only introduced for a feud between Green and Michin.

Moreover, the title was created without any significant creative plans compared to its counterpart on WWE RAW. It'll be interesting to see how Chelsea Green can turn the tide in her favor in her second reign as the champion.
