Chelsea Green is working directly with WWE\'s creative team to elevate the Women\'s US Championship, rejecting the notion that it should be viewed as a midcard title.
The current champion revealed she\'s actively collaborating with creative to restore prestige to the title and ensure it\'s taken as seriously as the Women\'s World Championship.
\"This time around, I\'m trying to make it different while still making it equally entertaining,\" Green explained. \"I want to make sure that I elevate it. I\'ve already been talking to the creative team about how we can kind of do a little damage control on it and make sure that it means something. Let\'s put it on a pedestal, you know? Let\'s elevate it and make it mean something because at the end of the day, it doesn\'t need to be a midcard title. It\'s just a title.\
A Third \"Women\'s World Title\"
Green emphasized that fans should view the US Championship with the same importance as any other women\'s title in WWE.
\"You should equally fear me the way you fear Jade Cargill,\" she said. \"You should equally want my championship the same way that you want the women\'s world championship when you walk into that Royal Rumble.\
The champion also discussed the difference between her first and second US title reigns, noting that her initial run was deeply emotional as she hoped to win the championship in front of friends and family at Survivor Series.
\"My heart and my soul went into that first title reign,\" Green reflected. \"There was so much that I put in that year before I was chosen to win this. So that obviously it\'s a memory that lives rent-free in my head and it will for the rest of my life.\
For her current reign, Green\'s priority remains entertainment:
\"If you know me, you know that entertainment is where I thrive and so I\'m just going to make it as entertaining as I possibly can because that\'s the only thing I have control of.\
Green regained the title from Giulia on the November 7 episode of SmackDown, becoming the first-ever two-time Women\'s US Champion. In the same interview, she discussed ending her underdog narrative and embracing her success.
