The post-WWE Saturday Night's Main Event XLI edition of Friday Night SmackDown saw a massive championship swap that fans expected least at this point.Chelsea Green was set to lock horns with Giulia for the Women's United States Championship. Surprisingly, the bout between the two women ended controversially within a minute. The Hot Mess used her heel antics, rolled the Japanese star, and pinned her with her legs on the middle rope, causing more impact, and was crowned as the new champion.That said, Green ended Beautiful Madness's 133-day reign and has now become a double champion, holding both the Women's US and AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championships.In this article, we will examine three reasons why Chelsea captured the title once again, securing a squash win over Giulia:#3. The Beautiful Madness wasn't adding much as the WWE ChampionThe 31-year-old held the Women's United States Championship for 133 days and had Kiana James as her associate; however, Giulia still failed as a titleholder, as there have been very few moments when she would have run as champion on Friday Night SmackDown.That said, the Triple H-led creative team may have finally given up on the Japanese superstar as their mid-card champion and, to keep the title relevant, crowned Green as the two-time Women's US champion.#2. The Hot Mess is more reliable as a mid-card titleholderChelsea won the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship alongside NXT's Ethan Page, and tonight on WWE SmackDown, she created history by winning the Women's United States title for the second time in her career.Last year, a tournament was held to crown the first-ever women's mid-card champion on both brands for the women's IC and US straps. On the blue brand, the Canadian Star reached the finals alongside Michin and became the inaugural Women's United States Champion.Earlier this year, she lost the belt to Zelina Vega, who eventually dropped the WWE title to Giulia, and now the gold is back where it belongs. Compared to the other two champions, Green was the most prominent; she helped to elevate the championship to new levels.The creative team may have put the strap back on her, as she has proven to be a more reliable candidate for the mid-card gold.#1. New plans for the former NXT ChampionWorld Wrestling Entertainment pushed the Japanese star to new heights as she became the Women's NXT champion and was quickly drafted on Friday Night SmackDown.While she had a pretty successful run on the black-and-silver brand, her stint on the blue brand hasn't been impressive, despite being a heel superstar.Triple H and his team may have finally decoded that things aren't sitting well with the Beautiful Madness, and she might need a character change, and putting the WWE strap off her could be the start of the evolution. She might soon turn babyface.That said, the points compiled above are purely based on personal speculation, and nothing has been officially confirmed yet.
