WWE SmackDown: Nick Aldis Issues Ultimatum to Chelsea Green; The MFTs Claim Tag Team Titles
WWE SmackDown delivered a packed night at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, with two title changes and a major match announcement. Nick Aldis, the SmackDown General Manager, gave Chelsea Green 30 days to get medically cleared and defend her WWE Women's Title — or risk losing it, according to TPWW.
Green had suffered a broken orbital bone and was initially told she would have to give up the title. Aldis instead let her keep it, saying it was hers until someone took it from her. She now has 30 days to return to the ring.
Jacy Jayne Shocks Tiffany Stratton to Win Women's U.S. Title
Jacy Jayne is the new WWE Women's United States Champion. She defeated Tiffany Stratton on SmackDown, ending Stratton's 112-day reign, according to 411mania. This is Jayne's first title reign in WWE.
Jayne did not win alone. Her Fatal Influence stablemates helped her get the job done, according to Wrestling Inc. Stratton was already hurt going into the match. Wrestling Noticias called it the biggest win of Jayne's WWE career so far.
The MFTs Capture WWE Tag Team Gold in Triple Threat
Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga, known as The MFTs, are the new WWE Tag Team Champions. They won the titles in a Triple Threat match, according to TPWW. They beat both War Raiders (Ivar and Erik) and the team of R-Truth and Damian Priest in one match.
Winning a Triple Threat means you only need to pin one person to win. The MFTs took full advantage. It is a major title win for the two brothers on the SmackDown roster.
Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton Set for September 6 Main Event
WWE has officially set Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton for the Sunday Night's Main Event show on September 6, according to TPWW. The match pits two of WWE's biggest stars against each other in what figures to be a marquee bout.
Sunday Night's Main Event is one of WWE's premier televised events. Putting Rhodes and Orton together gives the show a strong headline match. No stipulation has been announced yet for the September 6 showdown.
Chelsea Green Has 30 Days to Save Her Championship
Chelsea Green's title future is now on a clock. Aldis gave her a 30-day window to get medically cleared and defend the WWE Women's Title. Green broke her orbital bone, which is the bone around the eye socket — a serious injury that keeps her out of action.
The ruling gives Green a chance to hold onto her title while she heals. If she cannot get cleared in time, she could still lose the title without stepping in the ring. The 30-day deadline puts real pressure on her comeback timeline.
