WWE Women’s United States Championship: Who is the next in line to hold the gold after Jacy Jayne?

Jacy Jayne won the Women’s United States Championship back on the August 14 episode of SmackDown, when she defeated Tiffany Stratton to win the gold.

Since winning the belt, Jacy and Fatal Influence have remained a key part of SmackDown’s women’s division, but with Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid losing the Tag Team Championship to Tatum Paxley and Alexa Bliss, Jacy’s time with the gold could also be numbered.

Here are the potential next Women’s United States Champions.

Charlotte Flair

Charlotte Flair has been a 14 time World Champion during her WWE career, with her still chasing two more to match her father’s legacy.

However, with Alexa and Tatum now reigning as the Tag Team Champions, it would only make sense that Charlotte would be the one to take Jacy’s title, completing the trio all holding gold.

Charlotte has never held a midcard championship since the title’s were introduced, and putting the United States Championship on her would instantly add credibility to the belt.

Paige

Since SummerSlam, Paige has shown interest in attempting to become United States Champion, with her recently challenging Jacy for the title on SmackDown, with her being cost the match by her rival Nikki Bella.

It was recently reported that WWE has been impressed with Nikki Bella’s recent social media numbers, and that could lead to a renewed spotlight on the Hall of Famer going forward.

While it seems unlikely that Nikki will become WWE Women’s Champion, her having a run as United States Champion would also add credibility to the title.

However, Jacy and Nikki are currently both heels, so for Nikki to get the belt, it would likely have to go through Paige first.

Blake Monroe

Blake Monroe is in a similar situation to Nikki Bella, where you would expect that a babyface would have to defeat Jacy for the title before it ends up going to Blake due to her and Jacy both being heels.

However, Blake has finally begun wrestling on SmackDown, with her and Giulia set for a Street Fight on tonight’s episode of the show, which will hopefully continue the momentum of the Glamour.

While a heel vs. heel match wouldn’t be the ideal option, potentially running a three-way with Giulia would allow WWE to switch the belt over to Blake without running her vs. Jacy directly.
