    In the latest episode of WWE SmackDown, Chelsea Green and Tiffany Stratton locked horns in a tag team match against The Irresistible Forces. The match concluded with Nia Jax pinning Chelsea and defeating the babyface team.

    This was a major surprise, as Green, the reigning Women’s Champion, was pinned for the second time since becoming champion. In this listicle, we will explore three reasons why The Hot Mess got pinned on the blue brand.

    #3. To set up a WWE title match with Nia Jax

    Since Chelsea Green won the WWE Women’s Championship, Nia Jax has been getting a decent push on SmackDown. With the developments over the past few weeks, it seems that the Triple H-led creative regime could be planning to put The Irresistible Force in a title bout soon.

    Pinning the 35-year-old will lead to a title feud between the two stars. So, what happened on SmackDown could be a strategic move by the Stamford-based promotion to set up a Women’s Championship match for Jax.

    #2. Planting seeds for Tiffany Stratton’s betrayal

    Tiffany Stratton is no longer the Women’s United States Champion, as Jacy Jayne dethroned her. Following this, the company is slowly teasing a potential betrayal of Green by The Buff Barbie.

    Tiffany and Chelsea are currently working as an alliance on the blue brand, but jealousy could end their friendship. Stratton may betray The Hot Mess to get a title shot against her.

    Chelsea Green getting pinned again on SmackDown might lead Tiffy Time to become frustrated with having a weak Women’s Champion. As a result, she might betray her friend and decide to take the title from her.

    So, to plant the seeds for this betrayal angle, WWE may have booked Chelsea Green to get pinned on the blue brand.

    #1. Selling her injury

    The Irresistible Forces prove to be too much and pick up the WIN! 💪 @LinaFanene | @lashlegendwwe

    After winning the Women’s Championship at WWE SummerSlam, Chelsea Green suffered an orbital bone injury in a tag team match on SmackDown. Following this, Nick Aldis issued an ultimatum to the Women’s Champion to get medically cleared and fulfill her duties as champion.

    There was even a mask on Green’s face. This proves she is still not 100% fit for the squared circle. Selling her injury is another reason she gets pinned on SmackDown. WWE could be trying to show that the beloved star isn’t fully fit for in-ring competition, leading to Nia Jax pinning her.
