I too have said Jade (along with Bianca) should be nowhere that US title. And the whole notion that she should've gone to NXT 1st is also trash.
I'm pulling for Michin. My only issue with Chelsea is this. Yes...that woman has been putting in WORK. You give this woman 10sec of tv time, and she will make it gold. The issue lies wit her character, and the jokey nature of it. It served it purpose b4 the belt. But if she is the 1st, how serious are folks gonna take her as champ?
Piper as the 1st champ...cool. Her demeanor comes off as a dominant threat. Chelsea...no. This chick runs around most of the time scared af of everyone she faces. But she's suppose to be taken serious as champion? I mean IF she does win...I hope she proves me wrong, and has a great reign. Cuz she's definitely one of the talent who's hard work been paying off.
Now if Michin wins...then Michin needs 2 things:
a serious threat to her title
a serious feud that'll help put her over wit fans
