The WWE Women's United States Championship is an upcoming professional wrestling championship created and promoted by the American promotion WWE. It will be a secondary women's championship on WWE's main roster. The title was announced during the November 8, 2024, episode of SmackDown with the inaugural champion to be crowned in a tournament final at Saturday Night's Main Event on December 14, 2024.
History
The American professional wrestling promotion WWE was founded in April 1963, but it never had a secondary women's championship until the NXT Women's North American Championship was introduced for the developmental brand NXT in April 2024. In turn, later that year during the November 8, 2024, episode of SmackDown, the brand's general manager Nick Aldis unveiled the WWE Women's United States Championship to be a secondary championship for the women's division on the main roster, countering the men's WWE United States Championship.
Prior to the November 15 episode of SmackDown, general manager Nick Aldis announced that tournament matches to determine the inaugural champion would begin on that night's episode. WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque subsequently revealed the tournament bracket, featuring 12 women from the SmackDown roster in four triple threat matches for the first round, with the winners of each advancing to the semifinals in singles matches with those winners then facing off in the tournament final at the Saturday Night's Main Event special on December 14, 2024. Tournament participants include Bayley, B-Fab, Candice LeRae, Bianca Belair, Chelsea Green, Blair Davenport, Jade Cargill, Michin, Piper Niven, Naomi, Tiffany Stratton, and Elektra Lopez. Bayley advanced to the semifinals by defeating B-Fab and LeRae and she will face the winner of the match between Belair, Green, and Davenport.

Belt design
The belt design is identical to the men's version, but like all women's championships in WWE, it is smaller and on a white strap and it has small text that reads "Women's" placed above the words "United States". Like all of WWE's other championship belts, the two side plates feature a removable center section which can be customized with the champion's logos; the default side plates feature a WWE logo over a red globe.
