WWE Smackdown results: US Champion Zelina Vega beats Alba Fyre as Chelsea Green's plan backfires
Zelina Vega continued her strong run as the Women's United States Champion with a big win over Alba Fyre on WWE SmackDown. Despite facing plenty of chaos from Chelsea Green and her Secret Hervice, Vega stayed focused and finished the match in style. Earlier in the night, Chelsea Green met Nick Aldis in the hallway, wearing a rainbow face mask and holding a cardboard cutout of her own face. She claimed Vega had attacked her and demanded the title be taken away. Aldis made it clear that Vega would not be stripped and told Chelsea she would get a rematch once she's cleared to compete. Not happy with that answer, Green took matters into her own hands and somehow booked Alba Fyre in a match against Vega. Aldis agreed to make it official.

(Eric Johnson/WWE via Getty Images) (WWE via Getty Images) Jacob Fatu is a WWE singles champion for the first time in his professional wrestling career. "The Samoan Werewolf" won a bruising match over LA Knight on Saturday to capture the WWE United States Championship on WrestleMania 41, Night 1 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Fatu, a longtime member of The Bloodline, brought the thunder from the opening bell, trading heavy, thudding offense with Knight for much of the early portions of the match. Business really picked up once Fatu trapped Knight into the corner of the ring, bashed him with repeated running hips, then nailed a Swanton Bomb from the top rope for the two-count. Advertisement In a slick rebound sequence, Knight countered another top-rope moonsault attempt with a BFT and nearly secured a three-count, however Fatu's arm darted out and grabbed the ropes to save him in the final moments. Fatu then kicked Knight from the top rope and hurled him backward onto the mat, before crushing him with back-to-back top-rope moonsaults to secure the match-ending pinfall. Fatu's victory makes the challengers 3-for-3 against the champions thus far at WrestleMania 41, Night 1, following earlier victories by Jey Uso and The New Day.
