LAS VEGAS – Chelsea Green has been one of the hardest working pro wrestlers in WWE since returning to the company in 2023 and has been putting together history making moments.
Green was the first female United States champion in the belt’s history and the first to hold multiple reigns. She’s been knocked off ladders and trashed, yet a string of bad luck has kept her off the WrestleMania card for the past three years.

WWE star Alba Fyre, who is part of Green’s Secret Hervice, told Pakinomist Digital that she would have liked to see the Canadian star on the card.
“You know we’re always on the hunt for Chelsea,” Fyre said. “Obviously I’m a big fan of Chelsea, but I think it’s a shame she’s not on the card this year. She should be the headliner.”
This year it was a little out of her hands.

Green suffered an ankle injury in the months leading up to WrestleMania 42. She hasn’t been in the ring for a few weeks, but still remained on screen. She was seen on “Friday Night SmackDown” recently trying to corner Tiffany Stratton, who herself is eyeing the United States Championship in a match with Giulia.
Green was off the card for WrestleMania 40 and 41. She last appeared at the event in a fatal four-way tag team match with Sonya Deville at WrestleMania 39.
