Chelsea Green Sidelined from Third Consecutive WrestleMania as Alba Fyre Calls for Headliner Status

WWE personality Chelsea Green will miss WrestleMania for the third year in a row after suffering an ankle injury, a setback for the inaugural Women’s United States Champion. Fellow wrestler Alba Fyre has publicly argued that Green deserves headliner treatment at the industry’s biggest annual event.

Chelsea Green, a Canadian-born wrestler who has spent more than a decade building her career across multiple promotions, will once again be absent from WrestleMania, the pro wrestling industry’s marquee annual showcase. The ankle injury adds to a running storyline in her career — one that she herself has acknowledged with self-deprecating humor on social media — where the performer has repeatedly been kept off the card of WWE’s biggest event. Green signed with WWE during the company’s developmental era, was released in 2021, and returned in January 2023 at the Royal Rumble, where she was quickly eliminated in a comedic spot that helped reinvent her on-screen character as a brash, entitled heel.

Her career reached a milestone in 2025 when she became the inaugural Women’s United States Champion, a title WWE introduced to mirror the men’s division and expand championship opportunities across its women’s roster. The creation of the belt reflected a broader effort by WWE, under the creative leadership of Paul Levesque, to elevate women’s storytelling and introduce more diverse championship pathways. Green’s victory in that tournament positioned her as a central figure in the division, making her continued absence from WrestleMania all the more notable to fans who view her as a crossover star with mainstream appeal thanks to her popular podcast and social media presence.

Alba Fyre, the Scottish-born wrestler who competes as part of the tag team Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre, weighed in publicly on Green’s situation, suggesting that her fellow performer’s charisma, in-ring abilities, and cultural footprint warrant top billing at WrestleMania whenever she returns to full health. Fyre’s comments echo a sentiment shared among segments of the fan base, who point to Green’s viral catchphrases, her influence on merchandise sales, and her ability to generate crowd reactions as evidence of main-event potential. Green’s recovery timeline has not been officially disclosed by WWE, though ankle injuries in professional wrestling typically require weeks to months of rehabilitation depending on severity.
