Despite Chelsea Green's surging popularity and historic reign as the inaugural WWE Women's United States Champion, she was surprisingly absent from the WrestleMania 41 match card. Potential matchups against established stars like Bayley, Trish Stratus, and Nikki Bella were explored, highlighting missed opportunities for Green to showcase her talent on a grand stage.

Chelsea Green has not been booked for the WrestleMania 41 match card despite being a popular figure in the company.
Chelsea Green has become one of the most popular and captivating WWE superstars of all time. The Hot Mess is a must-see sight on Friday Night SmackDown every week. In December 2024, Green made history by becoming the first-ever WWE Women's United States Champion. Her title reign has been remarkable so far, with Green molding her character to a USA inspired figure and being protected by her Secret Service, Piper Niven and Alba Fyre.
Despite her rising popularity, Chelsea Green has not been booked for a match at WrestleMania 41 which comes as a surprise to many. With the show only days away, the chances are looking even more unlikely. However, Chelsea Green would have stolen the show if given that chance, and here are three matches where she could have done that:

3. Bayley

Bayley is one of the most established names on the WWE roster today. She has claimed multiple championships, accolades and is one of the top-tier WWE superstars of the modern era. The Role Model is known to put stellar matches on big stages like WrestleMania and she could have done the same with Chelsea Green if they were booked to battle. A US title match between Bayley and Chelsea Green could have been a great addition to the WrestleMania 41 card.

2. Trish Stratus

A legendary name who recently crossed paths with Chelsea Green on SmackDown could have been an excellent opponent for her at WrestleMania 41. That is none other than Trish Stratus. The WWE Hall of Famer had a brief segment with Chelsea Green that also involved Tiffany Stratton. Moreover, Stratus returning to compete at WrestleMania after her excellent showing at the 2025 Elimination Chamber PLE could have been a major push for Chelsea Green had the match been booked.

1. Nikki Bella

The one opponent Chelsea Green expressed her desire to face at WrestleMania 41 was Nikki Bella. The Fearless One made her return to WWE as part of the 2025 WWE Women's Royal Rumble match and proved that she had a lot of gas left in the tank. Moreover, Green even proposed to have a 'Hair vs Hair' match against Bella to raise the stakes. Regardless of the stipulation, a major US title match between Nikki Bella and Chelsea Green would have been a marquee showdown for the WrestleMania 41 card.
