Chelsea Green has become a notable figure in WWE‘s women’s division due to her strong fan support, even though her win record remains modest. Wrestling veteran Vince Russo has suggested that Green’s “bulletproof status” with the audience is ironically limiting her progress within WWE.
Since returning to WWE, Green has consistently received positive reactions from live crowds. However, the creative team has yet to capitalize on this momentum, as she frequently ends up losing matches. This trend continued on RAW, where she was pinned in a multi-woman tag team contest despite her popularity.
Vince Russo Explains the Drawback of Green’s Fan Support
On Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Legion of RAW podcast, Vince Russo discussed how Chelsea Green’s overwhelming fan support impacts her booking. Russo emphasized that her ability to connect with the crowd regardless of match outcomes has backfired, creating a “curse” rather than an advantage in her WWE career.
“You know what it is? She got the bulletproof label, man. She got the bulletproof label. No matter what you do to Chelsea, she’s gonna get herself over. That’s a curse, man. It should be a blessing.” —Vince Russo, Wrestling Veteran
Background on Chelsea Green’s Career Achievements
Green’s accomplishments include becoming WWE’s inaugural Women’s United States Champion last year. Her title reign lasted 132 days before she lost the championship, but she has continued to maintain a strong connection with fans despite mixed results inside the ring.
Implications for Chelsea Green’s Future in WWE
The contrast between Chelsea Green’s fan acclaim and the company‘s booking choices highlights a challenge many wrestlers face when crowd reactions don’t align with storyline directions. Resolving this could be key for Green to transition her bulletproof fan status into consistent victories and higher-profile opportunities in WWE moving forward.
