Chelsea Green has officially re-signed with WWE, putting an end to months of speculation about her contract status. During a candid appearance on the GabbyAF podcast, Green casually revealed that she signed a new deal keeping her on WWE’s roster through 2030, confirming rumors that had been swirling backstage for some time.
A Strategic Multi-Year Deal
Originally signed in late 2022 on a three-year contract, Chelsea Green’s initial deal was set to expire toward the end of 2025. However, WWE executives proactively approached her well before the expiration date. Reports confirmed in early 2025 that Green inked a five-year contract extension that will keep her under WWE’s banner for the next half-decade.
This new agreement marks a strong vote of confidence from WWE:
- Signed in January 2025
- Extends her contract through at least early 2030
- Reflects WWE’s commitment to one of its brightest female talents on the SmackDown brand
According to Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp—who has extensively covered the WWE contract scene—WWE officials initiated talks early to secure Green’s services, illustrating the company’s intent to build around her versatility and popularity[2][7].
Rising Star on Multiple Fronts
Since her WWE return in early 2023—marked by a surprise entry in the Women’s Royal Rumble match—Chelsea Green rapidly established herself as a key singles and tag team competitor. A career highlight came in December 2024 when she became the inaugural WWE Women’s United States Champion, capturing the title at Saturday Night’s Main Event by defeating Michin[1]. Green’s championship run elevated her status and showcased her in-ring prowess and charismatic character work.
In addition to singles success, Chelsea has been a pivotal part of tag team competition, holding the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship alongside Sonya Deville and more recently with Piper Niven after Sonya’s injury. She also formed a faction named The Green Regime, alongside Piper Niven and Alba Fyre, further expanding her presence on WWE programming[1].
Sources close to WWE suggest that Green’s ability to cross over between brands is a significant factor in her value. She currently appears regularly on SmackDown, NXT, and even AAA, proving her utility as a multi-brand performer[3]. A WWE insider shared:
“Chelsea brings a level of reliability and adaptability that WWE needs right now. She can be plugged into any show and role seamlessly, which is why securing her long-term was a priority.”[4]
Beyond the Ring: Representing WWE Across Platforms
Though Chelsea Green admits she isn’t currently on a strict creative storyline path, she has found satisfaction representing WWE in various capacities outside pure competition. On the GabbyAF podcast, Green expressed her contentment with her role:
“I’m so happy here. And I’m okay to take a moment and fill my days and my weeks with like media and traveling to represent WWE as more of like the face.”[3]
Her frequent appearances across different WWE and partner brands underscore her position as a versatile ambassador. This wide exposure increases her fan base and maintains her relevance even during periods without a consistent title chase.
What’s Next for Chelsea Green?
With this five-year extension solidified, speculation is growing among wrestling fans and insiders about when Green might be pushed toward the WWE Women’s Championship picture. While she respects that wins are not the sole measure of value, her track record suggests that a major singles title run could be forthcoming.
Industry experts and sources hint that WWE sees Green as a long-term asset poised to become a cornerpiece of the women’s division. According to a backstage source:
“Chelsea’s contract extension is not just a retention; it’s a commitment to build her into a future star. The company believes she can carry storylines and elevate others around her.”[1][4]
As WWE continues to evolve its women’s roster, Green’s multifaceted talent—combining athleticism, charisma, and media savvy—makes her an ideal candidate for higher-profile roles in the coming years.
Chelsea Green: A Success Story of Resilience and Growth
Chelsea Green’s WWE journey hasn’t been without hurdles. After an initial release in April 2021 amidst company budget cuts, she was re-signed following creative and leadership changes within WWE, specifically under Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque’s influence as Chief Content Officer[2]. Since then, she has steadily climbed the ranks and earned a solid reputation for professionalism and consistency.
The new contract solidifies her status as a core part of WWE’s women’s division moving forward, with the promotion banking on her continuing to evolve as a performer on and off screen.
