Veteran wrestling writer Vince Russo has recently shared his opinions on the future of WWE’s women’s division, specifically regarding the prospects of fan-favorite Chelsea Green and rising star Lyra Valkyria. In an episode of Wrestling’s Writing with Russo, Russo expressed doubts that WWE would push Green to the top, despite her impressive performances since joining the company in 2023.
Russo attributed his skepticism not to a lack of talent on Green’s part, but rather to the unpredictable nature of WWE’s creative department. He suggested that even the most promising superstars can have their momentum derailed by poor booking decisions. Despite this, Russo acknowledged Green’s ability to create her own legacy, implying that she has the potential to succeed regardless of WWE’s plans.
On the other hand, Russo sees Lyra Valkyria as a more likely candidate for a top spot in the women’s division. Having been called up to the main roster as part of the 2024 Draft, Valkyria has already made a name for herself as a former NXT Women’s Champion. Russo believes that WWE could be setting her up for a high-profile feud by having her win the Women’s Money in the Bank contract.
Green, meanwhile, is set to face off against Women’s Champion Bayley on the upcoming episode of SmackDown, providing her with an opportunity to prove herself as a top contender. However, Russo’s comments raise questions about WWE’s long-term plans for the 33-year-old wrestler. Will Green be able to overcome any perceived creative hurdles and cement her place among the top stars of the women’s division, or will WWE focus on developing newer talent like Valkyria?
Only time will tell what the future holds for Chelsea Green in WWE. As the women’s division continues to evolve, fans will be watching closely to see how Green’s career unfolds, and whether or not WWE will give her the push she deserves.
