WWE US women's champion Chelsea Green pitches incredible Cardi B WrestleMania idea ahead of 2025 Royal Rumble
WWE United States women's champion Chelsea Green has a huge idea for a grand entrance and it involves rap sensation Cardi B.
WWE recently had Travis Scott walk Jey Uso out in one of the greatest entrances in wrestling history on the premiere episode of Raw on Netflix, sending the crowd crazy at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.
After Scott came out to his hit track 'Fein' while smoking a blunt live on air, Uso's music hit and the two came down from the rafters to the ring as the whole arena 'Yeeted' like it was a concert.
Scott has written and performed the new theme song for the flagship show and his appearance followed up cameos from legends Snoop Dogg and Lil Wayne in recent years.

However, there could well be another incredible rap entrance on the horizon if new US women's champion Green has her way.
The 33-year-old has grown into one of the most entertaining performers in WWE and she is now pitching for unfiltered New York rapper Cardi B to perform her theme song on the big stage.
While Green does have interest in actress and WWE superfan Vanessa Hudgens walking her out to the ring after she pledged allegiance, a live performance from the only female rapper with the most number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100.
"Cardi B or Vanessa Hudgens," she told SPORTbible in an exclusive interview. Either one. I'm just saying Vanessa Hudgens because now I know her, we're kind of friends - she loves me and pledged her allegiance.
But if Vanessa Hudgens wasn't available, Cardi B. [It would be] mine but she's rapping it. That's what I want! Put it out into the universe, Cardi B rapping me to the ring."
Cardi B's fellow rapper Megan The Stallion is linked to WWE with the new Smackdown theme song, while the Bodak Yellow artist has featured in a promotional video for Summerslam 2025 in MetLife Stadium, New Jersey.
The 32-year-old is also a childhood WWE fan, taking to X, formerly known as Twitter in 2021 to reveal she grew up watching Booker T, Eddie Guerrero, Triple H, Batista, John Cena, Edge, Trish Stratus, Lita and Melina.
Green tips husband to follow in the footsteps of Cody Rhodes
Green is married to fellow wrestler Matt Cardona, who performed in WWE as Zack Ryder and won both the United States and Intercontinental Championship.
His 15-year tenure came to a release in 2020 when he was released from his contract but he has completely reinvented himself on the independent scene and there are rumblings that WWE are interested in bringing him back into the fold.
They did just that in 2022 with Cody Rhodes, who proved himself away from the company and is now a two-time WrestleMania main eventer, as well as the WWE champion and face of the company.
Green has no doubts that Cardona has what it takes to follow in Rhodes' footsteps and even has a pitch for how his return should play out.
"One hundred and ten thousand per cent," Green said.
"I see Matt coming back and having a major return. The place would go nuts and he would sell one million and one shirts.
"I feel like it's the ultimate underdog story. We all witnessed him in WWE as this one character and he has just completely rebranded himself and repackaged himself, coming back as the ultimate heel.
"I can't even imagine if that character was to come into WWE and what it would do. Let's manifest this, Matt Cardona returns but he comes back and helps me retain my United States women's championship at WrestleMania.
"It's me and Cardi B at first, then Cardi B leaves me so it can be my time and then Matt comes in. Matt gets his moment and then he can leave so it can be my time again."
WWE Royal Rumble airs live on Netflix in the U.K this Saturday February 1 from 11pm.
