Chelsea Green Challenges Cardi B After Historic WWE Title Win

Chelsea Green is embracing her role as the first-ever WWE Women’s U.S. Champion, and the self-proclaimed “Hot Mess” is already setting her sights on a major celebrity challenge: Cardi B. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Green humorously declared herself the “longest-reigning champion of all time” before throwing down the challenge to the rap superstar.

While Cardi B has yet to step inside a WWE ring, her relationship with the company spans years. In 2021, Cardi’s hit song served as the SummerSlam theme, though plans for her in-ring appearance were scrapped after she announced her pregnancy. Recently, Cardi teamed up with Bianca Belair to promote SummerSlam 2025, which will take place at MetLife Stadium.

Green captured the Women’s U.S. Title at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, defeating Michin in the finals of a 12-woman tournament. The Canadian-born star overcame Bianca Belair and Blair Davenport in the first round before besting Bayley in the semi-finals. Notably, this isn’t the first time the Hot Mess has had Cardi B in her sights.

Celebrity involvement in WWE has been a long-standing tradition, and a potential showdown between Chelsea Green and Cardi B would undoubtedly generate significant mainstream attention. For now, Green continues to celebrate her historic championship win—and, as she humorously points out, her record-setting reign as WWE Women’s U.S. Champion.

Cardi B WWE: The Latest on the Rapper’s Relationship with the Company

Cardi B, the rap megastar, has garnered significant attention from WWE over the years. The company has long been interested in collaborating with mainstream stars like Cardi to bring more entertainment and pop culture appeal to its events. Here’s a breakdown of the latest updates on Cardi B’s relationship with WWE.

WWE’s Interest in Cardi B

WWE’s first major attempt to involve Cardi B dates back to 2021. At the time, the company wanted to use her song for that year’s SummerSlam event, with plans for her to make a live appearance.

Unfortunately, those plans were scrapped when Cardi became pregnant in June 2021, putting a hold on the collaboration. Alongside Cardi, WWE also sought involvement from stars like Megan Thee Stallion and Mike Tyson for the event, showcasing their desire to bring in mainstream celebrities?.

Cardi B’s Recent WWE Involvement

Fast forward to 2024, and WWE’s persistence has finally paid off. Cardi B is now featured prominently in the trailer for SummerSlam 2025, WWE’s first-ever two-night SummerSlam event. In the promotional video, Cardi teamed up with WWE star Bianca Belair to announce the event, which will take place at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

This marks Cardi B’s first official involvement in WWE, a move that fans and critics alike have been eagerly awaiting?.

Future Prospects

Whether Cardi B will be getting an official role at SummerSlam 2025 has yet to be fully disclosed, the trailer’s release signals WWE’s commitment to bringing the rapper further into the WWE Universe.

The company’s strategy of incorporating A-list stars like Cardi B is part of a larger effort to elevate their premium live events, ensuring they remain not only wrestling spectacles but also major pop culture moments?, something the company has been desperate to latch on to in recent times.

Cardi B Celebrates WWE SummerSlam In NYC With Bianca Belair

AEW may have had New York City last night as the host of Grand Slam, but WWE will take a bite out of the Big Apple next summer. On Thursday, WWE announced that the company will have a full weekened residence at MetLife Stadium on August 2 and August 3.

WWE released a press release breaking the news, but they also put together a promotional spot featuring Bianca Belair and hip-hop sensation Cardi B. In the video, Bianca gets a phone call and it’s Cardi on the other line and the package features one of her songs. Cardi B posted on X to share her excitement for the news and offered the following comment.

“Here’s to the Streets.. and to my girl Bianca Belair! SummerSlam. 2Nights. MetLife Stadium. August 2nd and 3rd”

WWE has been making the most of their wrestlers and their ties to rap artists who are also wrestling fans. Just two weeks ago, Megan Thee Stallion was revealed to be the new musical voice of the WWE SmackDown intro. Stallion even took to social media to tease a potential debut for WWE down the line.

The ironic aspect of these specific artists hitching their wagon to WWE is that both stars are admirers of Mercedes Mone who is neck deep in a massive contract with AEW. While on The Breakfast Club earlier this week, Mone revealed that there were match plans with Stallion, but now that she’s with AEW those plans are off. Surprisingly enough, Mone was not a presence on AEW Grand Slam.

Chelsea Green Wanted To Wrestle Cardi B In ‘Chelsea’s Got Talent’ Pay-Off

Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville were going strong as WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. Then a devastating knee injury took Deville out for the count. Piper Niven replaced Deville, but a Chelsea’s Got Talent idea was in the air prior to that decision. Although it was ended prematurely, Chelsea Green had big goals for that angle.

Chelsea Green Unveils Original Plan For Chelsea’s Got Talent Angle

While speaking to Spencer Loves Interviews, Chelsea Green opened up about her original plan for that Chelsea’s Got Talent angle. They didn’t see it to the end, but she had a big goal in mind.

Cardi B is on the bucket list for a few WWE Superstars, and it seems that Chelsea Green also wanted to take on the WAP rapper.

“If I’m being honest. I wanted Cardi B. If I couldn’t get Cardi B, I wanted to wrestle Cardi B. There was just so many good options in Chelsea’s Got Talent. What I really liked is that we saw people from all over. We did see main roster talent and announcers. We saw Cathy Kelly. We saw R Truth, but we also saw really amazing NXT talent that people hadn’t really seen yet. Karmen from NXT auditioned. We saw reality stars, like Heidi Montag from The Hills. So it could have been anyone and I hadn’t decided yet. It was only just the preliminary rounds. Nobody made it to the semifinals and the finals.”

Cardi B & WWE

Carbi B was rumored to be a part of SummerSlam a couple of years ago, because they used “Up” as the official song. Those plans were nixed when she revealed during the 2021 BET Awards that she was pregnant. That took her out of the running to make the trip for WWE.

Although Cardi B hasn’t taken part in any WWE events yet, that idea is not dead. Her recent social media activity against her soon-to-be ex-husband Offset has rivaled the most heated WWE promos we can think of.

What’s Next For Chelsea Green In WWE

Chelsea Green and Piper Niven lost the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles to Katana Chance and Kayden Carter during the December 18th episode of WWE RAW. Odds are, Green will try to get those titles back, because she has already initiated a social media campaign to get justice for that loss.

Hip-Hop Superstar Cardi B Tweets About Her Love For Edge and Lita

Cardi B is a big fan of WWE, and an even bigger fan of two WWE Hall of Famers.

The 29-year-old rap sensation took to Twitter to shout out two of the company’s greatest superstars, Edge and Lita. The duo’s relationship was covered on the A&E biography about Edge that recently aired over the weekend.

Cardi writes, “I used to love them….they was such a sexy ass couple …This was truly my wwe era …even tho I was a Trish Stratus girl I used to love this couple.”

Edge and Lita’s relationship on-screen included a live-sex celebration that scored WWE one of their biggest television ratings of the year. However, the relationship quietly ended as their on-screen appearances together eventually faded away.

As for Cardi, this isn’t the first time she has tweeted about her love of pro-wrestling, specifically WWE. Her recent hit “Hot Sh*t” pays homage to the late Jimmy Superfly Snuka, and got her conversing online with Snuka’s daughter Tamina, as well as Natalya. Another of Cardi’s hit songs, “Up,” was used as the theme for SummerSlam 2021 from Las Vegas.

Cardi B Shouts Out Jimmy Snuka On New Track ‘Hot Sh*t’, WWE Superstars Respond

Grammy-award-winning rapper Cardi B has long been a fan of the WWE. She recently made a reference to a WWE legend and their finishing move in her new song with Lil Durk and Kanye West.

Cardi B & The WWE

On January 4, 2021, Cardi B received an unexpected shoutout on Monday Night Raw by WWE Hall of Famer Torrie Wilson. The name drop came during a backstage segment between Wilson and Angel Garza.

Garza presented a rose to Wilson who politely rejected it. The WWE Hall of Famer said that she had “invited Cardi B, Kylie Jenner, and Ariana Grande to come here to watch RAW tonight.”

Wilson then added that all three were chilling just down the hall and told Garza that the “WAP” rapper would LOVE the rose. “She’s looking SOOO fine tonight,” Wilson lied, encouraging Garza to go and find Cardi in what turned out to be a dark room where he encountered the Boogeyman instead. 

Cardi, who has tagged the promotion in the past, was both super excited and a bit angry, that her WWE ‘debut’ came in such a backhanded way.

Cardi’s tweets received a response from WWE Superstar Lacey Evans which lead to the two having a spicy exchange of tweets, some of which have been deleted.

The theme song for last year’s SummerSlam event was none other than Cardi B’s song “Up.” WWE dubbed the song “the song of the summer.”

Cardi B Shouts Out Jimmy Snuka

In the next layer of Cardi’s relationship with WWE, she recently gave a shoutout to Jimmy Snuka and his finishing maneuver in her recent song ‘Hot Sh*t.’ This song features some of the music industry’s hottest rappers with Lil Durk and Kanye West also hopping on the track.

In the first four lines of the song, Cardi makes the reference and starts the song off with a bang:

“Now this that hot sh*t

Jimmy Snuka off the top rope, superfly sh*t (Fly)

Might get in the tub with all my ice on some ‘Pac sh*t (Hot)

Either way you slice it, bottom line, I’m the top b*tch”

WWE Superstars Respond To ‘Hot Sh*t’

Fans and wrestlers alike took to Twitter to react to the line. Cardi even responded to a tweet from a fan which prompted wrestlers to respond.

John Cena: “Cardi B Would Make A Hell of a WWE Superstar”

WWE Superstar John Cena recently made some pretty bold comments regarding pop star Cardi B. Speaking to Vice, Cena would say that Cardi B would be a great WWE Superstar if that was something she wanted to pursue.

“Cardi B would be a hell of a WWE superstar” Cena began. “What I admire most about her is she is authentically herself – through good, bad and indifferent – and I think that’s an admirable quality.”

“To have enough confidence and love in yourself to be yourself in any given situation, I think that’s very impressive” John Cena would continue.

John Cena on Cardi B

“She’s so identifiable as Cardi B, it would be tough for her to be anyone else” Cena claimed. “It’s not like Cardi B goes to record a track and then she’s a different person outside the studio – she’s always Cardi B.”

“Cardi, Ludacris and Tyrese could all have their own entrance music!” The 16-time World Champion would conclude.

With the mainstream buzz and success of Bad Bunny around WrestleMania 37, it’s clear that WWE would want to bring in more pop icons to build engagement on social media and mainstream appeal. Cardi B is arguably a bigger name than Bad Bunny in terms of the US audience; so she could be hugely beneficial if WWE are able to utilize her services.

Cardi B was originally slated to host the SummerSlam 2021 PPV event, however she recently revealed that she was pregnant; so she may not be available for the show in Las Vegas this August. This has however not yet been confirmed.

Cardi B Set To Host WWE SummerSlam (Report)

Cardi B is reportedly set to be the guest host of SummerSlam this year. The news was first reported by Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men Podcast. The recording artist is someone WWE has had on their radar for some time now.

Back in January, Cardi B posted to Twitter after her name was dropped on an episode of WWE RAW.

“Ok nomore wwE tweets I haven’t watched it in years.I was just confused on all the wwe tweets I was getting.Before this last thing I Hurd bout it was about a sexy wrestler name Carmella,” Cardi Tweeted.

https://twitter.com/TheVindictive/status/1346306033216585728

Cardi B then noted she remembered when Trish Stratus debuted alongside Test and Albert (T&A).

Back in April, Stephanie McMahon specifically mentioned that it would be “really cool to work” with Cardi B.

“I think it could be really cool to work with Cardi B, Stephanie McMahon noted on the Rich Eisen show in April. “She had a tweet she put out not long ago which was in reference to her name on the show. I think she’s so colorful herself and so vivacious and full of life that I think she would even bring it up a notch in WWE. I think she’d be awesome.”

Top WWE Executive: We Want Cardi B

WWE wants to work with pop music superstar Cardi B.

Nick Khan, WWE’s President and Chief Revenue Officer, recently spoke to Forbes about the business side of the company.

During the discussion, Khan addressed WWE utilizing celebrities to generate additional interest in the product. In recent weeks, we’ve seen rap star Bad Bunny involved in storylines.

There’s also been some buzz about WWE working with Cardi B. Khan confirmed WWE wants to work with the “WAP” singer in the near future. “Obviously, there is no touring right now,” he said. “The ability to get Bad Bunny for however long this run is going to be, and you’re going to see a lot of him; I don’t believe that would have existed in a world where Bad Bunny was on tour.”

The Covid-19 pandemic has forced WWE to adapt the way it does business in many ways. The silver lining is that it has also created the opportunity to work with big names from the entertainment industry, since they’re less busy and not on tour.

“We’re always going to want Bad Bunny, Cardi B to get involved,” Khan continued. “It made it a touch easier to get a deal done this time because they weren’t, over the course of however long the deal is, is not in 25 different cities during that time. The bulk of concert money is made in the summertime. It doesn’t appear as if there are going to be big tours during the summer. Even we’re all hopeful, so we’ll see what folks we’re talking to and who you’ll see in the mix.”

Cardi B was recently name dropped during the RAW Legends Night episode. This lead to several back and forth exchanges between Cardi B and several WWE Superstars, including Trish Stratus and Lacey Evans.

Whether WWE will be able to bring the hip-hop megastar into the fold remains to be seen; although she would be a major name to bring in for a WrestleMania appearance. Bad Bunny will already be performing at WrestleMania, and it is rumored that he will be teaming with Booker T or Damian Priest to take on The Miz and John Morrison in a tag team bout.
