WWE: Unreal Reveals Rejected Chelsea Green 2025 Royal Rumble Win Pitch

The 2025 WWE women's Royal Rumble match nearly featured a unique finish pitched during the creative process, as revealed in the Netflix docuseries "WWE: Unreal." The idea involved the final two competitors eliminating each other simultaneously so that the 30th entrant, Chelsea Green, would enter an empty ring and automatically win the match. This comedic pitch, which elicited laughter among the writing team including Paul "Triple H" Levesque, was ultimately rejected. Instead, Charlotte Flair made her return from injury to win the event, becoming the only woman to win a second Royal Rumble. Chelsea Green participated in the match as the fifth entrant and was eliminated after 26 minutes, but she remains a prominent figure on WWE programming. The pitch highlights WWE's willingness to experiment creatively, even with unconventional ideas, before settling on storylines that emphasize comeback narratives and established stars.
