WWE Women's Champion Chelsea Green is riding a wave of momentum that shows no signs of slowing down. After capturing the title in a jaw-dropping ladder match at SummerSlam, the Canadian superstar has now flipped the wrestling world on its head with a single Instagram post.
On Tuesday, Green shared a swimsuit photo that instantly went viral, drawing reactions from fans and fellow wrestlers alike. The post, which features the champion soaking up some sun, has amassed thousands of likes and comments within hours, proving that her star power extends far beyond the squared circle.
"Casually breaking the internet," one fan commented, while another wrote, "You didn't have to eat us all up like this." The compliments kept rolling in, with one admirer simply stating, "So beautiful." Even NXT's Karyn Best-Balgaard chimed in, joking, "Gen Z is just trying to be as cool as you."
The viral moment comes on the heels of Green's historic SummerSlam victory, where she outlasted a field of elite competitors to claim the WWE Women's Championship. Reflecting on that triumph, Green shared her emotional journey, telling Wrestling Inc., "When I knew I was going to be in this match, I thought to myself, okay, we have got an ex-WNBA player, ex-gymnast, we have Jade who was born with abs, and we have got Charlotte, who was literally born into this business, and what am I? Do you know what I am? I am just one of them [the fans]. I am literally just one of them that decided to do exactly what I wanted to do and now here I am."
Green, who signed with WWE in January 2023, initially made her mark in the tag team division before proving herself as a formidable singles competitor. She captured the United States Championship twice before her crowning achievement at SummerSlam. Her dedication to the sport and her connection with fans have made her one of the most beloved figures in the company.
In her post-match comments, Green dedicated her title to Michael Hayes, a nod to the legendary figure who has been a mentor to many in the industry. That heartfelt gesture only endeared her further to the WWE Universe.
While fans will have to wait until Friday's episode of SmackDown to see Green in action, her social media presence is keeping the buzz alive. This isn't the first time a sports figure has caused a stir with a swimsuit snap—just ask tennis star Marta Kostyuk or that beach volleyball sensation who melted timelines recently. Green's post, however, has a unique energy that resonates with her growing legion of supporters.
At this rate, it's only a matter of time before Green goes viral again. Whether she's dominating in the ring or simply enjoying a day off, the WWE Women's Champion knows how to keep the world watching.
