• Chelsea Green has thrown down the gauntlet, publicly challenging Nikki Bella to a high-stakes match at WrestleMania 41. Green’s vision for the dream encounter includes a unique stipulation, adding a personal and dramatic element to the potential clash.
Speaking at a press conference during the Pennzoil 400 for NASCAR Cup Series race, the Women’s United States Champion outlined her ideal WrestleMania scenario:
“I’m thinking my ideal match would be myself vs. Nikki Bella in a hair vs. hair match. That part is crazy, that part is a dream, okay. The hair vs. hair match… that one’s a dream, but me vs. Nikki Bella. I love Nikki. I grew up watching Nikki. She came back at the Royal Rumble. I think this could be the perfect time for her to really sink her teeth into a feud and have a singles match.”
The hair vs. hair stipulation adds a significant layer of intensity to the proposed match, raising the stakes beyond a simple victory or loss. If the match were to materialize, it would not be the first time a women’s match at WrestleMania featured hair on the line.
In 2004, at WrestleMania XX, Molly Holly’s challenge for Victoria’s WWE Women’s Championship resulted in Holly having her head shaved.
Nikki recently confirmed on her podcast that she will return for more matches in WWE.
