15 Things We Learned From WWE Unreal

15. Ed Koskey’s Chelsea Green Idea

Not every entry here is offered in chronological order. Some are, but not all, and that's simply down to how interesting or important the topic is. One major positive to take away from Unreal is that WWE/Netflix didn't mind getting lighthearted even when real human drama was pinning down the episode. Top creative mind Ed Koskey definitely added some levity to multi-million dollar business by serving up a deliciously-entertaining thought before the 2025 women's Royal Rumble.

In episode 3, Koskey called this a “horrible option” when scheming a women’s Rumble winner. His idea? That the final 2 women left in the match before entrant #30 eliminated themselves. Then, Chelsea Green would come out last and already be the winner without having to lift a finger. Triple H liked that and everybody got a kick out of it, but they didn’t roll with it in the end.

If only, eh? Green came across well whenever she was on camera. It was slightly heartbreaking to hear that she'd bought 15 tickets for friends and family before learning she wouldn't actually be on the card at Survivor Series 2024. That was "upsetting" and "frustrating" to Chelsea, but she understands how business works: "You don't just score more goals and become the captain".

A segment on Green becoming the first ever Women's United States Champ was payoff for this sacrifice, at least, but it's Koskey's quirky Rumble pitch that stands out most here. It might well be something WWE comes back to the future for someone else, because there's never been a moment like it.

Chelsea would've been perfect for that spot had Trips not veered towards Charlotte Flair's comeback win instead.
