Chelsea Green, Cathy Kelley Star In Raptors Schedule Reveal

WWE personalities Chelsea Green and Cathy Kelley made an appearance in the Toronto Raptors’ schedule release video on Thursday, lending some crossover star power to the NBA team’s annual reveal. In the clip, Kelley links up with fellow Canadian Green to break down some of the season’s marquee matchups, including games against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics — the last three NBA champions.

Green, a Victoria, British Columbia native, has never shied away from repping her home country, and teaming with Kelley for a mainstream sports property like the Raptors is another sign of how far WWE’s talent has branched into pop culture beyond the squared circle. Kelley, long one of WWE’s most recognizable on-air interviewers and hosts, has built a career on these kinds of crossover spots, and pairing her with a current in-ring star like Green gives the bit some extra juice for wrestling fans who might not otherwise watch an NBA schedule drop.

It’s a low-stakes but notable bit of exposure. Schedule release videos have become their own minor genre of content across the four major North American sports leagues in recent years, often leaning on celebrities, athletes from other sports or internet personalities to make an otherwise mundane announcement shareable. Getting two prominent WWE names involved puts the promotion’s talent in front of an audience that skews toward pure sports fans rather than wrestling diehards, which is exactly the kind of casual-crossover marketing WWE has leaned into heavily under its current media strategy.

Green has spent 2026 as one of the busier and more visible stars on WWE’s roster, and appearances like this one only add to her profile outside the ring. For Kelley, it’s another example of the kind of hosting and interview work she’s become known for across WWE’s digital platforms. Neither appearance figures to move any storyline needles, but it’s a reminder of how often wrestling personalities are now popping up in spaces well outside a WWE ring or broadcast.

Expect more of these kinds of crossover moments as WWE continues courting mainstream sports and entertainment partnerships heading into the fall.
