Past Travel Issues for WWE Stars

Kelley isn't the first professional wrestling personality to complain about travel woes. Reigning WWE Women's United States Champion Chelsea Green once had a poor experience at The Plaza Hotel in New York City back in 2024. Green claimed that hotel staff mistook her for an escort.

Back in 2020, Alexa Bliss was none too pleased with American Airlines. The former multi-time world champion said she attempted to reach out to customer service, but she couldn't get a response. Two years later, Bliss once again went after American Airlines, claiming three of her flights were delayed in a single week.

Outside of flights being rescheduled and subpar hotel services, many WWE stars have also complained about fans waiting for them at airports. During an appearance on WFAN in early 2025, Seth Rollins took issue with overzealous fans invading his privacy by finding his flight information.

Reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk recently issued a statement on Instagram asking fans to stop following talent in airports and hotels. Punk referred to people who find private information about talent as "stalkers" and urged people to stop harassing the wrestlers.
