Chelsea Green Reveals Surprising Way She Got Her WWE Job Back
Chelsea Green has the chance to win the first gold of her WWE career on the 29th of May edition of Raw but the star might not have been back in the company at all if she hadn’t sent a message to Triple H.
WWE began cutting swathes of talents in 2020 and continued the practice off and on until Vince McMahon announced his short-lived retirement in July 2022. Following that, Triple H began to hire back some of the stars previously released and that afforded Chelsea Green the opportunity to resume living her dream.
Speaking on Out of Character, Chelsea Green revealed that all it took for her to get her job back with WWE was a simple text message to Triple H:
“I texted him (Triple H), and I said, ‘I want my job back’, and he said, ‘Okay, call me’, and I was shocked. I want to go back to WWE. My story is not finished. He said on that phone call, ‘I absolutely would love to have your back. Just tell me when’s a good time for you to start.’
‘At the end of the day, why are we embarrassed to ask for things? I will never understand that. I have asked to work for WWE probably 100 times and I am not embarrassed about that one bit. I have my dream job. I’m doing exactly what I want. I get to help give my family what they want. I get to feed my amazing animals and live in Florida. Why would I be embarrassed that I had to ask somebody for that, that I got it?
“I have no problem asking for it now just like asking on Tough Enough, and I had no problem asking for my very first tryout in 2014. When they didn’t give it to me, you best believe I asked for it eight more times until they gave me that damn tryout.”
Chelsea Green returned to WWE at the 2023 Royal Rumble where she was a surprise entrant in the women’s Rumble match. More surprisingly, Green beat her record from the 2020 event with her appearance as she only lasted five seconds in the bout before she was eliminated by eventual winner Rhea Ripley.
