Chelsea Green’s WWE Goal After Being “Treated So Poorly”
The former Women’s US Champion Chelsea Green wants to help WWE move forward.
Chelsea Green may play a conniving and sometimes comedic character on WWE television, but the former 2-time Women’s US Champion is a pro wrestling veteran who wants to see WWE become an even better working environment.
The 34-year-old Green has had multiple runs in WWE and TNA, as well as many years on the independent circuit. Since coming back to WWE in January 2023 after Triple H took over the creative team a few months earlier, Green has thrived and should be a major part of the women’s division for many more years.
During a recent interview with Denise Salcedo, Chelsea Green opened up about wanting the pro wrestling business to be a welcoming place.
“My goal in this industry is to make everyone feel welcome, there is a place for everyone. Now look, I don’t care about the guys, I don’t. I’m nice to them but I don’t give a flying f**k about the guys.
I was just treated so poorly coming up and I just knew that, ‘Man when I make it, I want everyone to feel comfortable coming to me, I want them to know that I’ll be honest with them, but I’ll be kind to them, have compassion for whatever they’re feeling.’
This is such a hard business and everyone has something to offer, but sometimes you have to pull it out of yourself and that’s really hard. I want everyone to have a good experience with me and want everyone to know that they’re supported.”
Chelsea Green Reaches Out To Wrestlers Getting Released
Due to her experience in pro wrestling over the last decade, Chelsea Green spoke about how she helps wrestlers after they are released.
“Whenever anyone gets released, the first thing I do is I message them. I’m sure everyone hates me for this, but the girls love me for it, I give them the names of the AEW people that I know that they can contact and the TNA people that they can contact and then anyone else, that ‘I think you can work here, here or here.’
I just want everyone to have an opportunity and feel welcome, that’s been my major goal coming back was just be a really, really positive force within the locker room and show people that, first of all, winning and losing doesn’t matter, and I think I did a good job of that. Like you can lose and still be champion, you can lose and still be booked, you can lose and still make a lot of money and be the face of this company, it doesn’t matter, it’s not that serious.
B, it’s really important for the girls to learn, and I want to make sure I get this right, I was just talking to Bianca about this, to get to the top you do not need to step on other girls. In fact you should be looking up and asking for the top girls’ hands and reach up and have them pull you up. We should all be pulling each other up. The girls that are underneath us, we elevate them by pulling them up, we don’t elevate ourselves by stepping on them.
That’s just so important to me and I feel we have a really good locker room right now that understands that, that feels that way, that wants to make wrestling better and not at the detriment of one person or another if that makes sense.”
Chelsea Green is also married to WWE superstar Matt Cardona, who returned to the company recently after being let go as Zack Ryder over five years ago. Between the two of them, the couple has more than 30 years of experience in pro wrestling, and they hope to work together on WWE television someday.
