Chelsea Green has addressed recent remarks made about her on WWE Unreal, which questioned her role and skills within WWE. As a two-time WWE Women’s United States Champion on SmackDown, Green’s WWE career over the last three years has seen notable achievements, yet she remains outside the spotlight reserved for top contenders in the women’s division.
Green has held the Women’s US Title twice and currently shares the AAA Mixed Tag Team Championship with Ethan Page, though these titles receive limited defenses. Despite her accomplishments and charismatic presence on television, Green is often positioned to enhance other women’s champions rather than being promoted as one herself, frequently putting over wrestlers like Jade Cargill, who recently defeated her quickly on SmackDown.
Michael Hayes Reflects on Chelsea Green’s WWE Role
During his commentary on WWE Unreal Season 2, WWE Hall of Famer Michael Hayes, an experienced member of WWE’s creative team, offered insights on Green’s positioning within the company.
“Chelsea is so entertaining. But she is not built for, nor should she be in the Charlotte Flair role or Tiffany Stratton. Because Chelsea’s job is to help make those people.”
— Michael Hayes, WWE Hall of Famer
Reacting to Hayes’s statement on social media, Green responded with a touch of humor and self-awareness, writing:
“And they say women are dramatic!!”
— Chelsea Green, WWE Superstar
In a separate post, she added:
“It’s giving *Total Divas* but make it men.”

Chelsea Green Discusses What Sets Her Apart in WWE
In a recent interview reflecting on her WWE journey, Green shared that unlike some wrestlers who are rapidly pushed to the top, her path has been shaped by persistence and relatability. She acknowledges that she is not among the “chosen ones” in WWE who receive immediate stardom, but believes her appeal lies in her authenticity and connection to everyday fans.
“There’s a lot of chosen ones in wrestling, you see that happen, the machine has scooped you up and thrust you to the top, it’s amazing and some unbelievable stars come from it. But for me, my story is so different and relatable and I didn’t get everything handed to me, I was told no so many times. There were a lot of people that told me there was nothing unique about me, and I figured out my niche and I think that’s really special and that’s what fans kind of attach to, like she is one of us. When I go home, and I take my make-up off and I blend in at publics when I’m shopping for my groceries, I am just a normal girl. There isn’t necessarily anything special about me, but that’s what makes me special, is the relatability I think.”
