Chelsea Green has established herself as a prominent figure in WWE, countering the notion that she is merely there to support other stars. This became a focal point after Michael Hayes expressed opinions on Netflix’s WWE Unreal that sparked significant backlash, leading him to issue a public apology.
Green addressed the situation during her appearance on The Nikki & Brie Show with Nikki Bella and Brie Bella, noting that Hayes had personally apologized to her.
Michael Hayes has apologized to me and we’ve spoken about it and everything,
Green shared while discussing the matter.
The Undertaker’s Strong Support for Chelsea Green
Amid the controversy, Green revealed that The Undertaker had stepped in to defend her on his Six Feet Under podcast. She described how he reached out to offer encouragement directly through text messages, a moment she found genuinely uplifting.
I check my texts, and he’s texted that to me, too,
Green recounted.
He has doubled down, got my phone number and texted me to hype me up. My sister and I had this crazy moment of, ‘Holy sh*t, I’m doing it. I’m really doing it.’ I know everyone says, ‘You’re so funny. I watched you, and that’s hilarious,’ but there are always the same girls that are everyone’s favorite wrestlers. Rhea (Ripley) is always going to be everyone’s favorite wrestler. Stephanie (Vaquer) is always going to be everyone’s favorite wrestler. I’m used to that, and I support them, champion them, and they are my favorite wrestlers too.
Meaningful Backing from a Wrestling Legend
Green emphasized how much it meant to her to receive such vocal support from a wrestling icon like The Undertaker, who she believes has had faith in her abilities even before Hayes’ remarks. For her, the endorsement from someone with his stature carries immense significance.
But to hear Undertaker saying my name and sticking up for little ol’ me, and saying it with such conviction. He did not hesitate for a second. He told me that in the text. What is my life! Undertaker! I’m so thankful because I feel like he really stood ten toes down on how he felt. At the end of the day, I know Undertaker has had my back because he booked me to win the Mixed AAA Tag Titles. He has believed in me since before Michael Hayes said that. Someone of that high status in wrestling, that means a lot to me. He doesn’t waste his breath on anyone.
