During a recent episode of the Six Feet Under podcast, The Undertaker defended Chelsea Green following remarks made by Michael Hayes about WWE Unreal. Hayes had commented that Chelsea’s primary function was to bolster the profiles of other female wrestlers such as Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton. Despite standing firm on his opinion, Hayes acknowledged Chelsea’s talent and entertaining presence when speaking with Undertaker.
In response, Undertaker praised Chelsea Green as a highly capable wrestler who has not been given enough opportunities, expressing that she has the potential to rise as a top-tier star within the wrestling industry.
Chelsea Reflects on Undertaker’s Support and Its Impact
On the Nikki & Brie Show, Chelsea Green spoke about receiving encouragement directly from Undertaker, highlighting how meaningful it was for her career and confidence.
I check my texts, and he’s texted that to me, too. 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 shit, 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, 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,
Chelsea said.
Following Undertaker’s strong endorsement, Chelsea humorously appointed him as the “Secretary of Dark Affairs,” underscoring her appreciation for his support.
Michael Hayes’ Apology and Chelsea’s Perspective
Additionally, Chelsea shared that Michael Hayes reached out to apologize for his earlier remarks, acknowledging the impact they had on her. Although Hayes defended his statements initially, the apology helped to mend the situation, illustrating professional respect between the two wrestlers.
The Significance of Support from Wrestling Legends
Undertaker’s public backing of Chelsea Green is significant because it highlights the importance of mentorship and belief from established industry figures in shaping the careers of emerging talent. His confidence in Chelsea’s abilities not only boosts her profile but also signals to fans and management that she deserves more prominent opportunities.
As a decorated veteran, Undertaker’s affirmation is especially impactful given his status and the influence he holds within professional wrestling. Chelsea’s rise could be accelerated by this kind of support, potentially leading to more significant storylines and championship prospects moving forward.
