Chelsea Green sat down for an hour-long interview with Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, and the now former WWE Superstar spoke at length about the nixie creative plans for her in the company.
Like many wrestlers who worked for WWE, Chelsea Green’s career suffered from a lack of storyline direction coupled with a knack for picking up early injuries.
Chelsea Green revealed that her original WWE call took place in 2019, but it wasn’t the full-fledged call that most of the stars receive.
Green felt there may have been a miscommunication between NXT and WWE’s main roster officials, as she was soon back on the Black and Gold brand. Green recalled teaming up with Charlotte Flair for a tag team match on WWE NXT in May 2020 against Io Shirai & Rhea Ripley.
So I originally got a call in December 2019. But it was a bit of a weird call. It was a miscommunication, maybe between NXT and the main roster. I got called, but I was, but it wasn’t me. And then I was on TV in NXT, which I was so happy about, you know, of course I wanted to be called up, but no one had appointed officials, so it was great to be called to the TV, and then Triple H pulled me apart in April or May 2020, just before the pandemic, or around that time, because we just had a tag match: Charlotte and I against Io and Rhea, and that was the day I was officially called up. “
I don’t know if you can get a better place than that: Chelsea Green on Charlotte Flair as her WWE mentor
Chelsea Green and Charlotte Flair took the win that night, and Green felt that WWE had legitimate plans to make her Flair’s protege.
Charlotte Flair raised Green’s arm after the game and the former TNA / IMPACT Wrestling star believed The Queen endorsed her as the next big thing.
