Chelsea Green has reflected on her “crazy” journey to get to where she is in WWE at this point in her career.
While she now stands out as one of WWE’s most popular performers on Friday Night SmackDown, Chelsea Green’s path to becoming a multi-time champion in the company was one full of hurdles and road blocks.
Whether it be proving herself on the independent scene and promotions such as TNA, to being released by WWE following a two-year spell in 2020 – Green’s journey back to WWE, much like her husband Matt Cardona’s own path back to the company, is an inspirational one.
Speaking to Denise Salcedo, Green reflected on her pro wrestling career and discussed what made her path back to WWE “so hard”:
“It’s so crazy, Matt (Cardona) and I were just talking about, we would have never guessed, when we first met nine, almost 10 years ago, that when I was at TNA and he was at WWE, then I would get to WWE, then he would get fired, then I would get fired, then I would get hired and he wouldn’t get hired, years later he would get hired and I would be a double champion and all my dreams would be coming true and I’d travel the world and I represent the company.
“All these things are so crazy but I do feel like the journey to get here was so hard, that now that I’m here there’s not one person in this world that can say I didn’t work for it.
“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.”
