Chelsea Green Suggests ‘Duking It Out’ With Rhea Ripley for ‘Permanent Residency’ of the WWE Women’s Title

During a recent interview with Etalk, Interim WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green addressed her orbital bone injury, a dream matchup against the official reigning WWE Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley, and more. Below are some highlights:

Chelsea Green on Injuries Not Keeping Her Down

“You know what? I’ve been doing this 13 years. No broken bones are ever going to keep me down. At this point, I’ve had Well, at this point, I’ve had heart surgery. I’ve had a broken ankle, collarbone, nose, cheekbone, orbital bone, and three broken arms. And we’re good. I wake up feeling amazing every single day. So, especially at this point in my career, there’s not a single thing that can happen to me that is going to keep me down because I’ve been waiting my entire career for this moment. So, I’m ready to go. Put me in, coach. I will fight with a broken orbital bone. Whatever I need to do.”

On Her Dream Opponent

“I’ve had 13 years to think about who my dream opponent would be, but I think it’s only fair that I say Rhea Ripley, considering I am technically the Interim Women’s Champion, you know, and Rhea Ripley is the WWE Women’s Champion. I think we need to duke it out for a position of maybe permanent residency.”

On Winning the Ladder Match at WWE SummerSlam

“When I was hanging upside down, I took in every single second upside down. I looked around. I heard the crowd starting to rumble. I felt them stand. I felt like I ran up that ladder, but also it took my entire career to get up that ladder. Like it was just this moment in time where everything around me froze and everything was going in slow motion. And it was so beautiful. I looked around. I saw everyone’s faces. I saw my family in the crowd. My husband was there. It was just it was perfect. It was everything I could have dreamt of and more. Yeah, it was really like I climbed Mount Everest and I was standing on the top, and it was the most beautiful view.”

As previously reported, Rhea Ripley is currently sidelined with a torn meniscus, which she underwent surgery to repair. She’s not expected to return to the ring until later next year.
