Chelsea Green has enjoyed her pairing with Piper Niven, noting that the two of them have worked together since well before their WWE days. Niven joined forces with Green as WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions last year, and Green talked about their partnership in an interview with Busted Open Radio. You can see highlights below (h/t to Wrestling Inc):

On her work with Niven before WWE: “A lot of people don’t know that we lived in Japan together when I was first starting out, and Piper was a couple of years in … We have been close for years. She taught me a lot in STARDOM. I always thought she was so talented. I was so happy to see her go to NXT UK and then be called up to [WWE’s] main roster. So it was a really, really easy fit when they told me that we were going to be partnered together.”

On being partnered with Niven: “I was excited because, at the end of the day, a tag team has to have some sort of solid foundation or it’s a really rocky, awkward start. With Sonya, I had Tough Enough, I had a relationship before, but with Piper, it was even more deep-rooted. So I’m happy to be on all these trips with her and to be fighting for those tag team titles. It’s been really fun.”
