Chelsea Green Reflects On Being ‘Set In Her Ways’ During First WWE Run

Chelsea Green recently looked back at her first run in WWE and why it didn’t work out. Green spoke with the Lightweights Podcast for a new interview and noted that5 her refusal to change during that run was her biggest problem.

“I think I had spent too much time on the indies that by the time I got to NXT, I was going against the system,” Green said (per Fightful). “I was fighting against it… And I was so set in my way that I didn’t want anyone to change it and I was so entitled because I had been a world champion.”

She continued, “So I was like, ‘Why do I need to change? You hired me. You knew what you were getting. Why do I need to change? You should just be putting these belts on me’ and I needed to be humbled. I needed to be fired and go back to the indies and rebrand and change my mindset, be humbled. Strip myself of that entitlement and just really realize that things will come when they’re meant to come and that’s what happened.”

Green’s first run with WWE ended when she was released in 2021.
