Chelsea Green has revealed that her mother once approached WWE’s Vice President of creative writing & booking and producer Michael Hayes backstage and bluntly told him, “F*ck you.”

Hayes and Green were at the center of attention earlier this year after he made comments about Green during the second season of WWE: Unreal. Hayes had said she was entertaining but was not being positioned as a top star. Green later admitted that hearing those comments on national television had upset her. Hayes later apologized to Green.

Green shared the story during a brief appearance on her husband Matt Cardona’s Major Wrestling Figure Podcast. The incident comes after recent public discussion involving Green and Hayes.

According to Green, her mother approached Hayes backstage and introduced herself as “Chelsea’s mom.” She then told him, “F*ck you,” before walking away. (via Fightful). Green explained:

“My mom said, went up to Michael Hayes and said, did she say, ‘Do you know who I am?’ Or did she say, ‘Do you know who I am? I’m Chelsea’s mom, and I’ve wanted to tell you something,’ and he said, ‘Oh yeah? What did you wanna tell me?’ She said, ‘F*ck you,’ and that’s it. Nothing else, and then Michael Hayes went back to the producer’s office and told every single person there, so now Bruce Prichard is asking me…”

She joked that she had been fired for less in the past. She continued, “I’ve been fired for way less…”

Chelsea Green is the current WWE Women’s Champion after winning the title at SummerSlam Night 2 in a five-way ladder match. She was initially recognized as an interim champion after reigning champion Rhea Ripley suffered a torn meniscus and could not defend the title.

WWE later removed the interim designation from Green’s Women’s Championship and amended the title history. Ripley’s reign was listed as ending on August 2, which was when Green won the title.
