Chelsea Green On Becoming WWE Women’s Champion, Not Caring About Wins & Losses

Chelsea Green made it to the top of the WWE women’s division despite not caring about wins or losses, something she recently reflected on. Green is the current WWE Women’s Champion, having won the title at WWE SummerSlam. The situation may be ironic for some because Green has spoken in the past about how she doesn’t care about whether she wins or loses matches.

Green weighed in on the matter during her recent appearance on Insight With Chris Van Vliet. She noted that she cares about her work, but that she learned not to care about her match results around the erra of her Tough Enough stint. You can see highlights below:

On How It Feels To Be Women’s Champion:

“Little girl from Victoria, BC. It’s crazy, because I never actually dreamt of that moment, and I feel like people wouldn’t be surprised by that because they know that I’ve just been along for the ride. It is what it is. Whatever happens happens. I kind of let go of having strict goals within the parameters of pro wrestling a long time ago when I realized that I couldn’t control anything. So then, when this kind of like fell into my lap at SummerSlam, I was like, Holy [sh*t]. I did it! I did it, but I didn’t even necessarily set out to do the thing. Then I did the thing. Now I’m at the top.”

On Not Caring About Winning Matches:

“Not caring about much really. Besides just like entertaining and having fun, I really haven’t stressed out about my job since probably since after Tough Enough. For the first year of my career, I stressed out really hard, and then after Tough Enough, when I realized ‘Oh, what’s meant to be will be,’ and you can’t control anything. And like, sometimes the people who don’t deserve things get it, and the people who do don’t, and vice versa, anything could happen. I let it go after that.”

On People Thinking It’s Because She Doesn’t Care:

“I care about my work ethic, the package that I bring to work. The way that I treat people backstage, or the way that I interact with fans; I care about being entertaining. I care about if I have a promo, I’m going to make sure it’s the best promo I can give or the best backstage. I care about the outfit and the aesthetics, but I don’t care about the grand scheme of things because I can’t. I would be up all hours of the night if I cared about my creative and the direction I was going in. I’m not in the writers’ room. The most insight that I’ve got into the writers’ room is Unreal. I saw what the fans saw, and that’s the first time I was like wow! That’s what it looks like. That’s the conversations they have. That’s the roundtable they sit at. I didn’t know. I was like, maybe they’re on Zoom on their couch. I wasn’t sure.”
