Road Dogg Reveals Story He Pitched For Chelsea Green, Says Not Everyone Had His Vision For Her

Road Dogg recalled a storyline that he pitched for Chelsea Green, noting that people would “get hot” at how hard he would advocate for her. The former SmackDown co-lead writer has always been vocal about his appreciation for Green, with his advocacy for Green being shown on WWE Unreal.

Road Dogg spoke in a virtual signing about Green and a storyline he pitched that would have seen Zoey Stark join the Green Regime. He noted that some didn’t see Green the same way he did, and that he could understand why from a “top guy lens,” but that he could see Green with the potential as a top player. You can see highlights below (per Fightful):

On His Idea For a Storyline For Green:

“I wanted Zoey Stark — yeah (she still works at WWE). She’s just getting healthy. She blew her leg out. Best female wrestler I’ve seen in a long time and her ring work is second to none. So I wanted her and then, Alba Fyre, to take over for Chelsea. They were gonna turn on Piper (Niven) and put her out and put her through a table. Like really send her away for six months or something, and now you have these great two workers standing behind Chelsea… And then, you have ‘em realize, this dingbat. Hey, you turn on her. Piper comes back. They have a tag, then we go into a singles with Chelsea and Zoey and I think she would make it great but, not everybody was a fan of Chelsea Green like I was. I was trying to make America Green again, and they were sitting there getting hot at me.”

On Who Didn’t Like Green:

“Well, I don’t know… I totally understand people not seeing her worth if you’re only looking through a top guy lens. Like if you’re only looking for a main event of WrestleMania, I can see you not having her in that vision. But I also see the potential that she could be in that vision. I firmly believe that and I’ll go to my grave believing it, and she’s the right kind of human being. She’s a workhorse. She says no to nothing and yes to everything. She kicked a 40-yard field goal with a broken ankle. For the love of God, the girl’s a national treasure.”
