Chelsea Green Defends Michael Hayes, Says He Was A ‘Good Sport’ About Her Dedicating Title Win To Him
Chelsea Green further discusses Michael Hayes.
After Chelsea Green emerged victorious from the Ladder match at SummerSlam to become the Interim WWE Women’s Champion, the comments from WWE producer Michael Hayes from the ‘Unreal’ show on Netflix began to resurface.
Hayes stated that while Green is entertaining, she should not be in the same spot as Charlotte Flair or Tiffany Stratton. He added that Green is there to elevate those names.
Green addressed Hayes’ comments again while speaking to CBS Sports. She told the outlet that Hayes has supported her since she got to WWE.
“That clip on ‘Unreal’ is part of why I’m sitting here with this title on my shoulder right now. But I want to make sure everyone knows Michael Hayes has supported me since the minute I got to WWE. He’s the only person that is so blatantly honest, so blunt that he always, always provides the truth, whether I want to hear it or not.”
After her win, Green dedicated it to Hayes, and she texted him about it. She defended Hayes and said that, at the end of the day, what he said about her was right.
“He can dish it, but he can also take it. I sent him a text this morning, ‘Have you seen that I dedicated the title to you?’ He loved it. He was laughing. He is such a good sport, and I wish that what he said wasn’t cropped and edited to make it seem like that’s all he said because I know in my heart that he probably had a million kind things to say about me. At the end of the day, what he said was the truth. It was the truth in that moment. It was his truth. It was creative’s truth. It might have been Triple H’s truth; I don’t know. I’m totally glad he said it. No regrets.”
Green will have to clash with the WWE Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley to determine an Undisputed Champion. Ripley is recovering from a meniscus injury.
