Chelsea Green: A Little Birdie Told Me That An NXT Higher-Up Tried To Tell ROH Not To Hire Me

Chelsea Green spills the tea.

Chelsea Green was with WWE for a handful of years before being released on Thursday, April 15, 2021. Since then, she has been all over the wrestling world appearing for the National Wrestling Alliance, IMPACT Wrestling, Ring of Honor, and multiple independent promotions.

Overall, Chelsea has maintained that she harbors no ill-will towards WWE and even finished rehabbing an injury at the WWE Performance Center after she was released from the company.

Now, Chelsea Green, on the most recent episode of her Green With Envy podcast, tells the tale about a tip she received that WWE was trying to block her from joining Ring of Honor when an unnamed higher up at NXT told Ring of Honor not to hire "The Hot Mess."

"Since we're on that topic, a little birdie told me that — now this is juicy... I'm just going to get into it, fuck it. When I debuted at Ring of Honor this summer, someone at the top of the NXT food chain called them to tell them that they shouldn't hire me. So let me just get this straight. When I got fired from WWE, someone at the top of the NXT food chain called the company who was about to hire me to help me provide food for my fucking family and for myself, and told them not to hire me?!

"So this is just me being petty and telling the world a little bit of tea, but I can't believe a company would fire somebody and then try to block them from getting a job somewhere. Like it makes me sad, really sad. But on the flip side, I'm just so thankful to have had all the opportunities come my way since being released from WWE, and for Ring of Honor for putting faith in me and not listening to the big old fucking machine. I'm just, I'm sad for everyone that's losing their job. But I am so happy that I was able to be a part of it. So you know what, rant over it. That concludes my wrestling talk for this week and you're welcome to those nosy nancies who have been wondering what's going on.”
