Chelsea Green is pulling back the curtain on WWE’s women’s locker room, revealing that the perceived hierarchy among female superstars doesn’t actually exist behind the scenes. The Women’s US Champion shared insider information about how WWE’s female roster actually views each other, contrary to fan perceptions.
“Within the locker room, and this is a little bit of inside information, but within the locker room, we don’t put ourselves in the hierarchy that you guys do,” Green revealed. “We don’t have statuses. Just because Tiffany was the champion doesn’t mean she’s any more worthy of anything than me. We don’t see each other that way. We’re just a bunch of girls trying to elevate this division and this sport.”
Green emphasized that the competitive rankings fans create don’t reflect the backstage reality.
“I don’t get in there and I’m like oh my god this is so cool. I’m with the top girls. Like I don’t think that way cuz at the end of the day like I’ve worked longer than some of them or they’ve you know done more than this person. That’s all fake. That part is fake,” she said.
The champion also discussed the unique mentorship style of John Cena, who she’s been working with during his farewell tour.
“One thing about John Cena is he doesn’t waste his breath on anyone,” Green explained. “So when he gives you advice, it’s thought out and it’s articulated in a way where he is not wasting his time or your time. And that’s really unique in wrestling cuz people love the sound of their own voice in this business. And so, for him to just like take that moment to tell me how he feels, it’s gamechanging.”
Green also revealed her personal “Diva Mount Rushmore,” naming herself alongside Natalya, Kelly Kelly, and Nikki Bella as the four most important divas in WWE history.
In the same interview, Green discussed leading a “Diva Renaissance” and how her husband Matt Cardona secured his WWE return.
