Chelsea Green says she has not reached her new match standard in WWE.
Since returning to WWE in 2023, Chelsea Green has become one of the most popular stars in the company, and at SummerSlam, she finally won the WWE Women’s Championship. Despite her success, though, Green says she still hasn’t reached the standard she’s set for herself in the ring.
Speaking to Cody Rhodes on What Do You Wanna Talk About?, Green admitted she has been harder on herself since coming back to the company, and because of that, none of her favorite matches have happened in the past three years.
“Funny enough, since I came back to WWE, none of those will ever be my favorite wrestling matches. Which I thought actually would be the opposite, I thought I would be having all my best and most beloved wrestling matches in WWE, but I’m actually so much harder on myself in WWE. My standard is raised and I haven’t met my standard yet. Hopefully, I will. Hopefully, next time we talk, there’s a match I can say that’s, ‘Oh, that’s the one.’”
Chelsea Green Names Some Of Her Favourite Wrestling Towns
Chelsea Green went on to say that some of her best matches happened outside of WWE when she was on the independent scene.
“But I actually just think some of the best matches I ever had were just out there on the indies and I don’t even know what town or what. I just remember the opponent and the feelings.”
“There’s some in Pittsburgh that I really remember and loved, there’s some in Milwaukee that I remember and loved… Some Austin, Texas matches that were really, really good.”
While some matches during that period were life-changing, Green didn’t realise it when they were happening.
“There was just so many… Then if I really sat here and thought about it, like, me versus Penta, of course, was life-changing, but it wasn’t life-changing while I was doing it, it’s life-changing once it airs. Well, that’s different, I’ve moved on as a wrestler.”
At Crown Jewel, Chelsea Green became the 2026 Crown Jewel Champion when she defeated Liv Morgan. Unfortunately, her celebration was short-lived as, minutes later, Tiffany Stratton cashed in her oney in the Bank contract to capture the WWE Women’s Championship.
