Chelsea Green puts a lot of time, thought, and effort into the character you see every week on WWE programming.
WWE Superstar Chelsea Green was a recent guest on Wrestling with Freddie. When asked how she’s enjoyed the evolution of her character since returning at the 2023 Royal Rumble, Green said it’s mainly been about finding a balance between her character and being a believable in-ring performer.
“I mean, the best part about this character is that when I came in and they gave me something, they just gave me a tiny nugget,” Chelsea Green said. “The nugget was, ‘Yeah, we think you’re going to be a Karen.’ And I love, love, love to do character studies, especially in acting. That’s my favorite thing, is building a backstory and coming up with why this person is the way they are.
“So I was doing that week by week. And like I said to you guys earlier, off camera, all these suggestions that people would give me, I would take in and add to my character because I felt it gave this beautiful underbelly of what this person was. Now it’s evolved to, okay, she can still be that character, but she can also wrestle. And that was what I struggled with in between.
Chelsea Green wants it to be believable that her character can win matches
“From that Royal Rumble that I debuted as a character to now where I’m finding this happy medium of still showing the ridiculous side of me, still showing a personality, but also making it maybe believable that I could win. Or maybe believable that I might hit that move on someone.
“This is a push and pull of wrestling. We all have this, but I think maybe I have it a little bit more because I enjoy character work more than I do wrestling. And that’s tough, that’s a tough line to figure out. But I mean, I think in these past couple of weeks, I’ve started to nail the balance. And so I’m hoping it only gets better from here, but I don’t know where I’m going to go because I never know.”
