Chelsea Green talks about being a part of history.
Over the past few months, Chelsea Green has made history as the first ever WWE Women's United States Championship, a title that she has defended on several occasions including Michin and more.
In a new interview with Den Of Geek, Chelsea was asked about making history as the WWE Women's United States Champion, noting that no one can take that away from her.
"It's crazy because, wanting to be a wrestler, I, of course, we have so many goals. I would not be here if I hadn't have set goals and crushed them and set a new goal and crushed it. But that's just a goal I didn't even think was possible because, again, that's a ceiling that I didn't know we were ever going to shatter, bringing in an Intercontinental title, bringing in the United States Championship. So when Triple H revealed this (United States) championship, I really, really was set on this. This is my moment. I just know I felt it in my heart. This is meant for me. Of course, witnessing in 2024 the WNBA pop-off, women's soccer pop-off, women's rugby, like all of these amazing women in sports that were just thriving, I thought, this is the perfect time. Not only is it the perfect time for us to introduce this, but I think it's the perfect time for someone like me to win it, someone who the fans have deemed wonderful, possibly mid-card or, comedic relief or, all these ridiculous terms that I just think are like, who cares? Whoever deserves these pushes or these titles or whatever it is, deserves them. Who cares? So when we unveiled this beautiful championship, I just knew that I needed to push for this moment. So I did. Everything that I could in my power, which was just go full steam ahead on social media, do all the appearances that I could talk about it, in appearances and media and just make sure that everyone knew that I want it with all my heart and soul. I want to represent WWE with this championship and I'm so proud and I'm honored and it's nerve wracking, it's scary and it's kind of, heavy as the head that wears the crown, but I'm truly honored to be a part of history, that nobody can take that away. That's really crazy. I can't believe it. Just, just little old me from an Island in Canada. It's the first ever United States women's champion. Like it's ironic and it's perfect."
Chelsea is currently set to miss WrestleMania 41 this weekend. Fightful will continue to update fans on her status as the news breaks.
