Chelsea Green says her Women's US title win was supposed to take place at Survivor Series.
At WWE Saturday Night's Main Event in December of 2024, Chelsea Green would capture her first singles title in WWE, defeating Michin in the WWE Women's US Title tournament finals.
In a new interview with Click And Tell, Chelsea reflected on winning the gold, revealing that she was originally supposed to win the championship at Survivor Series 2024, which took place in Vancouver, Canada.
"Well, okay, so it was in Long Island, and the best part of it being in Long Island, originally, this is a little tea spilling, originally it was supposed to be in Vancouver. That was obviously going to be I mean, for so many different reasons, the biggest moment of my career. It was already going to be the biggest moment, but to have my friends and family there and for it to be in somewhat of my hometown, close enough to my hometown, like that's unheard of. People don't get those moments. So when it was taken away from me, I was heartbroken. I still had all my friends and family at Survivor Series, but I wasn't on the show. So it was really a moment of just like... Like, how? It put a little bit of a damper on it until I found out it was gonna be in Long Island. That is my husband's hometown. So if it couldn't be in my hometown, at least it's in Long Island, it's with all of my in-laws. Everyone in my family ended up flying there anyway, and it was just like the perfect moment. The crowd was amazing. They were chanting my name the entire time from start to finish. I was able to have all my family come back and take pictures with it. I had Netflix with me. It was just, it was seriously like, it was a moment that a wrestler would dream of."
Since retaining the championship, Green has defended the title several times vs Michin, even venturing to NXT for a title defense.
