‘It Gave Me Chills’ – Chelsea Green Details Her Most Intense WWE Moment

The latest episode of Chris Van Vliet’s “Insight” podcast featured WWE Superstar Chelsea Green. During the chat, Green reflected on the crowd reaction she received at SummerSlam 2026 (Night Two) when she captured the WWE Women’s Title in a Ladder Match. She said,

“Oh my God! So I was laying upside down. First of all, if you watch really close, I’m very ever so slightly trying to shift my weight from toe to toe because my toes are the only thing that’s keeping me there. My legs are cramping. The backs of my hamstrings are on fire because they’re pressed up against the metal. So I’m like, okay, just release this toe and like hold on with this one. I can’t move because if I move, it gives it all away. You know I’m alive. I have to stay dead until that very moment, and then see what happens.”

“Everything was strategic in that moment where I was, and just making sure that I stayed so still. I’m laying there, and I’m looking up at the Tron, and I see that Jade and Charlotte take the final bump. And I’m like okay, this is it. They’ll either know, or I’ll sit up and they’ll know. But I was still upside down, and I felt a rumble, and the minute that I started turning my head and looking around, it was like I felt everyone stand up, and it gave me chills. If I could dream of a scenario where I was winning the greatest title that a woman could win in wrestling, that was better than that moment. I could not have dreamt of that moment.”

Green Comments On WWE: Unreal

During the same podcast, Chelsea Green opened up about getting called for an appearance on Netflix’s WWE: Unreal series. She said,

“But I’ve always had that mindset. I’ve always said yes to everything. So when they called me and told me this, I said, absolutely, I’ll do it. But I’m not gonna censor myself. That’s your job. If you want me to be censored, or if you don’t want something said, when you put a mic on me, I’m still gonna say the exact same things I would say. I hope that doesn’t get me in trouble. But if it does, it does. But I feel like the minute that season one came out, I realized, oh, this is going to change things.”

“This is giving fans the opportunity to get behind someone for who they really are, as opposed to the character. Because up until that point, people found me very annoying, and then all of a sudden, it was oh wait, we love her character. In real life, like we see the grind, we like the grind, we respect the grind. Like the grind is going to work, and being this annoying character. That’s what changed the course of my career is that Unreal came out, and the fans have strong-armed the company into doing what they wanted.”
