Chelsea Green: I Thrive In Uncharted Terrority, You Can Only Control Certain Things
Chelsea Green comments on the WWE/UFC merger.
The merger between UFC and WWE became official on September 12, 2023. Since then, the company has went through a number of unfortunate changes, as many members of WWE’s office staff were laid off later that week. On Thursday, September 21, in-ring talent such as Dolph Ziggler, Mustafa Ali, Dana Brooke, and many others were unfortunate released from the company.
In a new interview with the Bleav in Pro Wrestling podcast, Chelsea Green was asked about the merger between both companies. Green stated that she thrives in uncharted territory, recalling the ups and downs that she’s went through in recent years.
“I think if I’m being honest, I feel like uncharted territory is where I’ve thrived. I have been released, I have been fired, I have been not hired. I have even re-hired. I have gone through all these things in one way or another. It might not be the same of a company, but it’s COVID, it’s a pandemic, it’s not being hired after ‘Tough Enough’ when all of the ‘Tough Enough’ was hired. All these things I’ve been through have set me up for just facing uncertainty, or adversity, or whatever it is. I also believe in whatever is meant to be, will be. It took me a long time to get there, but I am there, and whatever happens, happens. You can only control certain things. You can control your gear, and the way that you look, and you can control your mindset. That’s it. Your mindset is everything from how hard you work, how much attention you give to certain thing things, whatever it is. Just having a positive outlook. I just go to work, I do my work, and I leave. When I am off the clock, I have the best, even if it’s 24 hours, the best 25 hours. If I have the best weekend, the best week, whatever it is, I spend my time, I’m going to Halloween Horror Nights, I’m going to Disney, I’m going on vacation, I’m going to Lake Tahoe, I’m visiting my friends and family. I am doing this so differently than I would have done if WWE hired me in 2015. I am not gonna stress about the little things, or the big things. I’m just letting it happen.”
Green went on to notes that the pandemic helped her change her current mindset, and that being in the same household as Matt Cardona also helped tremendously.
Elsewhere in the interview, Green said that she’s counting down the days until Sonya Deville can make her return to the ring. Fans can learn more by clicking here.
