Chelsea Green discusses the differences in her tag team partners.
Since Chelsea Green returned to WWE in January 2023, she has worked with Carmella, Sonya Deville, and Piper Niven. Green and Deville won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship on the July 17 episode of WWE Raw. Piper Niven took Deville’s place when Sonya went down with a torn ACL.
Speaking with Spencer Love for Love Wrestling, Chelsea Green discussed the differences in working with Sonya Deville, Carmella, and Piper Niven.
“Even before those two, I had Carmella before she got pregnant with Dimitri. That was an experience in itself. It was very much like a little mean girl clique [with] two very aesthetically pleasing characters. Then I went on to Sonya, where we really didn’t know how we fit together. We knew we had to make it work, we just didn’t know how. I think at the end of the day, that ended up being what bonded us was the fact that, you know, just our history and the fact that we knew we had to make this work, because this is our dream. Then, moving on from that after Sonya was injured, which was so heartbreaking, definitely for her, but also for me. I had grown so close to her, and she was kind of my comfort blanket at work at this new
job,” Green said.
Green continued by recalling how she was paired up with Piper Niven. She looked back on their history with each other. Green then noted that she and Niven want to get the titles back. She also teased that Niven could help her in the Royal Rumble.
“Then, moving on and not knowing who I was going to be with, when they said I was going
to be with Piper. What a lot of people don’t know is that I actually lived in Japan with Piper and
we wrestled for STARDOM together. So, we did have a history, we already had a friendship. That
was actually, out of the three, probably the easiest one to slip into. However, you know, we are
not the same wrestler, we are not the same person. That’s something that you have seen day in
and day out in the ring [is] us trying to work on. I mean, even in Des Moines, Iowa, like we were
not on the same page. We may have lost the titles, but doesn’t mean we’re not going to get
them back. Who knows? Maybe going into this year’s Royal Rumble, I now have some
backup in Piper that might play into something in there. I don’t know, depending on what
number we are,” Green said.
