Chelsea Green is excited for Sonya Deville’s comeback.

Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship on the July 17 episode of WWE Raw. In doing so, they won their first titles in WWE. However, Deville then went down with a torn ACL, and after Green hosted “Chelsea’s Got Talent,” the latter found a new partner in Piper Niven. However, Green is excited to see Deville come back.

Speaking with Rick Ucchino for Bleav in Pro Wrestling, Green commented on Deville’s injury and highlighted their history together. She made it clear that she’s looking forward to seeing Deville return and show everyone how strong she is.

“We have such a history together, coming up through ‘Tough Enough’, and I’ve supported her along the way. I’ve been watching her do all these amazing things, but not be able to actually grasp a championship. So for her to finally win her first championship in eight years, for me to come back and after all these years of putting in work on the independent scene and in other companies, I was able to do this, to win this alongside her, it was such a full-circle moment, and then for that to happen, it’s like, ‘God, why?’ But on the same hand, whatever is meant to be will be, and I am counting down the months until Sonya can come back and show the world how strong she is. We have seen her be strong in so many different areas of wrestling and outside of wrestling. We’ve seen her go through a lot. We’ve never seen her face an injury and come back. I really think she’s gonna come back even better. Don’t tell Piper I said any of this because Piper and I, we like to pretend that that side of me doesn’t exist,” Green said.

As of this writing, there is no word on when Deville will return to the ring.

During the same interview, Chelsea Green made it clear that she wants to defend the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship on all three brands. Check out her comments here.
