Following her WWE release, Chelsea Green gave her first interview to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select and discussed about several topics. She revealed that she was totally shocked after informed about her WWE release. Here what Chelsea Green said:
“I actually was totally shocked (laughs). Not going to lie. I was totally shocked. I understand it, you know, I wasn’t used, and of course, when I was used, I broke my arm. So, I was definitely shocked. And in previous years, when they have done the releases, I was expecting more throughout those releases. I was kind of ready last year, and you know, times before but this time I was very shocked because I know my potential in the company and I know what I bring to the table, which is something different, you know, character work and acting skills and promo abilities and that is something I know I will thrive at when I’m able to show that. So, yeah, I was totally shocked.”

Chelsea Green was prior aware of that roster cuts by WWE through the text message and she prepared mentally herself about otherwise she didn’t know how she would react about it.
“Thankfully, I was given a little bit of a heads up, a little warning, ‘Hey, they are cutting people.’ I was able to mentally prepare myself just in case because I will say, if I hadn’t gotten that text letting me know, I would have thought that phone call was for my debut, and that would have been embarrassing. Yeah, I’m so thankful that I was forewarned because I was ready to debut, you know. It would have been a total shock, and who knows what the hell I would have done then.”
Chelsea Green also revealed that John Laurinaitis who informed about her WWE release via phone call. She know him before WWE days and handled that hard call with utmost professionalism. She also appreciated John Laurinaitis straightforwardness and also glad that she got that call from him.
“Yes, that’s what they said to me. You know, he was very, very sweet to me. We have known each other since pre-WWE days just because I have a good relationship with The Bellas and The Bellas mom; I love them all. So he was kind of tied into that relationship. He was very nice to me about it. You know, I’m sure that’s a hard call to make over and over again.”
“Yeah, he knows what he is doing with those calls, and I do really like the fact that he is so straight up. I really appreciate someone that’s really straightforward and doesn’t bulls*** with me because I’m not a bullsh*****, and that has got me in trouble in the past, but I feel like, in the long run, it just works out better for everyone when you just cut the shit, get straight to the point and so, I’m glad I got that call from him.”

Chelsea Green also stated that WWE is a revolving role and there is possibility of coming back after proving their worth and gave an example of Jinder Mahal. She also added that she can’t sit and wait for it as she is focusing on next chapter.
“It definitely was; they, you know, kind of say the same thing every time, which is that WWE is a revolving door. And we’ve seen that happen, especially when we saw Jinder come back and people like that, and become the champ, you know. So, I know that’s a possibility. I know that sentence is true, but with that being said, you can’t sit around and wait, and I’m just not that type of a person to sit around and wait. I never have. Maybe that’s why I’ve done well in wrestling because I always. I always leave the party before the party was over, and even though I didn’t leave the party this time, I got kicked out, the party is still going, and I can still come back, and the party will still be going.” (H/T: Sportskeeda)
