Chelsea Green had a quiet debut on Monday Night Raw in 2020 when she took on Charlotte Flair. It followed by months in limbo before resurfacing on SmackDown, a debut most remembered for Green getting unfortunately injured.
Talking with Spencer Love and his Love Wrestling podcast, Green had a chance to talk about that moment on Raw. She talked about how despite not having weeks of buildup that featured vignettes and heavy promotion, what mattered was her friends and family seeing it because the big debut would come later.
“So here’s a fun fact that a lot of people don’t know, because everyone has said exactly what you said, that like, ‘oh, wow, they just put you on there. If that’s your debut, why didn’t you have vignettes? Why didn’t you get, you know, hyped up and stuff?’ But actually, what people don’t know is a lot of – I don’t know about men, but a lot of women, before they debut actually do have a couple of matches that are just like that. They tend to get thrown into a match like that, they sink or they swim, they usually lose. I mean, of course, unless it was a real debut. It’s funny because a lot of girls told me that that day, when I was going out to have that match with Charlotte. I was really excited! I didn’t care. I’m like, ‘I don’t care if this is my debut or not, I’m going to be on friggin’ RAW, and my family is going to get to see me, and all my friends and everyone that has seen me work so hard for six years, they’re going to see me on Monday Night freaking RAW! So, I don’t care what happened, but a lot of the girls did tell me like, ‘don’t worry, you know, this might seem like your debut, but actually, they’ll probably do this and then take you off TV and then repackage you,’ and stuff like that. So it has happened to a lot of people. It’s just, we forget, right? In wrestling, we like to forget those things, and then we remember what we want to remember, which is the big, grand debuts and the storylines and things like that.”
Green’s first appearances on both Raw and Smackdown probably have a lot to be desired, but she’s currently working on returning from the injury she suffered on her SmackDown debut. And maybe this time, the return will come with vignettes. You can watch the interview below.
