Chelsea Green Comments on Triple H Comparing Her Character’s Organic Rise in WWE to Daniel Bryan & Kofi Kingston
A recent episode of the Complex Graps podcast featured Interim WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Green’s thoughts about a meeting she had with WWE CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque and him comparing her organic rise as a star in WWE to Daniel Bryan and Kofi Kingston.
“I didn’t until people started saying that to me after Unreal season one came out. I had no idea. You would be so narcissistic to be comparing yourself to somebody so incredible.
But once the world told me that, and actually Triple H pulled me aside and told me that, and he compared me to the likes of Daniel Bryan and Kofi, I was like, ‘Wow.’ What an amazing group to be put into.
The fact that whatever comes my way is coming my way because the fans have literally strong-armed creative and the company into giving me these things, I don’t want to downplay my hard work, but at the end of the day, they have been steering the ship for the past couple of months. They steered it and docked it at SummerSlam in this ladder match, winning the title. That’s so incredible to me.”
Green also gave her thoughts about how she was interviewed for WWE’s WWE: Unreal docuseries following her Ladder match victory to become the new Interim WWE Women’s Champion at SummerSlam 2026.
“Unreal interviewed me post-show, when the nerves had died down, the adrenaline had worn off, and I started crying because it was like this moment of the only person in this world who can relate to me right now is my husband and how beautiful is that? I couldn’t ask for a more special moment for us. When we do have a family, how crazy is it that we can say mom and dad had the most pivotal night of their lives 10 years apart, but it was very similar. The crowd got us there. The crowd loved Matt so much, and they chanted his name while The Rock cut his promo at M.S.G. and the crowd has chanted my name and they’ve hijacked matches. When I was a heel, they hijacked matches and they turned me babyface and they got him to the top of that ladder and they got me to the top of that ladder and then, he was able to watch me, as a fan, knowing exactly how that felt when nobody else in that building could possibly know how that felt. That’s crazy.”
