Chelsea Green isn’t letting hate slide—not on her timeline.

The current WWE Women’s United States Champion took to social media on March 31 to acknowledge International Transgender Day of Visibility. That simple gesture clearly struck a nerve with one troll, who responded with a nasty comment dragging Roman Reigns and trying to bait Green into walking back her support.

The tweet read: “If Roman Reigns woke up tomorrow and decided he was a woman, would you be okay with him using your bathroom with his massive big dog flopping about? It’s almost as if you’ve put about 10 seconds of thought into it and jumped onto social media for cheap affirmation.”

Green didn’t flinch. She clapped back instantly with a brutal reality check: “I hate to break it to you but not only have I shared locker rooms with all genders, I’ve also shared bathrooms. So no, I wouldn’t give a fck.”*

But she wasn’t done. Green then dropped the personal truth that shut the whole conversation down: “In fact, I’ve got family members that are trans so I’ve given not just 10 seconds of thought to this, but close to 30 years and 10 seconds of thought. If you’d like to take your bigotry elsewhere, I would greatly appreciate that ♥️.”

The tweet spread fast—because it wasn’t just a clapback, it was a moment of realness from someone who’s walked the walk. Green’s been vocal about her journey through the independent scene, her battles to make it in WWE, and now she’s showing the same fight when it comes to standing up for trans people.

In a time where the wrestling world still has a long way to go with inclusion, Green didn’t just defend her stance—she backed it up with her own life experience. She’s not doing it for likes. She’s doing it because it’s personal.
