Chelsea Green has won multiple championships in WWE, but apparently all that success still hasn’t convinced her she’s good enough. The WWE Superstar admitted that professional wrestling has completely humbled her, and she believes plenty of women in the business are better than she is.
During an appearance on the Good Karma Wrestling podcast, Green was asked about her struggles with confidence and what it feels like trying to prove herself in WWE. She explained that confidence has never been a problem in other parts of her life, but wrestling is a completely different story. Green admitted that the business has humbled her in ways that nothing else ever has. She also acknowledged that being surrounded by so many talented female wrestlers has made her question her own abilities.
“You know, it’s it’s funny because um I I am a very confident person. Like if you meet me walking down the street or like when I used to dance and play soccer, like I have 100% confidence in my ability. However, wrestling is different. Like wrestling has has humbled me in ways that no other sport, no other industry, no other job I’ve ever had has humbled me. And that’s partially because there’s so many women in this industry that are better than me.”
And it isn’t just the competition that’s getting to her. Green explained that WWE fans and the physical demands of wrestling constantly remind her how difficult the business really is. Despite everything she has accomplished, she admitted that she’s still fighting to prove she deserves her spot.
“That’s also because like the fans humble you. Um just like the the amount of like physical exertion humbles me every time I get in the ring. Like there’s just so many aspects of it. So, you know, what I was saying was was truthful. Like I am always scratching and clawing to belong in this industry. And I think that we all are.”
Green then took things a step further, questioning the attitude of wrestlers who genuinely believe they’re better than everyone else. She argued that anyone who steps into the ring thinking they’ve mastered every part of professional wrestling has a pretty serious ego problem. Instead of pretending she’s the greatest wrestler in WWE, Green said she’s simply an ordinary woman who landed an extraordinary job and has to fight to keep proving herself every Friday night.
“And if we’re not, like what’s wrong with you? You know, like how narcissistic are you if you really truly get in that ring and and every aspect of wrestling you believe that you’re the best at? Like that just I don’t know that I believe that. I think I’m just the only one who will admit that I’m just a regular girl who got a not so regular job and I’m here fighting for my life every Friday.”
Her comments come after Green previously admitted that none of her WWE matches since returning in 2023 have met her personal standards. Despite becoming a multiple-time champion, Green explained that she’s harder on herself in WWE than she was during her time on the independent wrestling scene.
Green’s confidence also took a hit at Crown Jewel on November 7. After defeating Liv Morgan to become the Women’s Crown Jewel Champion, she was betrayed by Tiffany Stratton and lost the WWE Women’s Championship. Green later admitted that the situation left her needing to rebuild her confidence, especially after losing someone she considered a friend.
Green has gone from getting released by WWE to becoming one of the company’s most successful female stars, but she clearly isn’t letting those accomplishments go to her head. If anything, she’s still judging herself harder than ever, and winning championships apparently hasn’t made that pressure disappear.
