Chelsea Green Fought Hard to Change Her Match Finish for Women’s U.S. Title Win

Chelsea Green had to fight really hard to change the finish for her match at Saturday Night’s Main Event, where she won the Women’s United States Title.

During WWE Unreal, Chelsea Green had a fight with Shane Helms over her match at Saturday Night’s Main Event, where she won the Women’s United States Title. The issue came up when she was told she would win with a second-rope leg drop instead of her signature move.

Green questioned the plan, unsure why she wouldn’t use her finisher the Unpretty-Her, in such a big moment. While willing to try the leg drop, she admitted she had never done one from the second rope and felt uncomfortable with the change, especially in a high-stakes match.

“Wait, I’m pinning with a leg drop? We went back and forth talking about the leg drop and whether we were still gonna keep that in.

No, I’ve never done a leg drop off the second rope. I know, but it was in the middle of the match. Like, I’ll do it, but I’ve never jumped off the rope like that before.

[After hitting a leg drop during rehearsal] Oh my god, yeah, I f***** peed myself. Why not the finish? Why not the Unpretty-Her?”

Though she usually goes along with creative decisions without pushing back, this time felt different for Chelsea Green. She believed the moment was too important to not finish it with her own move.

Winning with something that wasn’t hers didn’t sit right with her, particularly since wins are rare for her character. For Chelsea, using the Unpretty-Her was always the plan since she couldn’t imagine winning such a meaningful match with anything else.

“I’m not one to argue about finishes or what creative wants for me—I just do it. But every now and then there’s a moment I need to fight for, and the leg drop… that was never gonna happen.

I’m not gonna lie, I feel some sort of way about it not being my finish. It feels so weird it not being my move. Because I never win. So to then have this moment that’s gonna go down in history—what? How could I use someone else’s move, not mine? I was always going to use the Unpretty-Her. To think I’d use anything other than my finisher? No way.”

Standing up for her finishing move wasn’t just about the match since it was about telling her story in a way that made sense. Therefore, fans are glad she fought back and ultimately got to win the Women’s United States Title the way she wanted.
