Chelsea Green wanted Maybelline to know that WWE’s women were worth investing in — and she got the chance to make that case herself. The WWE Superstar revealed that she personally pitched the cosmetics giant on why the women’s division deserved a deal, and she didn’t need anyone handing her a script to get the message across.
During an appearance on Cody Rhodes’ What Do You Wanna Talk About? podcast, Green explained how much she enjoys representing WWE outside the ring. While some wrestlers might not be thrilled about constant appearances and corporate meetings, Green sees those opportunities differently. That’s when she revealed that she was chosen to speak directly to Maybelline about the value of WWE’s female Superstars — something she was clearly proud to do.
“I got to sit at headquarters and pitch to the Maybelline team that the women in WWE were worthy of a Maybelline deal. They chose me to tell them why. That’s huge. They gave me no notes. No one prefaced the meeting with anything. I just went in there and I spoke from the heart and I was so proud when I came out and found out that we had a deal.”
And Green wasn’t about to downplay that opportunity. She got to sit across from a major beauty brand and explain exactly why WWE’s women deserved its attention, all without prepared talking points. The company eventually secured a deal, and Green couldn’t have been happier about playing a part in it. She’s also previously made the case that WWE’s women can draw stronger television ratings than the men, so fighting for recognition for the division is nothing new for her.
Green also made it clear that she doesn’t understand why anyone would complain about getting these kinds of opportunities. Being flown around to represent WWE isn’t something she considers a burden — she sees it as proof that people believe she’s important enough to be in those rooms.
“Yeah, I got flown to all these places because someone thinks I’m important enough to meet all these people. You’re telling me that’s a problem?”
That attitude is exactly what Green believes helped her become a champion. She said every opportunity she’s accepted over the past four years contributed to her success, including winning the WWE Women’s Championship at SummerSlam 2026. For Green, making connections and showing up when she’s needed is just as important as what happens between the ropes.
“Every little thing I’ve said yes to in the past four years has led to the US Title and then to the WWE Women’s Championship, everything. I really mean that because first of all, perception is reality. So if they see you’re busy, they think you’re busy and you get busier.”
Green didn’t reveal the financial details of the Maybelline deal or exactly what the partnership involved, but she clearly considered the meeting a big deal. She was given the opportunity to explain why WWE’s women deserved a seat at the table, and she walked away knowing the company had secured an agreement. That’s a pretty satisfying result for someone who went into the room with nothing but her own words.
