Chelsea Green clapped back at WWE producer and wrestling
legend Michael Hayes during the SummerSlam post-show
following her Interim WWE Women’s title victory.
Joining the panel of Big E, Corey Graves, Peter Rosenberg,
and Joe Tessitore, the new champion said, “I am going to
dedicate this title to Michael Hayes.”
That got a chuckle out of the panel, with Graves saying, “If
you know, you know!”
The comment is in relation to Hayes’ description of Green
during an episode of season 2 of WWE: Unreal on Netflix,
where he claimed that the role of Green was to help elevate
other Superstars, and not to be a main event star.
Talking to Sam Roberts on WWE Now after the show, Green
added that she’s getting all this love for just being
herself.
“For doing nothing out of the ordinary, for literally just
showing up to work, doing my job and going home,” Green
said.
“I mean Unreal season 3 just came out and it reignited that
passion from the fans like I know it did. I know it did. I
felt it. I have felt it all weekend, I have felt it all
year, I felt it for three years,” she continued. “I really
felt it when I won the US title but it has exploded since
then. Exploded. And I thank Michael Hayes for that.”
