Chelsea Green has opened up about her frustrations with WWE, discussing her lack of screen time since leaving IMPACT.
Green was released by WWE in April. Her last televised match for the company took place in November 2020, five months earlier.
The former IMPACT Knockouts Champion has reflected on her tenures with both WWE and IMPACT. Recalling feeling like a top star in IMPACT, Green spoke on her Green With Envy podcast about her emotions since leaving WWE.
Comparing her runs with each company, Green said:
“On Canada Day, IMPACT Wrestling put out this 60-minute episode all about me — or I should say about Laurel Van Ness, my character’s name, and highlighted my career. Obviously, that’s not the messy moment of the week. But it got me thinking about what is the messy moment?
“How the f**k can I (leave) IMPACT (and) being named champion? (IMPACT) gave me main event matches, they aired a 60-minute show solely on me, (opposed to) WWE, where I couldn’t even get on TV for over a year. Like, tell me how that’s possible.
“I feel like I haven’t been bitter about WWE since I was released. I’ve been open-minded about the release and the fact that doors are now open for me since the WWE door closed. But this time, I just couldn’t help it. I was feeling a little bit annoyed with the WWE system. You know, I was super excited to be featured on TV.
But there was just this weird feeling of having two polar opposite emotions at once, feeling a little bitter, and a little sad. Then also feeling very f**king proud and very confident in who I am and where I’m going. So that was kind of the messy moment of the week for me. I think you guys probably get where I’m coming from.”
It has been speculated that Green will return to IMPACT during the Slammiversary pay-per-view on July 17. Footage of Green was used during Slammiversary promotional videos earlier this year.
