Chelsea Green Heaps Praise On WWE Star: ‘She’s Working Her Ass Off Every Week’

WWE

Chelsea Green has heaped praise on a fellow WWE star, sharing insight into their friendship and discussing her current body of work.

Green is currently assigned to WWE SmackDown while Maxxine Dupri performs on Raw.

During a recent appearance on Gabby AF, Green spoke about how the pair became friends before explaining the importance of that kinship.

Green revealed that she first met Dupri when she was paired with LA Knight, likely setting this meeting around 2022, saying:

“I actually met Maxxine when I believe she was still in NXT, but she might have just been called up and been paired with LA Knight. I didn’t have a job yet, I was still at TNA.

“We went for a girls’ night, and I thought she was just such a good person, she was so down to earth.”

That night out led to Green offering support to Dupri, with the veteran star happy to share advice with the relative newcomer, explaining:

“Not that I felt like I wanted to take her under my wing at all, but I think that’s naturally what happens when you become friends with someone in this industry and one person has so much more… I have so many more years in wrestling than she does, so naturally, she’s gonna have questions for me, or I’m gonna have advice for her, or we’re gonna get into situations where I’ll give her my two cents. Just things like that.

“We immediately, when I got called back, we’re like, ‘Oh, well, we’re travelling together.’ So we traveled together until we got split up, which was absolutely heartbreaking. We just travel kind of on our own now. So sad.

“But yeah, we have a really good friendship, and with that comes honesty, so I just tell her what I think.”

Green would reflect on the mindset she uses when it comes to professional wrestling, stating:

“Also, I always want to remind all of my friends, but especially someone that was so new in the business – this isn’t everything. I know it feels like everything, and the weight of this world comes crashing down on you at times. You have a bad match, or the internet doesn’t like yo,u or you flub your line.

“It’s not that serious. We’re just playfighting in our underwear, and you need to just put the phone away, go to bed, do things for yourself, have a hobby or hang out with your fiancé or whatever makes you happy. Do things outside of this so that it doesn’t feel so heavy.”

Turning her attention back to Dupri, Green would praise the growth of the WWE Raw star, who recently stepped into the ring with Becky Lynch despite being unwell, saying:

“And I think because I’ve been doing it so long, it’s easy for me to say that, but we’re a good balance of each other.

“She’s so good, watching her is amazing. I think that is because she is going to Nattie’s and she is working her ass off every week multiple times a week. People just do not see the work she does behind closed doors. It’s way more than I do. Way more. I’m always like, ‘I don’t know how you do it,’ but it’s amazing.

“At this point in your career, that’s what you have to do to succeed. I was so happy that she went out there and she crushed those matches with Becky, and she will continue to because of the hard work she puts in.”

Dupri’s alliance with her mentor, Natalya, has seen the pair form a tag team called Dungeon Dolls.
