Championship Success
July 17, 2023, was a historic day not only for Chelsea Green but also for her tag partner, Sonya Deville. The duo defeated Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez to become WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, marking the first title win for both women in their respective WWE careers.
Unfortunately, just a few weeks into their tag team title run, Deville suffered a torn ACL, leaving the future of the titles in question. In classic Chelsea Green fashion, rather than vacating the belts, she sought a creative way to find a replacement; she held auditions for a new tag team partner, which ended abruptly when Piper Niven walked into the ring, grabbed one of the titles, and declared herself as Green’s new partner.
Between her partnerships with Deville and Niven, Green held the Tag Team Championship for 154 days before losing the titles to Kayden Carter and Katana Chance on December 18, 2023. Following that defeat, Green opted to transition into a singles run on SmackDown.
Green achieved historic success on December 14, 2024, becoming the Inaugural WWE Women’s United States Champion after defeating Michin at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Since that landmark moment, Green has continued to collect gold, capturing the United States Championship for a second time and also becoming the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Champion alongside Ethan Page.
Despite this impressive resume and her undeniable connection with the audience, a narrative persists among fans and critics alike that WWE management does not yet fully view Green as a cornerstone main-eventer, as evidenced in Season 2 of WWE: Unreal.
While she has proven herself as a reliable champion and a top-tier entertainer, Green often finds herself fighting against the “comedy act” label to prove she belongs in the same elite circle as the company’s most high-profile stars.
