The Nikki & Brie Show
Putting HER Over: Chelsea Green
00:44:45
Women’s History Month is in full swing, and The Nikki & Brie Show is turning up the volume with another fearless force in the game, the one and only Chelsea Green! From her unforgettable debut as the “physical therapist” in Brie’s Authority storyline to becoming one of the most entertaining, scene-stealing Superstars in WWE today, Chelsea has carved her own path — in heels, barefoot, and sometimes in a wedding dress. She opens up about starting her wrestling journey after Googling “how to be a WWE Diva,” finding her power through character work, and learning that there’s room for every woman at the top, if we lift each other up. The conversation gets real about rejection, resilience, locker room dynamics, being a “type A” woman in a male-dominated industry, and what it truly means to support other women without stepping on them. And yes… we dive into Undertaker putting her over (goosebumps included) and why that moment meant more than the world. Chelsea is bold, hilarious, self-...

Nikki Bella
Oh, yeah. She is a WWE Superstar, a fan favorite, and arguably one of the most entertaining personalities in the entire division. She commits to the bit. She takes the bumps, she steals the scenes. Oh, yeah.
- [01:43]
Brie Bella
She did.
- [01:44]
Nikki Bella
Talk about a true patriot.
- [01:47]
Brie Bella
I love that she does.
- [01:48]
Nikki Bella
Rain. Everyone, pledge your allegiance and welcome to the Nikki and Brie Show, Chelsea Green.
- [01:55]
Brie Bella
So, Chelsea, Nikki and I, this month on the Nikki and Bri show, we've been wanting to spotlight women in history. It's very important for us during Women's History Month to showcase women who have done inspiring things, who empower other women. And you are on our list, girls.
- [02:12]
Nikki Bella
Right?
- [02:13]
Brie Bella
We are like, we need to get Kelsey Green on our show.
- [02:16]
Chelsea Green
Oh, my gosh. You guys, I'm so flattered. Thank you so much.
- [02:22]
Brie Bella
Thank you. Yeah. For entertaining millions of people around the world. But, you know, for our listeners, some are familiar with wrestling and there's a lot actually on the podcast who aren't. So Nikki and I thought it'd be fun to take it back a bit. And for everyone listening. Oh my gosh. A very unique, fun connection with Chelsea Green and I is if you remember when my husband was fighting the authority and you saw a lot of this on Total Divas and. Well, really total Bellas. Maybe you saw how we were going against Stephanie McMahon and Triple H, the Authority, And Stephanie tried to insinuate to me that my husband was cheating on me with the physical therapist. And the physical therapist was Chelsea Green. So that is how she was introduced to myself and Nikki and.
- [03:11]
Chelsea Green
And the whole WWE Universe, really, The whole WWE Universe.
- [03:15]
Brie Bella
And what I would love everyone to know is that your wrestling journey, you know, it didn't start there.
- [03:20]
Nikki Bella
You started.
- [03:21]
Brie Bella
Can you take us back to when your wrestling journey started?
- [03:24]
Nikki Bella
Well, and even before that, because you did gymnastics and dance, right?
- [03:27]
Chelsea Green
So I was always a dancer, and I was definitely always a wannabe personal trainer. Like, I loved anything fitness related. I was a soccer player, track and field. And all of that kind of stopped when I got into college, mostly because I wanted to have a real college experience. Like, I didn't want to go to college for soccer or track, even though I could have. I just wanted to, like, stop everything, have a couple of years of traveling, college, honestly, doing terrible things, making terrible decisions. And then I kind of jumped back into the fitness world. And I was dating someone who was always into fitness, and he was coming up with a fitness app at the time, and I found myself Googling how to be a WWE diva. And I always thought I always told the story of the match being Nikki versus Naomi, but actually I did my research this year and it was Ms. Bri versus Naomi. I immediately found the match yet, and I was like, oh. Oh, my gosh. That's. That is Bri. The match that I saw was Bri versus Naomi. And I was like, I need to do this. So I. I googled how to be a WWE diva, and I did. I was doing bartending, I was kind of personal training, and then I was getting in the ring and training with Lance Storm in Calgary, and I. I thought it was kind of like more of like a hobby slash joke, I guess, because I never really thought that this was going to be my entire life moving forward. But once I got in the ring, I just fell so deeply in love with it because it combined everything that I loved into one. I'm sure you guys feel the same way, right? Like, you. You get to dress up. You get to, like, really embody a superhero and dress in sparkles and do the glam, but you're also doing things that are so badass, and you're using that side of you that, you know, you use for soccer and track and dance and gymnastics and all the things. And I was like, man, this is it. Like, this is what I need to be doing. And, you know, Bri, when I got in the ring and spoke on that microphone for the first time with you and Stephanie, that was the first time I had ever held a microphone in my life.
- [05:53]
Brie Bella
Oh, my gosh, you crushed, girl. You would not have thought that. I felt like you were so calm and great. Like, I remember meeting you for the first time and I thought you were a professional actress. Like, I figured, like, probably because we were in the Northwest at the time, right?
- [06:11]
Chelsea Green
Yeah, you guys were in Oregon. You were doing like a little loop. Seattle, Oregon. And there's another town that you always did that.
- [06:18]
Brie Bella
I can't remember, was it Spokane or something? But I remember I figured you were from Vancouver, like, you know, a professional actress, because you were so great. And, you know, I. I remember you so well because you just have a really sweet aura to you. You're very bubbly, you're kind, you're very easy to talk to, but you've always been that way because I even think it was probably nerve wracking for you to have to do that with Stephanie and I, and. And you just did it with such grace. But you were just. I remember just your, like.
- [06:48]
Nikki Bella
And slap.
- [06:50]
Brie Bella
I know.
- [06:50]
Chelsea Green
Oh, my gosh.
- [06:53]
Brie Bella
To you. After, I was just like. But, you know, I wanted it to look good. It was not.
- [06:57]
Chelsea Green
Yeah, no, it was okay. There's so many parts to this one. One. Bri has the craziest slap that I've ever taken.
- [07:08]
Nikki Bella
Until
- [07:10]
Chelsea Green
Ms. Natty. Until Ms. Natty. And then Natty rivals you for the best slap I've ever taken. But, I mean, it needed to look good. Like, it. We were doing such personal things in the ring at that time, and when you attack someone's marriage and we're going into, you know, quite possibly the greatest feud for the women, I mean, that was. That was the best storyline. Obviously, you needed to slap the shit out of whoever was across the ring from you. So, I mean, yeah, the. The slap was incredible. And it's a slap heard around the world. I'll never forget it. And then I think one thing that I've learned throughout this whole process, I've been doing this now for, you know, coming up 13 years. It's just like, it's so much better to be kind and welcoming in the locker room and kind of lead with openness and welcome people in, because I think we've all been in locker rooms where you don't feel that way. And we're supposed to be a team. We're supposed to work together. We're supposed to elevate each other, or else how. How is this. How is this company gonna keep going if we don't bring someone in and make them feel comfortable and make them a better wrestler or a better person? So although, like, I've had my eras of, like, being not kind and, like, being a mean girl, in high school, I think as I transitioned out of it, I realized, like, wow, it's so much easier to just be kind.
- [08:43]
Brie Bella
Oh, it is. Oh, my gosh. Well, and I feel like, you know what I've realized? And I think people have been shocked when they meet Nikki and I. They're like, wow, you guys are actually really nice.
- [08:52]
Chelsea Green
Yes.
- [08:53]
Brie Bella
You know, so many people will say it. So I'm like, did you guys think we weren't? But, I mean, I just think my whole life I've been a really kind person, and I've always, you know, led with that. And I think, too, I've been lucky. When you have a twin your whole life, I guess there's been a competition, a comparison. So I never felt like I had to compete with women because if there's one world I'm going to compete with in an audition or if we're with anything, is the girl who looks exactly like me. So.
- [09:18]
Chelsea Green
And you know what? Maybe I feel the same way because I have a sister who's only 13 months younger than me. Like, there's a different relationship that girls have when they have either a sister or just a really good core group of girlfriends. Because let me tell you something, my girlfriends let. They let me get away with nothing.
- [09:41]
Brie Bella
Us too.
- [09:42]
Nikki Bella
You need those kind of girl.
- [09:43]
Commercial Narrator
Yeah.
- [09:43]
Nikki Bella
I mean, and especially for the girls and the women who don't have sisters that keep them in check. That's why you need that type of group of women around you to, like, just give you honesty. I mean, honest.
- [09:54]
Brie Bella
One of our girlfriends just sent us this morning a meme that said, it's a girl laughing at this table. And she's like, only to my best friends can I send them something so unhinged. And they accept it with like, girl, I'm feeling you right now. And it's like, screw. You need those women around you so you can be completely open and just, you know, like, just around, you know, just be yourself 100.
- [10:20]
Chelsea Green
And especially in this industry where, you know, people, they're either tearing you down or they're hyping you up so much, and. And your ego can get so blown up, and. And my girlfriend's like, they don't care what I do. They don't care if I, you know, was on WrestleMania or whatever. Like, they just. They don't care. What they care about is who I am to the core and, and, you know, how I truly feel, like, how good my heart is or whatever, you know, like the, The. The core values they care about.
- [10:54]
Nikki Bella
Totally.
- [10:55]
Brie Bella
For sure.
- [10:55]
Commercial Narrator
Well.
- [10:56]
Brie Bella
Oh, sorry. Go, Nikki.
- [10:57]
Nikki Bella
Well, and, you know, speaking of that, I want to dive into, like, the mindset of you and coming into this industry because you're so amazing at character work, thinking of, you know, you're creative and everything you do, you're always going
- [11:16]
Brie Bella
outside of the box.
- [11:17]
Nikki Bella
You're going above and beyond, inside and outside of the ring. And have you ever, like, when you saw, let's say, Brie and Naomi's match or when you got into the industry, were there ever moments of doing, like, I want to do more and it's for women, like, of having that mindset of, like, I want to empower, I want to inspire, motivate, and create more.
- [11:39]
Brie Bella
Yes.
- [11:39]
Chelsea Green
But it took me a while to get there because at first I was. I was under the impression that we were all working together. And I realized really quickly, like, oh, that's not how everyone feels. And so then it was kind of dog eat dog for a couple years, and I was. I had a good group of girlfriends on the Indies and like, a good group of girlfriends at tna, but it was very much. We were all out for ourselves and we were just trying to build a name for ourselves. And so it.
- [12:08]
Brie Bella
It.
- [12:08]
Chelsea Green
I was really focused on getting to the top or getting a title or whatever that looked like in that moment. And, and that happened for a couple of years. And then I was really pushed outside my comfort zone at the end of my TNA run when I turned into the hot mess. So for anyone who doesn't know, obviously, I've got multiple characters in my wrestling career, and I was a drunk bride left at the altar. And I ended up wrestling for the next, like, year, year and a half, barefoot, in a wedding dress, like, no makeup. I mean, I just totally stripped down to. I could only rely on my character. I couldn't rely on, like, sexiness or beauty or anything like that that I had relied on before. And that really challenged me. And I was single at the time, so it killed me to know that if I was going on dates, they were seeing, like, they'd Google me and see that I was like, oh, my God, like, so embarrassing. But as. As the fans, like, started to fall in love with that Character made me realize so many different things. One being, I love character work. I love the theatrics of wrestling. I don't necessarily love being in the ring and wrestling. I love everything else that comes with it. And then on top of that, I also realized, wow, there is a place for every single girl in this locker room. You just have to find it. You might have thought that your character was like, you know, the hot girl or the Lucha girl or whatever it is, the badass Daredevil, but someone else might claim that little niche spot on the roster, and you do have something else to offer. So all those things kind of combined and went hand in hand. And now I feel like as I've come back to WWE in the past three years, it's the perfect storm of I want to let everybody know, like, there's a place for you. We just have to find it. Let's expose whatever. Whatever that place is. Even if you maybe don't feel like you found it or you feel like you're standing behind someone's shadow, like, that's. Then that's not it. There's something else for you, and we can work together to figure that out in the ring or behind the scenes with your character or with social media, or maybe it's like a different hobby that makes you special. There's just. There's so much to that that I just always want. I want the girls to realize that. And I feel like I've spoken to a lot of the NXT girls about that, and it makes me. I mean, even the indie girls, it makes me really, really proud to. To, like, usher the next era of women into. Into wrestling.
- [15:00]
Brie Bella
Right. Well, and you're doing a great job at it because, I mean, you really do nail your character work. When I can do something that is environmentally smart, I am all about it.

Brie Bella
One thing I love that you said Chelsea that you know, sometimes I feel like people just fall into wanting to compare all the women and the men too. But we were talking about women. But it's like everyone has their own niche character and. And we all do claim something different. Bring something and we want table and we're always trying to fan see that. We don't need you to compare all of us as one person. We're all something different telling a story, bringing you something just entertaining and fun to watch. Like watch. Just sit and watch. Like you know what?
- [17:53]
Chelsea Green
Yes, like sit and watch.
- [17:55]
Nikki Bella
You're right. Well and we need. We need these different characters and these different types of even wrestlers to connect to people worldwide. Right. Like they're gonna be. You know, when you look at athletics, people are athletic in all different kinds of ways. And yes, wwe, at the end of the day we are characters are welcomed.
- [18:17]
Brie Bella
Right? Right.
- [18:17]
Chelsea Green
We.
- [18:18]
Nikki Bella
We aren't UFC and we aren't boxing where something I think even better and more special because not only showcased athleticism and things this incredible movement and tell stories with that, but we also get to be Characters, Right.
- [18:30]
Brie Bella
Which you've brought back to life because,
- [18:32]
Nikki Bella
you know, for a little bit it's like certain things were missing. And then it's like you, I can't stop watching you.
- [18:38]
Brie Bella
Like, Brian was like, Chelsea Green was brilliant in the Royal Rumble. He was like, it was so fun watching her. And Brian's like, those moments. Add those moments, feel like I'm watching pro wrestling. And Brian feels like we miss, we miss those moments. We need more of those moments. But it was so fun to watch you in the Royal Rumble. But you know what else has been really fun, Chelsea to watch is all this stuff with you and Unreal. It's like the talk of Chelsea Green on Unreal, but we have to dive in.
- [19:14]
Nikki Bella
I mean, Undertaker, I mean, you had Undertaker.
- [19:17]
Brie Bella
I have goosebumps for you.
- [19:19]
Nikki Bella
I have goosebumps for you. Put you over to the moon. How did that feel when you watched that?
- [19:26]
Chelsea Green
I was on the phone with my sister and Matt texted me and Matt was like, did you, did you go on Twitter today? And I'm like, no, I don't have notifications on social media cuz otherwise it would, oh, it would drive me nuts. So I'll log on like once a day, do what I have to do and get off. And so I didn't see. So I'm on the phone with my sister and I quickly go on. I'm like, oh my God, what have I done, right? Like, what have I said? Because I'm always putting my foot in my mouth. So I go on and I see it and then I check my text and he's texted that to me too. Like, he has doubled down, got my phone number and texted me to, yes, to hype me up. And my sister and I just had this crazy moment of like, holy shit. Like, man, I'm doing it. I. I'm, I'm really doing it. And there's someone, look, I know everyone says, like, oh my gosh, you're. You're so funny. Or like, I watched you and like, that was hilarious. But there's always the same girls that is everyone's favorite wrestlers. Rhea is always going to be everyone's favorite wrestler. Stephanie is always going to be everyone's favorite wrestler.
- [20:33]
Brie Bella
Right?
- [20:33]
Chelsea Green
Like, and I'm used to that and I support them, I champion them. They're my favorite wrestlers too. But to hear Undertaker saying my name, sticking up for like little old me and, and saying it was such conviction. Like, he did not hesitate for a second second. And he had told me that in the text, like, what is my Life, Undertaker.
- [20:56]
Nikki Bella
I mean, even when, like, Michael Hayes put in some input and, like, the look on his face like you gave him, like, come on. I've been in the business for a long time. I was just like, damn. And I remember a time when Michelle and Undertaker complimented Bri and I about our reality show and, like, how we are as reality stars. And I remember how that felt, and that was just about reality tv. And so I can't even imagine the actual my WWE character and as a wrestler, how that would feel and, like, how he said it and on his podcast and knowing it would go to the world. I like he really.
- [21:34]
Brie Bella
Yeah.
- [21:35]
Nikki Bella
Thank you.
- [21:35]
Brie Bella
Yes.
- [21:36]
Chelsea Green
Oh, my God, thank you. I just. I'm, like, just so thankful because I feel like he really, like, stood 10 down, 10 toes down on how he felt and look like Michael Hayes has apologized to me and. And we've spoken about it and everything, but at the end of the day, I know that Undertaker has had my back because he booked me to win the Mix Triple A tag title. So he has believed in me since before Michael Hayes said that. And someone of that, like, high caliber or high status in wrestling, like, that means a lot to me. You know, he doesn't waste his breath on anyone.
- [22:16]
Brie Bella
Oh, he really does.
- [22:17]
Nikki Bella
Anyone.
- [22:18]
Brie Bella
So that it says everything, everything that the fans believe in, too. Let's be honest. Like, the fans love you. I feel like they're super behind you and they've been waiting for these moments, these golden moments for you. And so it was amazing to see Undertaker say that. And you. You know, sometimes in the wrestling business, people don't understand that we don't always get to hear positivity. We don't always get the words of affirmation. And so it me, we, us wrestlers hang on to those moments. So. And I. I'm backstage. I know, so I know what that meant for you, and that's. I makes me really happy because I know you don't get the compliments you deserve. And so I. When I saw Undertaker do that, I literally, I think, teared up a little bit because I'm like, Chelsea deserves that. Yeah.
- [23:07]
Chelsea Green
Oh, thank you, guys. It just. Yeah, you're right. Like, words of affirmation are so. They're so big in our industry, but. But we don't need it. Like, we love it from the fans, but. But that's not the same as someone who is backstage who's done the grind or is doing the grind. Who knows what we put in? Who knows how hard the quote unquote, mid Carters work or the underdogs or, you know, like the little people. Because at the end of the day, we don't always get that, like the glory that some of the, the top girls get. So it just honestly, like you said, like, I will hold on to that and take it with me into 20, 27, 2028. I'll take it with me. For the rest of my damn life. I'll be telling my kids this.
- [23:54]
Nikki Bella
I love it. And you know, I, I agree with you because I'm going to take advice or take in words of affirmations or opinions or judgments by people who understand my industry, who have been through a journey. Who knows what women go through in a male dominated industry. That's why I like to interview women who have dominated male dominated industries because they understand. I'm not going to listen to critics online who have never broken a barrier, who have never been in a room that's more full of men than women, who have never been in a room where people are like, they're not going to do it. They're not going to have success. I'm not going to listen to that. So I love that you bring up that point, which is such an important point for people to know. Take advice, soak in, Let your mind soak in and take opinions from people that understand what you do in whatever industry.
- [24:46]
Brie Bella
And let's be honest, until you walk in someone's shoes, you probably shouldn't assume anything or make an opinion or you'll look like an.
- [24:55]
Chelsea Green
So why don't you tell all of Twitter that, please?
- [24:59]
Brie Bella
Do you know what my big thing with social media haters are? Brave fingers. I will tell you. Brave fingers. Tiny wieners. If you come at me, you just told me you had a tiny wiener. So I feel like people are scared to hate on me. I love that because I will go to your biopic, I will stare very hard and I just will be like, tiny wiener. For sure. I'm looking at tiny, tiny, tiny.
- [25:26]
Nikki Bella
Now in defense for the tiny wieners, there's incredible men with tiny wieners, but
- [25:31]
Brie Bella
still the ones who are just, I
- [25:33]
Chelsea Green
think we're talking like these, these men have tiny wieners and don't know how to use it.
- [25:38]
Brie Bella
Exactly.
- [25:38]
Nikki Bella
That's what I say.
- [25:40]
Brie Bella
You're right. It's not about tiny winners.
- [25:43]
Nikki Bella
It's dudes that don't get laid.
- [25:45]
Brie Bella
That's what it is. But you know, but you know, but just know, Bri is visualizing you like that. So come at me and I will so, like visually tear you apart. And it'll make me feel good. I love that.
- [25:58]
Nikki Bella
You know what I mean? Okay, so let's get, let's get back into Women's History Month.
- [26:01]
Brie Bella
Not tiny. I can go. Let's move. Best that.
- [26:06]
Nikki Bella
Oh my goodness. So when you think, Chelsea, of Women's History Month, as a WWE Superstar, who comes to your mind first?
- [26:15]
Chelsea Green
Oh my gosh. I guess off the top of my head. Alundra Blaze.
- [26:22]
Brie Bella
Yeah.
- [26:22]
Nikki Bella
Yeah, for sure.

Chelsea Green
Like that's a big one. But then, you know, like, because I am Canadian, I, I go to like my favorite Canadians too. Like I go to a Celine Dion. I mean, right? Like there's just, there's so many amazing Canadian women too. And I, I mean, Women's History Month. I, I love it because I am such a social justice warrior online for causes or something that, you know, things that matter to me and, and obviously equality is one like women's equality and just being in a male dominated industry and really having to scratch and claw while the men just kind of like watched me or tore me apart on the indies like it. It means so much to me to again elevate women and make sure that I'm on the right side of history. Whether it be politically, whether it be. Whether with the way that I carry myself in media, whatever it is. I always just wanna make sure that I'm really fighting for the rights of women, especially right now.
- [27:37]
Brie Bella
Yes, it's so true, Chelsea. And we love that you're that type of warrior. I mean so much. You have no idea.

Why have I asked my electrician I found on Angie.com to bury my pet hamster Nibbles in our yard for me? Because I was so moved by how carefully he buried my electrical wires. I knew I could trust him to bury my sweet Nibbles after his untimely end.
- [28:29]
Chelsea Green
Huh?
- [28:29]
Angie.com Customer
Nibbles gone too soon. May he scurry in peace.
- [28:33]

Brie Bella
And to keep this going, I feel like we need to do a little rapid fire.
- [28:54]
Nikki Bella
I agree.
- [28:56]
Chelsea Green
This is where I get myself in trouble.
- [28:58]
Brie Bella
Oh, well, hey, you never get in trouble with the Bellas, by the way.
- [29:02]
Nikki Bella
No, you don't.
- [29:03]
Brie Bella
We are, like. You can say whatever you want us. I mean, we never get offended, but also, like, we love when people just say what's on their mind. Like, we don't give a. Like, no one's perfect.
- [29:13]
Chelsea Green
Story of my life.
- [29:14]
Brie Bella
Yeah, I mean, Nikki's life, too. Like, be honest.
- [29:17]
Nikki Bella
You know, it's a headline, Nikki's ahead moment.
- [29:22]
Brie Bella
And I talk. I don't. Headlines. I'm like, all right, But I think they.
- [29:26]
Chelsea Green
I know, but there's something about, like, a. A hot little single hottie toddy like Nikki. Unfortunately, Bri and. And I will never make the same headlines that single little Nikki does.
- [29:37]
Brie Bella
Yeah, I agree.
- [29:38]
Nikki Bella
Seriously.
- [29:39]
Brie Bella
I agree. All right, so this.
- [29:41]
Nikki Bella
Got to be a virgin from now on.
- [29:42]
Brie Bella
No, do not do yourself.
- [29:45]
Nikki Bella
You're damn right I would not do that.
- [29:46]
Brie Bella
Do not do that to that. You know, I just watched the episode of the depressed vagina on Sex in the City. What? Oh, yes.
- [29:53]
Chelsea Green
Oh, my gosh.
- [29:54]
Commercial Narrator
So good.
- [29:55]
Brie Bella
It's so good.
- [29:56]
Nikki Bella
Their masturbation talk at the table is, like, my favorite because everything. Sex in the City.
- [30:01]
Brie Bella
I feel like there hasn't been a show that's top Sex in the City.
- [30:04]
Nikki Bella
No.
- [30:05]
Chelsea Green
Well, no, but also because everyone would get so offended. Offended and upset by every conversation, when actually, if you have girlfriends, those are all the conversations we're having. If you see my group chat, I mean. Well, you. You don't want to know what's in my group chat.
- [30:21]
Brie Bella
Oh, I bet I would love it. I bet I would, actually.
- [30:25]
Chelsea Green
I bet you would. You would know the ph balances of all of our vaginas.
- [30:30]
Brie Bella
Gosh, I've got to figure out mine, you know, because I feel like you were starting to talk, like, I don't know. That's for another. All right, Women's History Month Legacy Rapid Fire Fire. Here we go. One woman from history you wish you could have dinner with right now.
- [30:47]
Chelsea Green
Alona, the rugby player.
- [30:49]
Nikki Bella
Oh, she's amazing.
- [30:51]
Chelsea Green
I. She's so freaking funny. I want to pick her brain. And I know that's crazy, because that's, like, recent history, but we're still going with her.
- [30:58]
Brie Bella
No, I love that. And by the way, you should DM her. I bet she would meet you for dinner I totally think so.
- [31:04]
Chelsea Green
We should feel like maybe she would.
- [31:06]
Nikki Bella
Yeah, yeah. Invite. Invite her to WrestleMania.
- [31:10]
Brie Bella
Oh, she was.
- [31:10]
Chelsea Green
Oh, my gosh. I would love that.
- [31:12]
Nikki Bella
Say, like, you want to do some collab content and.
- [31:16]
Brie Bella
Yeah, but. But. Okay.
- [31:18]
Nikki Bella
Bring her to WrestleMania.
- [31:20]
Chelsea Green
Yeah, you're right. You're right, you're right. That's a great call.
- [31:23]
Brie Bella
Okay. One woman in your life who shaped you the most?
- [31:27]
Chelsea Green
Oh, my. I mean, my mom, obviously, my mom. And I've witnessed my mom go through so much. I mean, she had a whole scandal in our little hometown, and she worked through it, and she has been through therapy, and she's had so many ups and downs and just been, like, so harshly judged, and I've been there and watched it all and been by her side and watched her handle it with, like, grace and kindness, and she never changed. And I really, really respect that now. Whenever I go through something, I mean, I call my mom immediately. My mom knows everything.
- [32:02]
Brie Bella
I love that. Chelsea.
- [32:04]
Nikki Bella
Moms are the best.
- [32:05]
Brie Bella
They really are equal.
- [32:07]
Chelsea Green
She's definitely gonna see this, and she's gonna cry and call me.
- [32:12]
Brie Bella
I love it. I need to have dinner with your mom.
- [32:14]
Nikki Bella
Yes, we do.
- [32:15]
Chelsea Green
Oh, you. Trust me, you. Unless you can drink, like, four bottles of wine per person, which, actually, I feel like you guys could. You don't want to have dinner with my mom because.
- [32:26]
Brie Bella
All right, we'll bring the case of wine. Yeah. Next question. Equality in women you admire deeply.
- [32:35]
Chelsea Green
Equality, did you say? I. I think. I think true kindness. Like, I think. And I think kindness is such, like, an umbrella word, because under. Kindness is like, compassion, empathy, generosity. And I think that someone that has. I. I mean, who is just kind to her core is Maxine from wwe.
- [32:59]
Brie Bella
Yeah.
- [32:59]
Chelsea Green
And I mean, that's why I love her so much. That's why she was immediately my best friend. And, like, she's someone who. You look at her and you're like, surely there's a. Like, something wrong with you. Surely.
- [33:11]
Brie Bella
You're.
- [33:11]
Chelsea Green
You're mean. You're too pretty. To also be kind and empathetic and compassionate and generous and everything, but she's truly, like, the perfect specimen.
- [33:22]
Nikki Bella
Yeah.
- [33:22]
Brie Bella
Yeah, she really is. And she's gone through stuff and still smiles. You know what I mean?
- [33:27]
Chelsea Green
Yes, exactly. Yes, exactly. Like, I just feel like once people realize how incredible she is, she's going to skyrocket to fame in one way or another. Like, I feel it.
- [33:39]
Brie Bella
I agree with you for sure already. Myth about strong women that needs to die.
- [33:47]
Chelsea Green
Oh, I guess that, like, we don't want somebody to take charge and we don't want to step down. Like, I'm very much an alpha, but, like. But, like, challenge me and. And let me step back and be, like, the dom. Be the alpha in this relationship. We can. We can go back and forth. Like, even though I am so overbearing in my relationship, so routine, so type A, that doesn't mean that I don't want to take a step back and let you be that person.
- [34:17]
Brie Bella
For sure.
- [34:18]
Nikki Bella
Gosh.
- [34:18]
Brie Bella
I agree.
- [34:19]
Chelsea Green
But I think people are scared.
- [34:21]
Nikki Bella
That's a great one.
- [34:22]
Brie Bella
That is really good.
- [34:23]
Nikki Bella
Men are.
- [34:23]
Chelsea Green
Men are scared. Women are scared. Everyone's scared of a very type A woman.
- [34:27]
Brie Bella
Yes.
- [34:28]
Nikki Bella
Oh, yeah. Serious.
- [34:30]
Brie Bella
What does real power look like in a woman?
- [34:34]
Chelsea Green
I think quietness. I think there's, like, power in being able to shut up. And that's something I've learned. I don't always need to voice my opinion when I don't agree with something. And I. You know, there are certain things I'll fight for, but there's power in saying nothing and just remembering those things, remembering what people are showing you. You know, my sister's dated the worst men lately. The worst. And I keep telling her, like, when someone shows you a red flag, stop giving them the benefit of the doubt. Stop it. We're too old for that. You've been through too much. Believe it.
- [35:12]
Nikki Bella
Saw it.
- [35:13]
Chelsea Green
It's a red flag. Walk around, turn around, walk the other way. Done.
- [35:17]
Brie Bella
Right. So true, so true, so true.
- [35:22]
Chelsea Green
Right.
- [35:22]
Brie Bella
Next point at me. I might have. All right, a moment. You felt most powerful.
- [35:29]
Chelsea Green
I mean, I think I will feel the most powerful when I give birth. I think, like, as my girlfriends, I. I was on FaceTime with my best friend when she gave birth, and it was like, oh, my God, I. I felt like it was me. Like, I felt her, like, energy and, like, aura, and the. Just the strength was incredible. I couldn't believe it. So for now, the time I felt most powerful is just, you know, at after I graduated. Leaving, leaving the comfort of my home and, you know, my dad, who would totally pay for whatever I wanted. Sounds so privileged. And it is. But, like, leaving that. Not ever. Asking for money, not asking for anything, Doing everything my. And moving to America and not knowing anyone and figuring out how to get a green card and building an entire life in a different country with absolutely zero help.
- [36:26]
Nikki Bella
Yeah, I love that. And you have. By the way, you have such a great husband for labor. Like, someone who I feel is gonna be like, whoa, we can't believe you can do all that.
- [36:36]
Brie Bella
I don't know. I think Matt might faint. Do you think he'd faint?
- [36:39]
Chelsea Green
Oh, yes. Are you kidding me? He cannot handle, like a trickle of blood. He had to leave the room when I broke my arm and they reset it. He didn't even hold my hand. The nurse had to hold my hand. So I fear I. I will be giving birth alone or with my sister. But that's okay because my sister and I do everything together. And really, Matt is the third wheel on our relationship.
- [37:00]
Brie Bella
Yeah, I love it. I hear you on that.
- [37:02]
Nikki Bella
That's weird.
- [37:03]
Brie Bella
Brian's our third wheel for sure. Yeah.
- [37:06]
Nikki Bella
And also, yeah to you, Chelsea, too. For everything you've done, coming, you know, into a country and doing what you've done.
- [37:13]
Chelsea Green
Thank you.
- [37:13]
Brie Bella
Downplay that.
- [37:14]
Nikki Bella
That was amazing.
- [37:16]
Brie Bella
Thank you. What about a woman you think doesn't get enough credit?
- [37:21]
Chelsea Green
Oh, my gosh.
- [37:23]
Brie Bella
Is there anyone else?
- [37:25]
Chelsea Green
There's like a hundred. I think every woman in power doesn't get enough credit. I think every woman who goes against the system and fight in a male dominated industry, like, everyone, like, you know what I mean? There's just. There's so many that I'm like, I could so. I couldn't even name one and I could obviously go into our industry and I mean, say like, Aria Ripley. Because, I mean, I think she's the best women's wrestler in the world. And I would love for people to just call her the best wrestler in the world. I could say that. But you know what I can't wait for, ladies? There's going to be a moment in history, and I believe I'm going to probably get this wrong, but I believe in Europe, where all the rulers will be women, all the heirs to the thrones are about to be women. And that's crazy. And I can't wait to see, like, maybe that shifts everything. Everyone's views on women and leadership.
- [38:28]
Brie Bella
I love that. And when that happens, we're all gonna pop some Dom and have some caviar. You know what I mean? That's right.
- [38:33]
Chelsea Green
That's right. Pop our little pussies and some caviar and dog.
- [38:37]
Brie Bella
There you go, Chelsea. All right, I have two more for you. One thing women need to stop apologizing for.
- [38:45]
Chelsea Green
Well, okay, I mean, obviously the obvious answer is being loud, but I did say there's power in being quiet. But I think, I think just being like, truly ourselves, I think we embrace men who are really loud and obnoxious and we think it's so funny, but we can't embrace women the same way. And we see it in comedy. All the time. Like, all the time. I was just having a conversation with a bunch of men about, like, okay, who's your favorite female comedian? And they could not answer. I'm like, you're telling me you don't find Nikki funny? You're. You know what I mean? Like, you're telling me that all these amazing comedians you don't find funny, but it's because they're women and they're obnoxious and you, you love to see it in men, but you don't always love to see it in women. And I think women, you know, sometimes we also feel that way about women too. So, like, maybe we could all shift our views on that, but that probably would be it.
- [39:41]
Brie Bella
Yeah, I love that.

- [40:41]
Chelsea Green
Oh, my gosh. I mean, we all elevate everyone. Every single person. I was having a great conversation with Bianca Belair. And so I don't want to steal this quote because she said it to me, but she was like, I. I got to the top because people above me looked down and reached down and pulled me up. I didn't get there because I stepped on everyone underneath me and, and climbed on top of them and I was just like, it just like gave me chills. Like, damn, you're so right. If everyone at the top just looked down at the, you know, the people below them and was like, come on, come up. Like, there's, there's enough room for you too. It would just, I mean, we'd all be there. We would all be at the top. We'd all be making more money. We would all be celebrating each other more. Would have More women in power. We would have, you know, maybe some of our rights back. We would like all those. All those things. It's. And. And it's obviously in show business, but. But it's everywhere, and it's in everything. And I'm sure it's at desk jobs, too, where women are fighting to get that tippy top position of CEO, cfo, whatever it is. And. And. And they're, you know, hoping to step on someone, to. To get there. And I just. I've just realized, like, there's a place for everybody but you. You truly have to believe that. Like, you can't just say it. You really have to believe it, and you have to watch others pass you and know that your time will come for sure.
- [42:08]
Brie Bella
You know, I watched this reel on Instagram. This woman was in this village, and she's like, look, the moon is patiently waiting to shine while the sun is shining. But the moon knows it's important. It's just not. It's time to shine. So as the sun is out here shining for all of us, slowly going down, then all of a sudden, the moon comes up and shines, and they both just patiently wait, and it gives me chills. But she went into this whole thing, and I'm like, both important. Both need a sign and know when it's their time. And if we could take that in our human spirit and, you know, in any work you do or even just whatever it may be that you do in life, and we treat each other that way, oh, my gosh, we'd all be shiny. Yes.
- [42:54]
Chelsea Green
And you know what? Like, I really think you just made me think about unreal, because, so everyone got so upset, obviously, about what Michael Hayes said about me. But, like, at the end of the day, that's also kind of what he was saying. Like, was he putting me down a little bit?
- [43:13]
Nikki Bella
Yes.
- [43:14]
Chelsea Green
Was he maybe putting a ceiling on me? Yes. But, like, I more so looked at it like that. I looked at it like, Tiffany Stratton cannot be Tiffany Stratton without a Chelsea Green without me laying on the ground and her pinning me. Right? Like, the crowd can't react to nothing. The crowd is reacting because she did an amazing move on me or because I took an amazing bump for her. Like, I. There's. There. There's room for everyone.
- [43:38]
Brie Bella
There's room for everyone, Chelsea.
- [43:41]
Nikki Bella
You know, Steve Kern taught Bri and I that at fcw. Like, if you're going to be the one to lose all the time, find the best ways to lose. But it gets you on the Card. And so our first five years, we were. We were the same. And we made it. We made it the best. And we always were like, it's about the match. It's about the story. Who cares about the wins and losses? And we're a part of it, and we're. We. When I look back, I'm like, look at where it got us. It's going to get you somewhere. But if you're the person, that's the thing, right? Your journey's beginning. You're going to look back and be like, guys, this was my journey. This is where it got me. This is what I've learned. And people forget about that. And I don't want success just handed to me. So here's all your wins. Here's all this. What do I learn from that?
- [44:27]
Brie Bella
Nothing.
- [44:28]
Nikki Bella
What can I teach about that? Later on in life, I learn nothing. It gives me nothing.
- [44:33]
Brie Bella
What you learn is pressure and stress.
- [44:34]
Nikki Bella
I want to be challenged. I. I want. I want someone to deny me so bad that it gives me fire, to be better and. And look within of, like, why ask myself questions. And so it's. It's all, we're living the best journey, and it's a part of something so big and great.
- [44:52]
Brie Bella
I agree. And amen.
- [44:55]
Nikki Bella
Amen.
- [44:55]
Brie Bella
And I feel like we've all given a lot of inspiration this episode, but we do end our episodes with a little inspiration, affirmation. Is there a quote or a mantra you live by?
- [45:06]
Chelsea Green
I think probably heavy is the head that wears the crown. Don't let the greatness get you down. Because I really do feel like we want, want, want, want, want, and then we get. And we're not happy. We're not happy with it. And it. And it's. We see it so much in wrestling. We see it so much in Hollywood. Like. Like, when is enough enough? And. And, you know, I thought going into this industry, I. I just spoke about this actually with Tiffany the other day. I thought going into this industry, I wanted to be famous. And I quickly realized, like, no, wait, that isn't what I wanted. What I wanted was provide for my family, to. To be comfortable financially and to be able to, you know, be. Fly my mom and my sister down to visit me, to have a really healthy, happy relationship with my husband, to, you know, have my dream dogs and build a beautiful house. I don't. I don't need the rest of it. And now I feel like I am there. Like, financially, I feel stable. I feel great. So whatever comes after this is just a bonus. And if I Just keep wanting, wanting, wanting. Like, goals are great, but, like, being greedy. You'll never be happy. And when you get to the top, it's not going to be the top. Like, the view is going to be shit. So I just kind of, like, I always remind myself that I'm like, I'm like, don't. Don't get greedy. Like, you have so much. You have what people dream of. And you know, my girlfriends, that, that do have desk jobs or that, you know, like, live very normal lives, like my sister, they're looking at me and like, damn, you get to travel the world and like, build this dream life. So, you know, I have to just stop and. And be happy. You don't. The. The top is never the top when you're constantly striving for the top.
- [46:59]
Brie Bella
So I agree.
- [46:59]
Nikki Bella
Paper. Paper chasing doesn't bring fulfillment. That is.
- [47:04]
Brie Bella
Well, no. And what?
- [47:05]
Nikki Bella
And it doesn't let you be present.
- [47:06]
Brie Bella
Right. Well, and, you know, I just put this real up in my. You. I don't know if you guys saw in my IGs the other day, but they try to tell us what success is. And it's having the Dom Perry on all the money, the, you know, first class, the diamonds, the Gucci, whatever it is. That's not success. Success is that I get to sit in hawk duty with my chickens, hear my kids running and laughing barefooted, seeing my gardens grow. Like, success is being with my husband. I've been with like, I don't know, we've been together 14, 15 years, still very happily together. And I was like, success is. All the things that they're trying to tell us is success. It isn't that. It's. There's no price tag on real success.
- [47:49]
Nikki Bella
Success is when you can figure out how to make the most of time. Because we only have so much time.
- [47:55]
Brie Bella
Yes. Right.
- [47:56]
Nikki Bella
You know, and I if. When you can figure that out and go, damn, this is what I get to do with my time. That's success.
- [48:04]
Brie Bella
And we can all.
- [48:05]
Chelsea Green
I totally agree.
- [48:06]
Nikki Bella
Not the Gucci that sits in the closet.
- [48:08]
Brie Bella
Shit. Don't waste your money on the Gucci. Chelsea, you are amazing. We love you so much. I can't wait till we get back on the road and we can get some wine time in.
- [48:22]
Chelsea Green
Me too. Can you please come to smackdown? We miss you guys.
- [48:25]
Nikki Bella
