Cardi B in the WWE? It could have happened – at least if Chelsea Green had her way!
Whether it be referencing Jimmy Snuka or providing the theme song for Summerslam, Cardi B has made her love for wrestling well-known since the start of her career. Though she’s yet to officially step inside the squared circle, the Grammy-award winner has called an appearance with the WWE “some type of dream” in a September interview with Peter Rosenberg.
Ironically, it was Chelsea Green who was among the first to respond to Cardi B – and, evidently, it was never forgotten about.
Green’s attempted invite to Cardi B coincided with the Hot Mess capturing her first-ever WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship, with her and partner Sonya Deville defeating Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan for the titles. Unfortunately, shortly after, Deville was forced to relinquish her portion of the championships following an injury. However, rather than simply give up her title, Green started the hashtag #ChelseasGotTalent, with individuals both inside and outside of the WWE responding to becoming her future tag team partner.
However, recently chatting with Love Wrestling, Green revealed that she did have her eye on a certain tag team partner – or, a potential competitor!
“I love that question, because you know me, as usual, it’s see where things go,” Green mused. “It’s just like fly by the seat of my pants. However, I’m being honest? I wanted Cardi B! And, if I couldn’t get Cardi B, I wanted to wrestle Cardi B! There [were] just so many good options in Chelsea’s Got Talent!”
While Cardi B herself never offered up a response, Green was quick to highlight how many people were eager to team with the Hot Mess.
“What I really liked is that we saw people from all over,” she stated. “We did see main roster talent and announcers. We saw Cathy Kelley, we saw R-Tuth. But, we also saw really amazing NXT talent that people hadn’t really seen yet.
Karmen from NXT auditioned. We saw reality stars, like Heidi Montag from The Hills. So, I mean, it could have been anyone, and I hadn’t decided yet! You know, it was only just the preliminary rounds. Nobody made it to the semi-finals and the finals.
