Chelsea Green returned to the WWE a little less than a year ago, but before that, the Hot Mess had a nearly three-year stint with the company. For the most part, Green was a part of the NXT brand, briefly teaming with Charlotte Flair and aligning herself with Robert Stone.

Since re-signing with WWE, Green has been a staple of both RAW and Smackdown.

However, on October 31st, Green made her return to NXT. That night, she and Piper Niven defended their tag team titles against Jacy Jayne and Thea Hail of Chase Academy.

As Green detailed in her recent interview with Love Wrestling, it was cathartic returning to the former black-and-gold brand.

“There was a lot of different feelings about it [and] a lot of mixed emotions, because my time at NXT was so rocky,” she began. “I was there, and then I had broken my arm, and then I was on the main roster, and then I got called back down to NXT. I had one Takeover Wrestlemania match that had no crowd. It was just a really, really unique experience for me.”

However, Green continued, her recent return more than made up for her first run with the brand.

“Finally, this time when I was able to go back, it was almost the experience that I had wished I had then. I felt like there was a lot of respect shown to me, and everyone was really, really sweet. The match was awesome. NXT just has a completely different crowd and energy than Smackdown or RAW in a really, really positive way. Every single show has a different crowd and a different energy, but NXT has something completely different and special.”

Elsewhere, Green detailed her goal of wrestling Cardi B as part of her viral #ChelseasGotTalent trend.

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.
