Chelsea Green on possible Total Divas return: ‘The demand is there’
Chelsea Green discussed her love for Total Divas and how much she wants the show to return in a recent interview.
The former WWE Women’s United States Champion appeared on The Lightweights podcast and was asked if she’s ever considered the possibility of the reality show returning. Green did not hesitate to respond:
“Joe, every day. Every minute of every hour of every day I think about Total Divas. The demand is there and I get told that all the time. I’ve also been told by numerous different people in WWE and outside of WWE and Hollywood that they’ve been pushing for it for years.”
“I think it’ll happen whether it’s called Total Divas or not I think it’ll come back in one way or another because how could it not?” Green continued.
“Truly, Total Divas is what got 75 percent of the females in NXT there,” she continued. “It attracted those women to wrestling.”
Green says that when she speaks to her high school friends, they always want to know who from Total Divas she is working with.
“When I talk to a regular girly from Canada, one of the girls I went to high school with, one of my best friends, they know wrestling through knowing Natty and the Bellas through Total Divas. Like, they don’t care about winning or losing, they just want to know who I work with that was on Total Divas and I get it, I was there.”
“I think my goal is to always attract women to wrestling and it’s not necessarily because like I need you to love wrestling, I just loved the fan base that surrounded Total Divas because I was in it, I was a fangirl. That’s why I am obsessed with the Bellas. And look at them, their following is amazing. They have a cult following of women. That’s what I want. F— the boys, I want the girlies and the gays to follow me.”
When asked who she would want in the cast of a Total Divas revival, Green mentioned Maxxine Dupri, Tiffany Stratton, Nia Jax, Natalya, Naomi and possibly Bianca Belair as cast members.
Green also noted that she’s done extensive filming for the Netflix series WWE: Unreal but is unsure how much she will be featured when the show is released. She says she is eyeing future roles in Hollywood as well.
“I would like to be the crossover talent for the females cause we haven’t really seen that yet. We saw the Bellas, obviously cross over between WWE and reality TV, WWE and entrepreneurship; I think they’ve done amazing with that, but I don’t think we’ve truly seen a woman cross over and do WWE and Hollywood yet.”
