During Friday's SmackDown, Chelsea Green lost the Women's United States Championship in an upset loss to Zelina Vega. It's been an entertaining run for Green, and one that many fans feel ended too soon.
Green is taking it all in stride, though, sharing a cheeky social media post declaring herself "America's greatest ASSet." Needless to say, it took no time at all for the photo to go viral among wrestling fans.
During a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, Green detailed original plans for her first WWE title win. After inviting her friends and family to Survivor Series: WarGames, the company decided her big win would take place elsewhere.
"I was supposed to win it at Survivor Series in, not only in Canada on the West Coast," she explained. "And do you know how many tickets I bought for that show? [You had to buy them?] Oh, well, that's a whole other conversation. But keep in mind when I say bought [tickets], I had like 30 friends and family there."
"I had every bridesmaid and I had like 12 bridesmaids. I had every bridesmaid there, all of their partners. I had their babies there. I had all of my family, my mom's friends, everyone was there," Green added. "I don’t know when the plans changed, but when I found out was probably a week before."
She also reflected on learning she'd become the first-ever WWE Women's United States Champion. "[They] had me walk to the ring, and then they had this very, very, very awkward moment between me and Shane Helms where he basically told me that I'm winning, we were just all downplaying it big time and it was very awkward."
"I hope that footage comes out, because Triple H is sitting there watching us have the conversation, but he's not telling me. But obviously he decided it, and I'm like this is so weird that he's watching me react, so I'm trying to be excited, but I've also kind of known and hoped that this was gonna happen, and then I'm also like but if I react too big is that kind of icky?"
"I'm so excited I'm winning, do you know what I mean? A lot of emotions were going through me and I'm not a very emotional person too, so that doesn't help the reaction. So it was very awkward. So I hope that moment airs somewhere. I hope you guys all get to see that," Green concluded.
While it's great to see Vega finally win a championship in WWE, it's likely Green will recapture the title, especially as she and the Secret HERvice have been such a hit with fans watching the blue brand.
