WWE: Chelsea Green Has Apologized Following Real-Life Controversy

“My fellow PatriHOTS, I, your CommandHER in Chief, need to apologize… For making your timelines suffer without me these past several weeks. Your first ever (and next) Women’s United States Champion, star of episode 3 of WWE Unreal on Netflix and episode 127 of the 22nd season on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live sadly cannot be everywhere at once.”

Green also revealed that going forward, she will have a director of social media to manage her content online.

“Going forward, my DirectHER of Social Media will have a presence on this account alongside myself as we continue to paint this app — and the entire WWE Universe — Red, White & GREEN!” she added.

Green has been known for her boisterous nature in the WWE ring as well as online. She has often voiced in-character frustrations online and even interacted regularly with the fan accounts. For many social media users, this will be a welcome return.

About the author

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
