Starting point is 00:00:00 Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Van Flee! This is all for you, Chelsea. I know, you, first of all, Christopher, two things. One, you completely mixed up my entrance, so I will give you a chance to redo that. But also, how about him really throwing me under the bus and saying that this sold out before I was announced? Well.
Starting point is 00:00:40 Then a bunch of people were like, Hey, we really want to come and see Chelsea. I said, too bad. Should have believed in me. You knew I was going to bring a fire guest. Okay, there we go. You redeemed yourself. That's what I meant.
Starting point is 00:00:50 But it is first, fourth, and final. United States Women's Champion. And, of course, one half of the greatest mixed triple-a-a-a-a-a-tag team champion. That's it. Please forgive me. Forgiven. As a fellow Canadian. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:13 How does it feel? How's this second run feel for you? Oh. It's kind of new. It's kind of fresh. I really haven't had a chance to let it digest. But, you know, what tonight is, tonight is my coronation,
Starting point is 00:01:29 my inauguration on SmackDown. So ask me after tonight. Okay. Yeah. When do we go live? We just went live. So ask me in like 10 minutes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:01:40 Yeah, and then I'll know how to say. You and Ethan Page. you're making magic together. And it's not just because you're Canadians. And also, by the way, I love the double-double reference. That's something that only Canadians will get. So in Canada, when you go to Tim Horton's a very famous coffee shop, when you get two creams, two sugar, it's called a double-double.
Starting point is 00:02:00 I've never heard anyone say, like, Tim Horton's a coffee shop. But yeah. You're right. Like, I'm going to go to Starbucks. That's my local coffee shop. Oh, I've heard of that. Yeah, a double-double. It's a very famous drink.
Starting point is 00:02:10 If you ever go to Timmy Hose in Canada, You gotta get it, you gotta get a double double. You gotta get a double double. Just kidding. That was just a NXT reference. It's fine. It's fine. I heard you've never been cream done like this before.
Starting point is 00:02:25 The jokes could have kept coming. But I stopped myself, okay? I did. I did, I stopped myself. Is that something you, did you have that one ready to go? So, no, actually that just came off the top of my head. No, I can't believe they posted that. Like, I am shocked.
Starting point is 00:02:52 I came back from, you know, the creaming. And I said it, and I was like, okay, do we need to redo that? And he was like, no, I'm going to post it. I'm like, what? And Ethan was like, no, no, please God, no. the things that I make that man do. Oh my gosh, God bless him. But, yeah, and then they posted it and it went viral.
Starting point is 00:03:19 And I was shocked. But, like, they do be posting crazy things because sometimes Ria and Dom, they were saying some crazy shit, right? Like, crazy, crazy stuff. So maybe I shouldn't be surprised and I should do that more often. You got some ready to go?
Starting point is 00:03:39 Well, I just used my coming one. Jesus. I need another Red Bull first. Nobody had more fun with that than your husband, Matt Cardona. Okay. I am the butt of the joke in my house, and he, every time that I think I've done something funny, he always has to one-up me.
Starting point is 00:04:01 That's very upsetting. I thought that was great. And then he comes out with all these amazing memes. I'm like... Matt Cardona didn't return to WWE. Zach Ryder returned to WWA. How did you feel as a proud wife that night? Oh my gosh. Okay, so I've never really worked with Zach Ryder.
Starting point is 00:04:28 I mean, we were ships passing in the night for years at the beginning of our relationship. And then we only really came together in TNA and kind of on the Indies for two years. And then I was re-signed again. And, you know, I kept yapping, running my mouth, telling everyone he was going to return is Matt Cardona and I had to eat my words when he came back as Zach Ryder. But it was really, it was really cool because I, I've never had a chance to just, like, sit in the crowd and listen to everybody react to Zach Ryder. I've never really been there for, like, the woo, woo, woo, woo thing, except when I did it
Starting point is 00:05:07 at Saturday Night Main Event and when I did it all in, like, then I felt a little bit of it. But it was really surreal. And I was, I knew that moment was going to come. I just, I think we had been hoping for that moment to come every rumble for the past five years. And it didn't, obviously, there was no rumble moment. So I just didn't expect that this was going to be the moment. And he said he had gear ready, like he's had gear ready for years. Come on.
Starting point is 00:05:35 MC or ZR knee pads. Always ready, yes. It's not just a catchphrase. No, it's not. He really, like seriously, he is always ready for a moment like that. It's crazy. That I've kind of learned my habits of being ready for anything through him because our closet is full of potential, my God, potential moments that he thinks he's going to have.
Starting point is 00:06:00 I like, you know, I like a manifestation. We love that for him. Tell me about the moment when he came back through the curtain after that match and you were there to meet him. Okay, well, first of all, so I was sitting in guerrilla the whole time. And when he went out when his music hit, I've never been that nervous in my whole career. It's been 12 years of a lot of crazy moments. I was like sweating. I was so nervous.
Starting point is 00:06:31 So I felt relieved when he came back because we've got no broken bones. Nothing got fucked up. You know, everyone cheered. And it went well. So I was happy. I mean, that's all you can ask for. It's wrestling, right? Like, crazy stuff happens all the time.
Starting point is 00:06:48 As long as you come to the back and no one went, ooh, it's pretty good. Successful night, I think. Did he have a whole week of, like, building the excitement for this to happen? So the crazy thing is, is that with WWE, they can say something's going to happen. And until you are, I want to say at the show, but even at the show, things can change because it's live TV. So until I knew that L.A. night was walking to gorilla, like I couldn't get excited because I have been on the receiving end of many of, oh, you're going to get this.
Starting point is 00:07:25 No, maybe next week. Oh, you are going to go out there and win. Oh, no, you broke your arm. You know what I mean? Like all those little moments. So it's crazy how you just like you cannot, I can't even remember what you just asked me actually. Am I, it's doing my own story time here?
Starting point is 00:07:45 Yeah, sure. What did you ask me? The whole week of preparing for it and getting excited about it. So, no, I could not get excited. Long story long, I could not get excited. But I was like a little excited when he was flying with me to New York. And the morning of the show, I had Good Day, New York. And he came.
Starting point is 00:08:04 And then as I'm walking out, TMZ was outside. And he panicked because it's like, oh my God. Like, they're going to, everything's going to be blown if, and then he'll never get the moment if TMZ sees him in York. But it's not unusual for Matt Cardona and you to be traveling together. I've seen you guys at plenty of hotels again. But like on the day when there's a surprise opponent. Do you know what I mean? I get it.
Starting point is 00:08:29 So we didn't get too excited, but we hoped, we really hoped. What a moment. What a moment it was. I know. Yeah. I'd like to point out that you're wearing the championship for this entire episode. As a true champion would, right? Look, sister right there has my hat on, she knows what it takes.
Starting point is 00:08:52 Those hats are so popular. And for $3499, you too can have a hat. Didn't they sell out? Twice. Excuse me. Wow. I know. Yeah, kind of as they should, because look at them.
Starting point is 00:09:10 I'm sorry, but if you are showing up to a wrestling show and you can get a shirt, Or that hat. You better be getting that hat. I kind of want to buy one of those hats. I'll give you one. You what? My husband bought 20. They actually only sold out because Matt bought them.
Starting point is 00:09:27 You're going to sell them on whatnot. You don't wear gear twice ever, right? There's no exception to this rule. Okay, so the exception will be if I have a tag partner that isn't as bratty as me. So Sonia was an exception because she was like, no, I'm not getting a new set of gear every week, Chelsea, that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:09:50 And then so far, Ethan has got new gear every single time he's been with me, but I do fear that if we continue this rain into 2026, I don't know, I might have to wear a set of gear twice. When you won the women's United States champion the first time, championship of the first time, I love that your gear had your face on it. I had that.
Starting point is 00:10:13 gear sitting waiting for a year. A year. It needed to be the perfect moment. That gear was worthy of a WrestleMania moment, a hometown moment, or a championship moment. So I kept it all pristine, all wrapped up, and I was just waiting for that moment. What went into making gear with your face on it? So I kind of, I've got so many different gear makers, but I've got my one PLE gear maker who we kind of bounce ideas off of each other. And first of all, I live for the girls and the gays and he's gay. So he has the same like really ridiculous sense of style that I do. I want the biggest, the most, the brightest, the most obnoxious that I can possibly get. And what's more obnoxious than having your face all over you? Like I don't know how I'm ever
Starting point is 00:11:09 going to top that. Yeah, seriously. Right? Yeah. That's, the problem. And when I won the title, the second time, I was like, well, I'm going to go, I'm going to go Mexico. I'm going to, I'm going to bring the triple a, uh, uh, to stack down and go and go Mexico themed because I, I don't know how I can top me. Let's talk about you winning the championship for the second time, because it seemed like, and maybe I was seeing things, it seemed like maybe you had a little bit of help. If by help, he means some, Support from Zaddy Page. Yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:11:50 Yes. Yes. Ethan Page was sitting in the crowd cheering me on like the tag partner that you fucking shit. I don't know. Other than that, I don't know what you're talking about. The second rope and then. Do you guys see that?
Starting point is 00:12:07 And neither did the ref, so I don't know. Why are you and Ethan Page able to make such magic together? I would also like to know this. Like, I, every single time we are together, it's like the Spider-Man meme. Always. Like, we were just in Mexico the other day and we were both like, jinx? What? Why are you thinking that way, too?
Starting point is 00:12:33 It's very strange. I don't know. I feel like he's like my twin. And I don't know who in NXT thought to put us together. but I owe them a lot of money when Ethan gets called up. I owe them a lot of money. Yes.
Starting point is 00:12:51 I don't know, but it's crazy. I remember being backstage and listening to him out in the ring when I was going to come out and do the first promo with him and his facial expressions and the shit that was coming out of his mouth was just like, oh my God, I couldn't have said it any better. And we actually get along too,
Starting point is 00:13:12 which that's rare. Yeah. You know? There's also like something very unique about putting a man and a woman together who are in no way related or like partners or anything. We just have a different dynamic than anyone else. What was the idea behind putting you guys together first? I would love to know.
Starting point is 00:13:36 I have no clue. I don't know. I got a call like the day before being like, hey, you're going to come into NXT. I said, sure. I just assumed I was going to have a singles match. And I showed up and they said, oh, you're going to be with Ethan.
Starting point is 00:13:50 And I'm like, Ethan, who? And then they said Ethan Page, I had to Google. And then I was like, okay, I do know Ethan. He's Canadian. I know him. Okay. All the Canadians know each other, right? I didn't really know anything about him.
Starting point is 00:14:05 I didn't know anything. And now I'm like, yeah, duh. Like, we belong together on screen. I think it's perfect. He's just, my sister called me the other day to tell me that he's stealing my spotlight. And I think that that is a perfect partnership. I bet that his wife would probably say the same. I hope so.
Starting point is 00:14:27 I really hope so. You're stealing each other's spotlight. Yeah. That's perfect. That's what you should be doing. Like you should be trying to outshine each other, but in the most productive way. Do you find yourself as Canadians still saying Canadian words sometimes? times. Like when I said...
Starting point is 00:14:43 Like, Tuk. A Tuk. Do you guys know what Tuk is? Chesterfield? Yeah. A duetang? I just saw that on like Twitter or TikTok or something. It's a whole folder. And clicker? I say clicker all the time instead of remote.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Yeah. I really struggle to say Z. Oh, that's... Because I said Zed my whole life. Yeah, that is a problem like I always stop and think and I get confused. Like, which one am I supposed to use? And do you measure things in miles per hour now? No.
Starting point is 00:15:16 No. No, absolutely not. I'm not great at this either. Yeah, and I, and I, the temperature screws me up, all of it. All of it. First world problems. Champagne problems, Chris. Matt texted me before the show and said I needed to ask you about panning his back last night.
Starting point is 00:15:40 Moments like those are why I'm glad I'm not on the road with him. So when we were in New York City, obviously everyone knows he's a tanner-exic. But in New York City, it was like he just could not get enough tanner on him. Like he was like nervous tanning, like layers upon layers upon layers. And then I got the most embarrassing texts the next day from the hotel with a picture attached. And it looks like one of those crime scenes. Like Jade Cargill on the car after, right? But it's Matt and it's Tanner and it's the bed.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Oh. Yeah, it's disgusting. That gives me the ick. Sure. And if you had it told me that I, you know, 10 years down the road, I was going to have to do that to my husband. Oh, I don't know that I ever would have gone on the date with him. Well, look, he looked very jacked and tanned, so it all worked out.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Where are you on the tanning scale? Normal? Look at me. Very normal. My makeup artist today was like, oh, wow, you're going for the pale look today. Like, no, this is my skin. This is actually how I normally look. Like, welcome.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Yes. I've had you on the show so many times before, and I can't believe we've never talked about your 2014 WWE debut. So to set the stage here, it's 2014. You've been wrestling for like two or three months at this point, and you get called to work with WWE and do a segment with Stephanie McMahon.
Starting point is 00:17:16 Okay, so it actually goes back to the day before. It was at that time when you always heard about extras, getting tryout matches and actually getting a job, which I feel like you never hear about that anymore because we've got these crazy elaborate tryouts. So I had just started wrestling and we were in Abbotsford and I was an extra. And I'm in this tiny little like room closet of a locker room. and I heard one of the girls outside talking to our talent relations guy and the talent relations guy was like, hey, if you have a passport, tomorrow, so that would have been Sunday and then tomorrow would have been Monday night, Rob, tomorrow we're going to do a spot we need an extra for. It's going to be quite a big spot. You'll be speaking, but it's in Portland, Oregon. I think that's where it was. Yeah, Portland, Oregon.
Starting point is 00:18:14 And she was like, oh, I don't have a passport. And in my head, I'm like, ding, ding, ding. I got a passport. So I waited until she came back. And then I excused myself to go to the washroom. And I found that talent relations guy. And I said, I can do it. I got a passport.
Starting point is 00:18:31 And that is how I became Megan Miller. So it was like so crazy. I was dating this very sweet guy at the time. He had to drive me to Portland, Oregon, sit in the crowd while I declared that I'd slept with Daniel Bryan. The funny thing is, it's hours before they gave me this script. One thing about WWE is, like, they tell you things without telling you things. They'll give you a script and they, or they'll, like, tell you that you're winning a title without telling you, hey, you are winning this title tonight at this time.
Starting point is 00:19:12 They don't do that. It's kind of all like wishy-washy talk. So what they tell you here? So they gave me this script. And it says, um, Stephanie Megan, Stephanie Megan.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Stephanie Megan. And I'm like, okay, who's Stephanie and who's Megan? Like, I don't know why I have this script. Nobody tells me I'm Megan. Nobody tells me it's Stephanie McMahon.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Nobody's telling me anything. And I get out there like, okay, we need you for rehearsal. I haven't even looked at this thing because I don't know who the fuck. Stephanie and Megan are. I go out with the script and
Starting point is 00:19:46 Stephanie McMahon is in the ring. And Vince is standing there with a microphone ready to rehearse this segment where I'm Megan. And I'm like, so I'm like trying to read through like, oh my God, oh my God, I'm sleeping with Daniel Brian. Oh my God, I'm getting slapped by Bree Bella. Oh my God, I'm with
Starting point is 00:20:04 Stephanie McMahon. Like the whole thing was just like and I just was way, I was delusional, I was way too new to be in there. It's the first I had ever spoken on a microphone, ever. I think... That's your first promo? Ever.
Starting point is 00:20:18 In life. Like, I had never picked up a microphone. I don't even think in, like, high school. I'd done, like, presentations in university. That's about, as far as my public speaking skills went. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, so imagine I'm like, they kept saying at the end,
Starting point is 00:20:41 like, oh, you did so. good, you looked so nervous, like, yeah, no shit. I'm like, and like, how do you hold a microphone? I don't know, like, oh my God. The whole thing is so crazy, but so iconic. And Bree slapped the hell out of me, pop my eardrum. It was amazing, honestly. It was everything I could have ever dreamt of and more.
Starting point is 00:21:04 When you got to the back where you're like, I've made it. This is going to turn into something. Yes, I was like, and now I am the next diva. That was it. And the funny thing is, is that I'll never forget Eva Marie. First of all, everyone was so kind to me when they did not need to be. But Eva Marie was like the sweetest person I've ever met, pulled me aside, was like, you were amazing, beautiful, gorgeous, stunning, perfect.
Starting point is 00:21:33 You need a try out. You need to, you know, be a diva. Like, just totally inflating my ego. And it was already very inflated at the time. and that is why I, for the next six months, every week, emailed someone in WWE to ask for a try-out. I guessed their email addresses. Once one person replied to me with the end of their email,
Starting point is 00:21:58 I was like, oh, I see the formula. And I just shot off emails every week until I got a try-out. So it worked? So that, yes, it took a long time. Okay, so that was August. That was the go-home show to SummerSlam, which is, that was like the best SummerSlam with Nikki and Bree and Stephanie and, oh my God, it was such a good SummerSlam. Oh, yeah, well, I was just talking about the girlies, okay?
Starting point is 00:22:31 I got a tryout in January of that year, and then I ended up on tough. enough in like June or July. You were pleasantly persistent. It worked. Because after the tryout, I continued to email every week. Then I got tough enough. And then I got kicked off of Tough Enough. And then I got back on to Tough Enough and then kicked off again.
Starting point is 00:22:55 Yeah, that's right. Look where you are now. That's right. Amazing. I should be. This episode is brought to you by Timeline.

I love how on WWE Unreal, you basically said like,
Starting point is 00:25:45 you're happy to lose if you get to be on TV every single week. Look at where being a professional loser has got me. Just saying, if you Google my name and my stats, they're not great, but we've got these. So, like, is it really that hard? But what's the mindset behind that for you? Is it just being able to, like, just be part of the show in any capacity? I think it goes back to when I played Laurel Van Ness. I quickly realized that character work was my forte.
Starting point is 00:26:21 I was trying so hard to be a, like, professional wrestler. And then when I became Laurel Van Ness, I was like, oh my God, I'm doing way less work. And people like it way more. What have I been doing this whole time? And from then it kind of spiraled and I realized like, okay, if that's what I bring to the table, then like, who cares if I win or lose? They're not watching to see if I win or lose. They're watching to see the ridiculous stuff that comes out of my mouth.
Starting point is 00:26:48 And like the things, like the bumps that I take and stuff like that. And, you know, life has been so much. much better since I stopped trying to be a professional wrestler. It really is. It's great. What are you now? An actress. A glorified actress. A little bit of a stunt woman. And then every now and then I like, you know, do a schoolboy. Great. I love it.
Starting point is 00:27:16 How do you feel when people describe Chelsea Green the character as a Karen? Yeah. I think the squeaky wheel gets the great. and if you don't ask, then you don't get. So I would rather be a Karen than not a champion. I don't. Not a double champion, yeah. Yeah. Also, being a Karen has kind of got me far in three years.
Starting point is 00:27:49 Yeah. Like asking us to talk to the manager that's gotten you far. Yeah. Yeah. Nicholas the prickless. P-Head Pierce, they love to see me coming. C-O-M-I-N-G. Of course, of course.
Starting point is 00:28:12 Yeah. It's so inappropriate. I can't believe I'm a W-W-W-B superstar, and I'm saying that. The dumpster match was wild. And what a fun match that was. Oh, my gosh. Isn't it crazy to think, like, I came back, and then I've been able to do, like, I put a pumpkin on my head for Halloween.
Starting point is 00:28:39 And I got put in a dumpster. I got paid for Hardy and Jelly Roll to see me get put in a dumpster. That's crazy. What a power bomb that was. I came up with that spot. Not to toot my own horn. Tootute. Not toot my own horn, but too-toot.
Starting point is 00:28:59 I was going to die on that hill. I kind of talk about that often. Like, there are only certain. I'm going to die on. And like winning is not a hill I'm going to die on. Or getting a certain move in. Like that's not really a hill I'm going to die on. But when it comes to like the money in the bank ladder spot,
Starting point is 00:29:17 that going through the table being power bombed into the dumpster. What a sentence. That those are hills I'm going to die on because those are the things that people are going to talk about forever. And I knew because I believe that was the first female dumpster match. ever in WWE, I should say. There had to be
Starting point is 00:29:40 something huge at the end. You know? Like, everyone's going to talk about the match because it is a first. But it can't just be a power rom into a dumpster. That's kind of boring. The boys would never just do that. You know, like, I always have to think about, like,
Starting point is 00:29:56 what are the guys going to do? Because the guys are out here doing crazy, crazy stuff. Like, I want to make sure that we're doing equally as crazy stuff so that there's no, it's just, you know, there's no women's wrestling and men's wrestling. It's just wrestling. But do you know that that salsa that was in there was spicy? I asked for salsa and cake to be in there
Starting point is 00:30:24 and they got spicy salsa and it was in my eyes and, oh, yes, because I had to dump it on my head to pop out and it was so painful. Oh. Yeah. I don't. know if you've ever had spicy sauce on your head but don't don't do not recommend yeah not yet no so you get power bombed in there and then you're like oh where's the stuff okay here yes it was in the top left corner and literally went boop and i grabbed it because like that's the comedy of it for sure it's popping out
Starting point is 00:30:57 and like and then like pretty deadly's going oh you smell gross right it was so good i think we did it for two weeks. I smell gross. I was nervous for a second that that was going to be my new gimmick. I was like, please, I can't be the smelly girl. I can't. That's where I draw the line, not the smelly girl. Why are you okay being the butt of the joke? Because it gets me views and it gets me a new contract and it gets me a raise and it bought me my new house. And honestly, hopefully in the next year, it gets me numerous auditions. You know what I mean? Like, hopefully this parlayes into something even bigger than we could have ever imagined because I was able to just, like, tuck my tail between my legs and be the idiot. How would you feel about adding a third championship
Starting point is 00:31:52 to the next year? Preferably jades. I don't know if you've noticed, but she's obsessed with me. She's following me around. She does this odd thing where she lurks in corners, and I I had to run right into her boobs. Like, what the fuck? So, yeah. I would like to take hers off her. Seems like you've got your eye on that championship. I would have loved a Tiffy feud.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Oh, I had one match with her for like two minutes. She's so talented. She's such a good person. She's just like everything that I love in wrestling, I would have loved to have a Tiffy Time feud. No, she's kind of scary. And very small. I don't trust small people like that.
Starting point is 00:32:42 Zelina, no, thank you. No, no, I need someone like of normal stature, preferably five, six, and up. Naya Jackson's... No, that, I think I could get down with that. Okay. Yeah. I love me some Naya.
Starting point is 00:33:00 And you know what? Who just said that? Whoever said it, I owe you because I literally just saw her and she said, you better talk nice about me on this podcast. So here we are. So everyone get their cameras out. I love Naya Jax. So much.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Tweeter. You know, I got really roasted on Twitter not that long ago for sticking up for her. But that girl, she is our locker room leader. I don't care how many people dislike Naya Jacks. She is such a good human being. I love her. Yeah, she's a local. It seems like they know Naya Jacks the in-ring character, right?
Starting point is 00:33:43 They don't see what you guys get to see. I think no matter what, like, you guys are always going to watch on your TVs and you're going to see what you see, right? I'm going to see what I see as a professional wrestler and you're going to see what you see as a fan or you're going to see the aftermath and things like that. But I know what went on behind the scenes before that moment happened that led to that moment. So it's easier for me. But see, I really do be yapping all the time and I shouldn't be. because I just should have kept my mouth shut and yet I keep talking on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:34:18 So I'm trying to learn my lesson and not talk. Do you think at some point in time there might be a United States Open Challenge? Oh. United States Championship Open Challenge? I, okay, so obviously for three years you've seen me duck and dodge any match possible. I really tried to avoid wrestling.
Starting point is 00:34:40 But we're here. We're a double champion. Ethan is teaching me to face our fears head on. And so did I pitch to have an open challenge? Yes. Okay. Because I'm a fighting champion now. I'm going to need like a sauna, some ice bags, an edible,
Starting point is 00:35:05 but I will be a fighting champion. There was this storyline that was pitched on WWE Unreal about you accidentally winning the Royal Realm. God bless Ed. I wish he never said it. I wish it never aired because now it won't happen. Like that's my thought, right?
Starting point is 00:35:28 Is that now we have to wait like at least five years for it to happen and who knows where I'll be in five years because this guy thinks I'm a thousand already. You're still here. Yeah. So I, when I watched it, I didn't know that. No, I, everything that you saw on Unreal,
Starting point is 00:35:44 like, again, like we're not told these things. Almost that whole episode was focused on you. As it should have been. Of course. No, I just, I thought that was such a good idea. And I do, I hope that they use it. Not, well, for me, yes. But like, if not on me, like, somebody.
Starting point is 00:36:08 Like, we need a Carmella to come back and do that. You know what I mean? Like, somebody with, like, some spice, a Billy Kay. someone funny who really would take well Carmel is actually already has she won a rumble or just Money in the Bank maybe So we could give her a rumble moment
Starting point is 00:36:27 She could come back and do a rumble moment Yeah what were we talking about But speaking of Money in the Bank Your name comes up every single year People want to see Chelsea Green as Miss Money in the Bank Yeah stop that I don't like ladders Like please dear girl
Starting point is 00:36:46 God, stop. Can we pick something like lower to the ground for me to win? Do you know what I mean? Low, like very low. Like what would be good? Like mat wrestling. Like not even a ring. Like maybe a couple mats on the floor with no ropes. That would be great. Don't want to climb a ladder. Let's do a promo challenge and I'll win that, you know? Yeah, no, I don't think that either. Not Lutzport either. No, I don't think so. love a viral moment though you know so if if I have to
Starting point is 00:37:22 I'll do it and I'll go through a table or not or I'll win or I'll win hold on I was wrong that's it I'm sorry yeah yeah don't tell Ethan I said that I will win I will definitely win are you convincing yourself or them yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
Starting point is 00:37:45 you did have the viral moment at money in the bank like it. Oh my gosh. How scared were we for you? Yeah. It's so high. Like seriously, that ladder is high. And then when that ladder is in the ring, it's very high. Because I think he's a 20 foot ladder, 18 foot, 20 foot ladder. And then it's in the ring and the ring is like so high. And the ring's not completely stable when you're climbing the ladder. And you can tell because I'm clinging on for dear life as I'm like going up at trying to look all like I'm a badass. And I'm like, your God, please let this be over. I just let me, I want to go home.
Starting point is 00:38:21 I need a glass of wine. But it was all worth it. I knew what that moment was going to be. I died on that hill, getting that moment because the boys tried to take it away from me. The boys tried to have that exact same moment. So we bargained. We gave Chad Gable a spot and I took my spot.
Starting point is 00:38:40 You guys both had great spots. Right? Yeah. And then I also, and this might like, not be that popular of a thing to say, but I also, EO was going to be on the ladder with me. And I said, no, I came up with the spot. I wanted the spot. And I didn't think going through it a second time with somebody else was going to be as impactful. I already did the spot in TNA for Queen of the Mountain, Queen of the Mountain. And I did it with my best friend, Deanna. And like,
Starting point is 00:39:12 I don't think you can get better than going through, you know, tables off of a ladder with your best So I wanted the moment, and I fought for it. I fought for it to be just me, and I fought for it to be the very, very, very last spot before Tiffany won. And what a moment. And it made her spot better. Like it made her, it was like the perfect build to her grabbing the briefcase. And I got to like watch it.
Starting point is 00:39:42 Like a proud mom. Yay, you go, girl. How do you feel about heights in general? So I don't like heights. However, I find myself in positions like bungee jumping and stuff like that all the time. I've done the highest cliff jump in the world, which is in Queenstown, New Zealand. Like, why? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:40:06 I don't know. I'm going to list some matches off here. And I want you to tell me how you would feel about being a participant in them. Elimination Chamber. Yeah, I would love that. I would love that. So far, I haven't been booked for it, but that's okay. We're manifesting, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:28 Helen a cell. So, I'll do it. I'll do it. Am I getting a bonus? If it's up to me, absolutely. I'll do it. Yes, yes. Give Chelsea a bonus.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Yeah, I'll do it. Double, double her pay. Yeah, I'll do it. I would love like... War games. War games Yay! War games!
Starting point is 00:40:57 I would do it. I would have loved if I did it last year in my hometown. Yeah. Oh. I'm going to say it one more time, then we'll all do that. I would have loved if I could have done it in my hometown. That's okay. Maybe next year.
Starting point is 00:41:19 You were supposed to win that championship in your hometown. I know. Wouldn't that have been the biggest sleigh ever? Okay, also something that they cut. out of Unreal, which y'all should know because I think this is a big flex. I invited Michael Bublay to that show. And he came. He was there.
Starting point is 00:41:36 And my ass had to sit with Michael Bublay and watch the girls. The irony. The irony. At what point did you have to text to him and be like, so I'm not on the show? No, I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I also didn't tell my friends until, like, that day.
Starting point is 00:41:53 I was like, oh, this is so embarrassing. It should have been me. How are we talking? Five friends, ten? All my friends. I have a lot of friends. No, all my bridesmaids, so that's like eight of them. And then they all have significant others.
Starting point is 00:42:14 And then my sister has a million friends. Plus my mom has a million friends. Everyone was there. And I was not. It's funny that you mentioned Michael Bub, because this is the time of year we hear so much of Michael Bouble. It's Boobler season. Did you see he commented on the cream video?
Starting point is 00:42:36 That's right. After this, you better go look because that's evidence that he is, in fact, my friend. What did he say? I believe he said something like Chelsea's the most amazing performer ever. I don't remember. I blacked out because Michael Boubley commented on my Instagram. Like, how crazy is that? Pretty incredible.
Starting point is 00:42:58 During booblay season. During Boob's, yeah, he's the boo. Boop. Have a hotly? Like that's playing all over my holland holly Christmas. And his voice sounds like that in real life too when he's talking to you.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Hi, I'm Michael Booblae. Yeah. Yeah. What? No, I'm not joking. Yes. I feel like he was put on this earth to do what he does.
Starting point is 00:43:18 To be Michael Bublae. Yes. That just reminded me, I just have to tell you just a quick story. because I put my foot in my mouth all the time. I can't wait for that. So I had a previous Smackdown that I begged to be on. Beg, beg, beg, beg to be on.
Starting point is 00:43:39 I was on it, yay, exciting. I come to the back. My sister is dating someone who invited Chad from Nickelback to come watch me. Also, a flex, especially for a Canadian. So I'm backstage and I'm taking Chad Kruger all around, you know, but I am flexing. This is my friend Chad from Nickelback. Yeah, yeah, if you don't know. Yeah, exactly, right?
Starting point is 00:44:05 Do you need me to remind you? Would you like to take a photograph? Big flex. And even a bigger flex when my boss, Mr. H, comes out and wants a photograph. with Chad. And I'm standing beside him like, what? Yeah, I invited him. Like, I did this.
Starting point is 00:44:30 I'm setting this up. So instead of staying quiet, I decide to say to my boss and Chad, isn't your first wrestling show so amazing to which Chad and Triple H say, we literally did the WrestleMania theme song. I've been to a million. to a million wrestling shows.
Starting point is 00:44:55 So that was the day I stopped talking to Chad from Nickelback. Short and sweet friendship. Canadians love nothing more than pointing out famous Canadians. Oh, my God, it's my favorite thing. Me too. Yes. At Christmas at Matt's house, we like to name, we get drunker and drunker and we keep naming very crazy Canadians all night.
Starting point is 00:45:21 I love being like, John Candy, yes. Jim Carrey. Ryan Reynolds. We could keep going. Who wants to play? There's so many. Chelsea Green. CV.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Pam Anderson, Chelsea Green and CVV. I'll take it. Wow. I get to be sandwiched between you guys? Just for a photograph. Oh, I've got so many things I could say. Photograph.

Do you have a favorite nickelback song? All of them. You can't pick. If you're a Canadian, you can't pick. Oh, seriously. Come on, you just go through, you just put on the nickelback shuffle playlist. You know what I mean? Do you guys know what song Nickelback did for a WrestleMania theme? Oh, no. Well...
Starting point is 00:47:42 Oh, that was the raw theme for... Remember, that was the raw theme for... Not the whole raw theme. Oh, it gets worse. Oh, my God. Do you know the song we're talking about? Am I Canadian? My bad. Sorry. I knew someone was going to do that. Like,
Starting point is 00:48:02 name one song. Name one song, Chelsea. You're wearing a... fucking Leonard Skinner's shirt. Name one song. I'm not. Anyway, okay. What's next? What do you think has been the biggest shift for you over this last year?
Starting point is 00:48:20 Because I just feel like every moment you're just making the most of it. Besides resigning. Congratulations. That's a big shift thing. No, I don't, I think... Like, why fix something if it's not broke? And we're just going to continue on this train.
Starting point is 00:48:43 I am working a little bit, like, being partnered with Ethan, I am working a little bit on the legitimacy of my whole career. You know what I mean? Like, I can't just only make people laugh and, you know, at some point I'm going to have to hit the unprettier or maybe like a drop kick or something. So we are working on that. Maybe we'll start next week. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:49:06 But, yeah, I just feel like everyone is having fun with what I'm doing. We haven't gone too far off the deep end. So, like, why do anything different? They always talk about how wrestlers have a bump card, right? Like, you only have so many bumps in your career. No, I've got, like, a reverse bump card now. Right. And it's so funny you just brought that up because I was just talking to the girls in the locker room about that.
Starting point is 00:49:29 Like, my body has never felt this good. Never. Because think about it. When I was on the Indies, it was like 20. to 25-minute matches. I'm doing all the moves. I'm praying that one of them goes viral and that Hunter sees it and rehires me.
Starting point is 00:49:44 And now I'm here. I'm living my best life. Every now and then I do pull out like a fun bump in the dumpster match during commercial break. I did do a coast-to-coast. Why during the commercial break? Because I was scared. I wasn't going to be able to do it.
Starting point is 00:50:06 I was so scared. And it was the first time I had ever done it. Grace and Waller convinced me to do it. He's like, I don't know, you got long legs. Just like, jump, really, jump. And so I thought, did you practice it before? Dear God, no. There's nothing I hate more than practicing something before I have to do it.
Starting point is 00:50:24 No, no, no, no, no, no. No, we free ball it in the green household. We just pray and jump. Well, it worked. I did it, yeah. It worked, yeah. Do you have a move up your sleeve that you're waiting for the right moment? To pull out?
Starting point is 00:50:45 Other than your finisher, which you're like, maybe like a win every now and then. I might pull that out. I think it would be good to do a coast-to-coast. Maybe on live television. Maybe on a PLE. Maybe I would have to get booked for a PLE for that to happen, Chris. But yes, maybe a coast-to-coast.
Starting point is 00:51:09 We love a good Canadian destroyer, but when it matters, when it matters. And shout out to Pedy Williams. That move just blows my mind. I know. I often think about, like, how did he come up with that? He thought, let me stick your head between my legs, and then I'm going to flip this way.
Starting point is 00:51:33 You're also going to flip that way, and somehow you're going to survive. But like, barely. I don't know. But he did, you know, he, he publicly gave that move to me. Wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:46 After the, after the Lucha Underground match, he went on his podcast and he invited me on and he gave it to me. And I don't actually think he's given it to anyone else. Like, we're always going to all copy each other's moves. So Twitter always gives me our hard time for the Unpretier. But he gave me, he gave me the Canadian distrayer. Wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:11 How many times have you hit? I pick and choose my moments. Do you know what I mean? Because it's equally as risky for me. And I also fear that Pentagon gave me some of the best Canadian destroyers. It's very hard to top that. Very hard to top. Do you guys know that Chelsea Green wrestled Penta? The best, the best decision I ever made was that match because now when someone says I suck at wrestling, someone else says, but did you see the Penta match? And I'm like, yeah, yeah, that one match in 2018, what? He literally wrestled himself. Now, he will watch it again.
Starting point is 00:52:54 He literally wrestled himself. But I digress. He is amazing and so am I. I just feel like there's so many people that don't even know that you were in Lucha Underground. I feel like people don't know that I was in stardom, that I lived in Japan, that I was in TNA and was the knockouts champion, that I went to Lucha Underground, that I was in the only female match in All In. Like so many, so many crazy amazing moments.
Starting point is 00:53:23 And when I get sentimental, which I'm not at all, and it's something I'm working on in therapy, I think about the fact that if I had been signed in 2014 after being Megan Miller, no way my journey would have been this cool. No way. I have the coolest resume. Dare I say the coolest resume out of anyone in the women's division, I think.
Starting point is 00:53:51 You really should have started this interview off by saying that, but that's fine. Next one. Next interview all. I could have introed you however you wanted. You should have told me that. I would have texted you. You didn't tell me that. My intro, how would you write the intro I gave you? Yeah, it was subpar.
Starting point is 00:54:12 No, it was fine. Your energy is great. I just think there could have been more adjectives. Do you know what I mean? Yes. That's fine. Well, you are the first ever, W. Women's United States Champion. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:54:27 Still the tallest? Yes. Okay? Most Canadian? Yes. Yeah, and I don't know how old Julia is. So am I the oldest or the youngest? Yes.
Starting point is 00:54:37 Am I? Yes. Yes. Most dangerous. If you say it, it's true. Most dangerous? Sparklyest. Longest raining.
Starting point is 00:54:47 That's right. That's right. The only two-time champion? Mm. T. We're going to keep it that way. All of them. You got all of them. I know. Life is really good in the Cardona household. Like, we've had a good year, you know?
Starting point is 00:55:07 How do you top this in 2026? I fear. I fear we don't. I don't know. I hope we do. I don't know. Maybe getting booked on a PLE. Maybe getting booked. Just one. Just one. PLE would be great. Well? I'm just nervous. Oh. People won. When you go through that entire resume and all of the amazing stuff you've done since you started wrestling, what's the one moment you come back to?
Starting point is 00:55:44 So I think a lot of people would say Luch Underground, the Pentagon match. I wouldn't say that. I would say all in. I would say all in was quite possibly one of the craziest out-of-body wrestling experiences I've ever had. because it was one of those moments where as performers, we all came together knowing that this had to work. Like, it had to work for the sake of independent wrestling. It needed to be a success. So there was so much pressure, but it was also so much fun.
Starting point is 00:56:22 That was the best. Had you met Cody before that? Well, yeah, because he set Matt and I up. It's funny, because every time you say that, Brandy goes actually... Yeah, Brandy did. No, Brandy did. And I feel so bad because we always talk about Cody, but Brandy did because a guy is never going to set someone up.
Starting point is 00:56:41 You guys are useless. So sorry. But Brandy did set us up because Matt was a sad, lonely boy. And I was a TNA star, honey. Anyway, so that would be a great moment. But besides All In, I would say my hat coming out is a moment that I'm most proud of. I know that's so crazy.
Starting point is 00:57:09 Like the debut of the hat? Yes, because I worked so hard on it. And I always wanted something tangible, like something to show my kids that they would be like, that they could like parade around. These are like, that's amazing. But at the end of the day, someone bestowed it on me. The hat was me. I made this hat come to come to life, you know?
Starting point is 00:57:34 I begged and pleaded for it, and I was able to get, quote, unquote, popular enough for the hat to be a thing that they, you know, like a thought, a thought. So it's a very proud moment. And with championships, like, there have been other people that have held that championship, right? Right. Nobody else has the Chelsea Green Hat. That's right.
Starting point is 00:57:56 It's all mine. Let's give it up for the hat. All right, we're going to open it up to questions from you guys after I ask you one more question. So actually, if we can put the house lights on so we can see everybody out there. Not the ugly lights. Oh, oh. You don't want to see their faces? No, but you know when, you know when like the club lights turn on at 3am?
Starting point is 00:58:22 And you're like, no, oh, my God. Oh, I've been talking to you all night. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, your mascara is like, yeah. Anyway. So great to have you up. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up one more time for Chelsea Green. You've answered this question so many times before when you've been on the show,
Starting point is 00:58:45 and maybe your answers are different this time. But we just had Thanksgiving, so it's perfect to be talking about gratitude. What are three things, Chelsea, that you're grateful for as we sit here on this stage right now? Okay, one, I just posted on Instagram stories of Paisley, my little puppy, who's blind and neurologically challenged. We adopted her a year and a half ago. and she's like a whole new puppy. She's so strong and so feisty.
Starting point is 00:59:14 And like I could have never imagined that this dog who was in a coma would be just thriving. So I'm very thankful that we have the means to... Let's hear it for Paisley. Yeah. That's so sweet. My little, my little pee girl.
Starting point is 00:59:29 So I'm thankful for that. I'm so thankful that, well, I want to say everyone that came here to see me, but they didn't come here to see me. That's not true. That's not true. You know what? You know what I'm thankful for?
Starting point is 00:59:44 I am thankful for the fact that I just sold out all my meet and greets tomorrow. That Chelsea has enough fans, and so did Maxine. Chelsea and Maxine, the two divas. Who would have thought? And, well, actually speaking of Maxine, I am so thankful for the friends. that I have kind of collected along the way because show business is very, very, very hard to make friends. You know, everyone is kind of like competing and stepping over each other to get to the top.
Starting point is 01:00:18 And I feel like I've met this amazing group of core girlfriends and we support each other and we ride for each other. And I'm just like, I love showing up to work and seeing Maxine become the most iconic IC champion and seeing, you know, Maya Jacks do her thing and Tiffy Time to her thing. Like, it's amazing. So I'm thankful for friends. Where were you watching her? Where were you watching Maxine win the Intercontinental Championship? Actually, I was in the Cotswolds in London.
Starting point is 01:00:50 It was 3 a.m. So, yeah, I'm a fucking friend. Because I don't watch wrestling for any old girl, but I'll watch it for Maxine. That was two, right? No, that was three. Okay. I can't remember the second one, but. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 01:01:08 That's right. Why don't you grab the mic and we'll shoot your hand up if you've got a question for the lovely, amazingly talented Chelsea Green. Oh, pop off, Chris. Yes. So we'll start with, yeah, how about right here in the middle next to the Chelsea Green hat? Yeah, yeah, you, yeah. So Zeus is over here. He'll find his way around here.
Starting point is 01:01:37 They were this one. Did you say he's coming too? Around. I'm going to write these all down. What's your name? James. Thanks for coming out, James. Did the show.
Starting point is 01:01:55 Thank you. Thank you. That's so funny because everyone keeps talking about that recently. Again, I never know anything. Nobody tells me anything. I knew I was winning this title the day before. No, the day of. So like, I don't know, Didley squat.
Starting point is 01:02:20 But I think I should be Queen of the Ring. That's right. It would be my whole... It would be me. Yes. 100%. I already have a million ideas right now running through my brain
Starting point is 01:02:36 about what that would look like. That would be great. Thank you, James. What's your name? Joey. Hey, Joey. Hi, Joey. Hey, Joseph.
Starting point is 01:02:48 How are you? Long time no C. Tell me about it. I think that's called a stalker. I'm just kidding. Love you, Joey. Is there a question? I just wanted to state all the places.
Starting point is 01:03:21 I've seen you in all these different places. Have a great night. I love that. I'll see you later. That's basically what I've just been doing for the past hour. So honestly, I love that. Yes, I have it. And?
Starting point is 01:03:40 All right, we're ready. No, no, no. No. No. I don't play that game, Joey. I love Kelly Kelly, and that's my only answer. My only answer. Kelly, Kelly, it is.
Starting point is 01:03:57 And I don't even know that she was born in the 80s or 90s, so it doesn't work. All right. Who's next here? What's your name? Alfred. Hey, Alfred. Like from Batman? That's amazing.
Starting point is 01:04:13 Sorry. So what was like the first moment that got you in the wrestling? Like the first moment, you have proven that's something I want to do. Okay, I just made a TikTok about this. So whoever saw my TikTok today, literally a couple hours ago, I was going to school in Calgary at University of Calgary for kinesiology and, like, health sciences. And I was procrastinating doing my homework. And on TV, a Nikki Bella Naomi match came on.
Starting point is 01:04:48 And I delusionally was like, I can do that. And I googled how to be a WWE diva. And Lance Storm School was 10 minutes away from my house. And I was like, it's fate. It's absolutely fate. And the crazy thing is, like, that's the best. I know I'm biased, but that's the best school in the world. I don't think you can get any better than Storm Wrestling Academy.
Starting point is 01:05:13 And the rest is history. Thank you. All right, who got over? I don't even know where it's this. Oh, they were at the very back. Look at her hat. We got another hat. You look gorge.
Starting point is 01:05:31 Ew. What's your name? Anna. Hey, Anna. Hey, Anna. It's weird. I'm just watching this. Okay, so I'm not going to ruin his whole schick,
Starting point is 01:06:03 but just know that it's like a zero. And I think... What a pro. I think that's the best part about him. Wow. Yeah. Honestly, I took a flight that night. And normally if we fly after wrestling, it's like, oh, it's awful.
Starting point is 01:06:22 And you wake up from the red eye and you're like, oh, like a tiny version of yourself all crumpled over. And, yes. No, I felt nothing. He's amazing. Yeah. What a pro. Well, he did. Thank you, Anna.
Starting point is 01:06:41 All right, who else has a question? Put your hand up. You have a question. I fear I've ruined the Pentagon. We'll work our way towards the front of the room after that as well. We got, let's see. What are we? Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 01:06:54 Okay, yeah. Right over here. Hey, Chris. Hey. Mike Westler, here's talk, lucky, my goodness. Hey, Mike. Congratulations on the show. You've been killing it.
Starting point is 01:07:02 Chat to Chelsea Green, by the way. Thank you so much, Mike. I guess this is a question more towards. If that's okay. Come on. Nobody's here to see me. Of course. So when you talk about theme songs,
Starting point is 01:07:17 I mean, you came out to Downstate, I mean, obviously Downstate, people with the podcast as well, shout out to them. But if you could come out to any band of all time, dead or alive, what would it be and why? Oh, I would come out to Cherry Pie.
Starting point is 01:07:30 100%. That was my song on the Indies, and I live for Cherry Pie and down there. state actually made my my song based off of cherry pie and then we made this latest song based off of downstate and cherry pie yeah that's fun all right who else we got here are you what's your name wait where where are we way back where okay thank you all right oh hi oh my gosh hi I was over I was looking over here I didn't know what was happening
Starting point is 01:08:07 No, no, we're back here. So, I have a question. You have first-hand experience with this vision. How big is Matt Pardone's love for Disney world? You guys do that all the time. Gordon and great. Awesome, right? Big a ride.
Starting point is 01:08:26 They don't write for you and for that. Thank you. Incredible delivery. Writing that one down as well. Yeah, it's big. That's all. I have to say, large. I think the very back here, right?
Starting point is 01:08:55 Yeah. What's your name? Danny. Hey, Danny. Where are you? Right here. I see you. Hi. Your promotion you've done, including the Indies,
Starting point is 01:09:08 who is your hardest opponent? Yeah. Okay, let me think of a correct answer for that. Your most difficult opponent. Yeah. I know, Chris. And I believe I tweeted about her and she got canceled. So we won't say that one.
Starting point is 01:09:33 Okay, difficult. But like, difficult in what way? Hard, like, what do you mean? Like, do you mean like hard hitting? Ooh, okay, yeah, yeah. That's what you meant, for sure. Okay, I think working, and maybe I would say Naya if I had worked Naya,
Starting point is 01:09:54 but I think working Raquel because she literally is like one of the biggest girls on our roster. So I want to make sure that her stuff looks like it hurts. So it does. But not because of her. It's my own doing. And then besides her also Sienna, Alison K. Because she's another one. Like I really want to make her look so badass, so big and strong.
Starting point is 01:10:23 and then on the Indies, it would be Craven. If you guys know Craven, she was the most amazing indie wrestler. I loved her. She worked for Shimmer. I never see her anymore, but she's great. Look up Craven match. So those are my three. Politically correct answers. I think we got time for, we're going to do three more.
Starting point is 01:10:41 How's that feel? Good for three more? Yeah, I'll stay here all night. Do we have to leave? Do we have an out? Might be another show after. So where's the, What's your name?
Starting point is 01:10:55 Hi. Hi. Oh. Love that. Soto 619. Got it. 619. I feel like I've seen you on Twitter. I asked.
Starting point is 01:11:24 It's not happening. Aww. I asked. I really did try. I tried so hard. I wanted to do like a Diva's Open challenge. I want to do the whole shebang. But I understand that the women before me,
Starting point is 01:11:41 Like, it's fun for me because I wasn't a diva. But the women before me fought so hard to kind of, like, end that stigma. And I don't know if I can bring, like, I don't know if bringing it back right now would do those women justice. Maybe in 10 years. Maybe, maybe, like, the girls from NXT can come up and do it in the future. But I will continue trying. I will keep pushing. I think one battle with Nikki Bella, that.
Starting point is 01:12:11 I know, don't. Please don't. I know. I agree. Thank you. All right, two more. How about one in the middle-ish and one? Maybe one towards the front here as we wrap things up. It's hard to pick. It is hard. I'm glad I'm not doing it. Who's next? Hi, I know we need to call you our model. Thank you. Kelly, Kelly.
Starting point is 01:12:46 It would be Nikki and Bree. Maybe you and Kelly Kelly versus the Bellas? First Nikki and Bree. There you go. There you go. But I would. I worked Victoria on the Indies. I loved working her.
Starting point is 01:13:08 And I love Tori Wilson. Love her. And she's just like, looks so amazing. I mean, Michelle McCool? What about Michelle McCool? I fear I can't choose. We're going to have to do a diva battle royal. The winner gets to face Chelsea Green.
Starting point is 01:13:26 Yeah. Yes. That's the one. Triple H is going to hate it. We got one right. Yeah. Put your hand up towards the front of you have a question. Okay.
Starting point is 01:13:42 Hi. Hi. What's your name? Joe. Joe. Oh, yeah, where I don't have a clue. Yeah. I don't even know what WrestleMania we're on right now.
Starting point is 01:14:04 Yeah. Do you now know which number WrestleMania 2000 was? 13? Oh. You set me up for failure. Anyway. You were wearing the shirt.
Starting point is 01:14:17 Anyway, I got it for free. Moving on. Oh. Oh, I've got a lot. A lot, a lot, a lot. I don't know if you remember, but when we first got together, I used to do daily scares of him.
Starting point is 01:14:38 That was a good one. I loved scaring him. I used to scare him in a mojo mask. Like a hype, yeah, creepy hypebrose mojo mask. I mean, that's just our everyday life, you know. We've got tons. But I don't, some things maybe you don't want to see. There's some, you know, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:14:58 But yes, we have tons. I've got an archive of them. Do you have time for one more question? You guys want one more question? Okay, one more right from the front row here. Yeah, right. What's your name? It better be good.
Starting point is 01:15:13 Zach, it better be good because you really been popping off with all these climax and coming and creaming jokes. This guy. It went over my head for a second and then I'm here. Yeah, late to the party, but I came.

Starting point is 01:16:12 So who do you think will be a... Okay, I've been thinking about this because originally I thought Zoe. But Zoe was injured. I don't know when she's coming back. Then I was like, what about Jordan Grace? What about
Starting point is 01:16:31 Jordan Grace in the suit without sleeves? What about Jordan Grace in the suit with tear away sleeves? She's so jacked She's gonna kill me for putting that out there
Starting point is 01:16:47 But like something like that I could see I also really wanted pretty deadly To be a part of the group I want Right I wanted them to be like Secretary of Slay And they would be like Yes
Starting point is 01:17:01 Like how perfect would that be And then obviously I would be crazy If I didn't say Ethan Page Like hello Ethan Exactly He needs to be the first man. You're not going to be laughing when there's a woman president one day, fuckers.
