Chelsea Green reacts to Michael Hayes’ comments on WWE Unreal

Posted: Feb 4th 2026 By: Shounak Chakrabarti

Former WWE Women’s United States Champion Chelsea Green has reacted to Michael Hayes’ surprising comments about her on WWE Unreal on Netflix.

Recently speaking with hosts Dorinda Medley and Kiki Monique on SiriusXM’s Reality Checked, Green addressed Hayes’ statements, “Okay, this is tea ladies, because I have not done media since this came out. This really, really ruffled some feathers. So one of the head producers of WWE, his name is Michael Hayes.

“He works very closely with our boss, Triple H, and he basically on ‘Unreal’ said, you know, ‘Chelsea makes the most out of her time, so we don’t need to give her 30 minutes. We give her 30 seconds, and she does the same work, which is great because she’s not meant to be here for 30 minutes. She’s not meant to be the top girl,” Green added.

“She’s meant to elevate all those girls to be in that top position, to be a main eventer.’ It’s crazy because I’m a self-aware human being, so I know my kind of place on the totem pole in this fake hierarchy that is wrestling. But to actually hear it, to actually hear that there was a ceiling put on me, it’s different,” she continued. “You can’t help but be pissed off and a little upset and just aggravated at the fact that you thought that there was maybe a chance that there wasn’t that ceiling, that maybe it was all in your head and that it was confirmed and it wasn’t confirmed to me, it was confirmed on national television.”

During season two of WWE Unreal on Netflix, producer Michael Hayes opened up about Chelsea Green, noting that while Green is entertaining, she is not made for roles like Charlotte Flair or Tiffany Stratton. Instead, he claimed that Green’s job was to make stars like them.
