During the second season of WWE: Unreal, Chelsea Green would be a focal point of the series once again, and backstage producer Michael Hayes spoke about Green’s role, noting that she is not made to be on the level of the WWE women’s divisions top stars.
While speaking to K&C Masterpiece in a new interview, Big E was asked about Green being slotted into one role and one role only, noting that it is hard to hear when people think you’re just a mid-carder.
“Yeah, man, it’s hard to hear when when people think you’re just a mid-carder or you’re just an opening act, and that’s about all you will be. Because I think one of the beautiful things in wrestling is the ability to move up the ladder, to get over with the audience and and to really climb, and so many times in our industry, it’s a very political industry, and a lot of people in a room that make a lot of decisions, about the rest of your career, and we just, we (The New Day) didn’t want to only be what people thought we were going to be. We thought our faction would be a great opportunity for us to elevate our careers, and it did in immeasurable ways. So shout out to the talent who are always grinding, who are always trying to be more than what people think they can be. Because that is what this, that’s what entertainment is as a whole, and you have to be okay with that. But for us, we were always fighting for more.”
Elsewhere in the same interview, Big E shared how the Big Show would tell Kofi Kingston he was wasting his time with The New Day during the early stages of the faction. You can read more about that here.
