Chelsea Green has revealed that WWE producer Michael Hayes reached out to apologize following his controversial comments on WWE Unreal Season Two. During the documentary series, Hayes spoke about Green’s position within the company, stating that her primary role was to help elevate other top-tier stars such as Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton. The remark quickly went viral, drawing criticism from fans who felt it undervalued Green’s contributions to the women’s division.
Green initially responded to the footage by expressing her frustration, noting that she “couldn’t help but to be pissed” hearing a high-ranking producer essentially place a ceiling on her career potential. Appearing on the Nikki & Brie Show, Green provided an update on the situation, confirming that the two have since cleared the air.
Michael Hayes has apologized to me and we’ve spoken about it and everything,” Green told Nikki and Brie Bella.
The Undertaker Offers Support
The conversation surrounding Hayes’ comments extended to Six Feet Under, where Hayes clarified his stance during a discussion with The Undertaker. Hayes praised Green as being “amazingly talented and entertaining,” though he maintained that he did not regret his original assessment of her creative role at the time. The Undertaker, however, took a different stance, stating that he is a “big fan” of Green’s work and character work.
Despite the backstage discourse, Green has continued to be a featured performer on WWE programming. She is currently sidelined with an ankle injury, but the company has kept her on television in a non-wrestling capacity. Fans have frequently seen her appearing in a wheelchair.
