Chelsea Green wants to bring back the WWE Divas.
So far, Chelsea Green has successfully defended her WWE Women’s United States Championship against one person, that being Michin. Looking ahead, the inaugural champion is now looking to potentially hold an open challenge, reserved for former WWE Divas only. While speaking with Cultaholic, Green revealed some names she’d like to see answer the call.
“Kelly Kelly, Nikki Bella, Beth Phoenix, Michelle McCool, Layla. I love Layla, I would love if Layla would come. Honestly, I could go on forever – Alicia Fox,” Green said. “We’ve just got so many amazing women who can still go and they’re still young. These women got into wrestling really, really young so I think it would be a cool moment for the audience to witness that. I think it’s a far-fetched idea but it’s not impossible.”
“For me, when I think about ‘Diva’ there’s no negative connotation to it because I loved them,” Green continued. “I think they are strong women with sex appeal and, if I’m being honest, that’s what I aspire to be. So I am totally okay being called a Diva, however I do understand why we’ve transitioned. The men aren’t called something ridiculous, they don’t have a name for them, they’re just the men. If we want to be equal counterparts, we’ve got to be the women. That’s what we’re doing but I don’t mind if you call me a Diva.”
John Cena, a former WWE United States Champion, commonly hosted open challenges throughout his title reigns in 2015. Should Green do the same, it will mark a first for the Women’s United States Championship, as Green herself is the inaugural titleholder. She captured the title last month by defeating Michin at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event.
