Chelsea Green recently appeared on the “Casual Conversations with The Classic” podcast to discuss a variety of topics, including her time competing on WWE Tough Enough.

On learning from her fellow competitors: “They had this like ‘je ne sais quoi’ about them, they were just, like, just so much more grown up in America. So, I learned a lot from that experience but I knew, I knew while I was in it — these girls are meant to be stars. So I wasn’t surprised when I left and a bunch of them got called back.”
