Chelsea Green is ready for her big NXT Women's Championship opportunity.
Ahead of her women's title main event against Roxanne Perez on tonight's episode of WWE NXT on the USA Network, Green appeared on Busted Open Radio for an in-depth interview to promote the show.
During the discussion, Green shared her thoughts about the big match later this evening at the Capitol Wrestling Center in Orlando, Florida.
"I was in France last night, and tonight, I’m going to be your new NXT Women’s Champion," Green said. "I can’t wait. It’s about time. It is about time. I’ve put enough time into this company, NXT in particular. I deserve this championship."
When asked how the NXT women's division would look with her at the helm as NXT Women's Champion, Green claimed they would have a lot to learn and she would teach them these important lessons.
"Here’s the thing," Green said. "I think NXT is middle school. It’s not even high school. It is middle school. Now, I’m not saying skill-wise. Skill-wise, they are some of the best talent in the world. I cannot do 90% of the things that those women can do. But it’s still middle school. They have life lessons to learn about WWE, about the main roster, about traveling 24/7, about coming home from France and going straight into a championship match. That is what I’m going to teach them when I’m their champion. I am going to teach them that there is so much more to this business than doing a front flip and a backflip."
Green continued, "I think NXT, the talent has so much to learn, and if we don’t teach them, I don’t think they need to learn the hard way. I don’t think they need to come up to the main roster and be kind of grounded and pounded by people like us. It doesn’t need to happen. We can teach them in other ways, and that’s always how I looked at my position as I moved up the ladder in wrestling, as I gained seniority or respect or whatever. We are in this together. I’m going to kick your ass, but I still respect you. I absolutely you, I respect what you’ve done, I know your resume. I know where you’ve been, I know what titles you’ve held, and I know what you’re done in NXT, and I respect that. So respect me, and respect what I’ve done."
