WWE star refuses to wear talkSPORT host’s shirt out of loyalty to current Chelsea player

WWE star Chelsea Green fittingly enjoyed the full Chelsea experience when she was the guest of honour against Brentford last month.

The former two-time and inaugural WWE Women’s United States Champion made her first trip to Stamford Bridge to watch the Blues.

The 34-year-old watched on from the Dugout Club as Liam Rosenior‘s men beat Brentford 2-0 after goals from Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer.

The Canadian-born wrestler has Chelsea roots in her family, with her mother and extended family being British.

She also sent a congratulatory message to the west London outfit on Instagram following the Club World Cup triumph last summer.

However, Green, who also briefly lived in Devon when she was growing up, never had the chance to watch the club live before.

The former AAA World Mixed Tag Team Champion told talkSPORT: “I had the best time, I drank lots of champagne, I got a jersey.

“I really just like dove in headfirst, as the Chelsea fans do.”

Green, who joined talkSPORT as part of WWE 2K26 Creator Fest, was speaking to ex-Chelsea star Tony Cascarino on Weekend Breakfast.

Yet she broke the 63-year-old’s heart by admitting she wouldn’t don his retro kit after being gifted a shirt by Blues ace Marc Cucurella.

On the prospect of wearing a Cascarino kit, Green replied: “I don’t think so. I feel like, I’m sorry, but I feel like I’m a Kuk’s girl right now.”

“You know what, we’ll talk about that later.”

Green recently opened up on her connection with Chelsea that goes far beyond simply sharing a name.

“I’ve been a Chelsea fan for life!” she told the Blues’ website.

“My grandparents are British, my mum is British, my cousins and uncle are here, and I also lived in Devon when I was seven and eight years old.

“My family introduced me to football through Chelsea, although my grandpa was an Aston Villa fan and we had a little rivalry going.

‘I was always wearing Chelsea merchandise growing up, and I had a Chelsea beanie, which was in this safety kit I had in primary school.

“These are things you have in case you have to shelter in place – pictures, granola bars, other emotional attachments – and in mine was a Chelsea beanie.”
