Chelsea Green made her surprise return to WWE at the 2023 Royal Rumble as a participant in the Women’s Royal Rumble match. Entering the match at #20, Green was eliminated by Rhea Ripley in five seconds, a new Women’s Royal Rumble record.
Upon her return, Green became a member of the RAW roster and her character is portrayed as a ‘Karen.’
On the latest episode of the “Out of Character with Ryan Satin” podcast, Green discussed how her ‘Karen’ character came into being.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On where the character came from: “It was not an I had. Let me tell you something. I am not shy. I will pitch 101 things. The internet makes fun of me for it, and I don’t care. My favorite thing to do is to come up with pitches that are so ridiculous and out there. Karen was not my idea. I’ve come up with versions of this Karen, but no, I went to the Royal Rumble, and I believe it was at about 1 PM that I saw on the internet that Chelsea is going to debut with a Karen character.”
On her reaction to the news: “I went up to someone, and I was like, ‘Wait, what is this? I’m coming out tonight for the Royal Rumble, and I’m me. What is happening?’ They came back, maybe a couple of hours later, and they were, ‘Yeah, we’ll deal with that once the Rumble is over. We’ll sort out who your character is going to be.’ I was like, ‘Well, I want to start it tonight. If I don’t win this thing when I get out of the ring. I’m going to start being a Karen.’ I just did it.”
