Ex-WWE star Chelsea Green chasing Playboy and horror movie death scene dreams after shock exit
Chelsea Green has revealed she would love to pose for Playboy – and she still has goals to get killed in a horror movie.
The 30-year-old wrestler – who was released by WWE last month along with a number of other high profile superstars – is figuring out the next stage of her career, and she’s excited by the prospect of her newfound freedom.
She exclusively told Metro.co.uk: ‘I have a bucket list of things I wanna do… Definitely I wanna be killed in a horror movie. I’ve always wanted that, I always found it so hilarious where you see the girl running and they always trip and fall, and then they get killed.
‘It’s just how it works! So I wanna be that girl. Right now, I’m trying to work at making contacts in Playboy to hopefully do that.’
Podcasting was another ambition for the Hot Mess – who noted she is open and comfortable with her sexuality – and she’s already ticked that off the list with her weekly 50 Shades of Green show.
‘Of course, podcasting was one of them so I’ve started doing that, and getting into maybe more of the social media influencer side of things as well would be cool,’ she pondered.
‘I’ve never really tried to do that and I’m always on social media anyway! There’s definitely a list of things that I wanna do so I’m gonna put them out there so that I have to do them.’
Chelsea has been inspired by her fiancé Matt Cardona – formerly Zack Ryder in WWE – after his own release from the company exactly a year earlier.
In less than half an hour after she got the disappointing goal, he had already set up her new Pro Wrestling Tees store, as well as making moves for new entrance music and trademark filings.
She added: ‘One thing that he has repeated over and over again, it’s kinda like you’re in a relationship with this company for so long and at some point – I don’t feel this way, because I wasn’t in the company for 14 years.
‘But he’s in it for so long, and at some point you have to cut ties, like any relationship. You’ve gotta leave the party before the party dies!
‘Matt couldn’t find that moment to do that, because he had so many things on his list that he wanted to accomplish.’
She explained how her partner admitted there’s a chance he wouldn’t have made the decision to leave on his own, but he’s been thriving since the choice was made for him.
‘When one door closes, so many more open. Sometimes you can’t see what those doors are gonna be,’ she smiled.
‘Now I’m just thinking, after watching him succeed for the past year, that really gave me a good idea about what my future could look like if I put that much effort and work into what I have coming next.’
Looking to the future, Chelsea wants to keep wrestling and takes inspiration from AEW star Cody Rhodes’ approach after he left WWE and took the time to tour the world ticking off dream matches in plenty of different promotions.
‘I think that was genius of him, to get himself out there and to wrestle people he would never have been able to wrestle. That’s what I really wanna do,’ she said, while noting that IMPACT, AEW and Ring of Honor are all top of her wish list.
‘I don’t wanna put myself in a box and that’s why I’m trying to do [my podcast]… I’m trying to get this off the ground and show people that I am more than what you see on social media.
‘I hope that people listening to 50 Shades of Green will see all those other sides to me.’
