Chelsea Green on pairing with Ethan Page: ‘Better than I could have ever imagined’
Chelsea Green says her pairing with Ethan Page in NXT and AAA is going better than she could have ever imagined.
Green and Page will challenge for the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championships against Mr. Iguana and La Hiedra in Monterrey tomorrow night. During a recent interview with Gabby AF, Green was asked about her pairing with the current NXT North American Champion and said she had never crossed paths with him before, but knew almost immediately that they had chemistry working together.
“I had never met this man in my life,” Green responded. “I had always heard about Ethan Page, obviously. We’re Canadian, we always know about people on the indies.”
“As he was kind of seeing his rise, so was I. But funny enough, we never wrestled together. We were never on the same shows, we never crossed paths.”
Green said they had a small rehearsal for their first segment together in NXT, but did not interact much at all before the show. Once they were in the ring cutting a promo together, Green said she realized how similar their characters are.
“He walks out and he starts talking and I’m like, ‘Holy s–t. Oh, is he? He’s me,'” Green said “I was just so caught off guard.”
“I get in the ring and I’m talking and I can feel like out of my peripherals I can feel his facial expressions. I can feel his energy and he like leans over like this and I’m like, he’s perfect.”
“I think we both immediately knew like this is something. And we just continued to build and learn that we had the same goals in mind and learn that we had the same work ethic and drive.”
Finally, Green said she wants Page to be called up to the main roster to be part of her group with Alba Fyre and the injured Piper Niven.
“It has been way better than I could have ever imagined and I have been so stuck on trying to get him to the main roster because I can’t unsee this duo and this group now with the girls too.”
