Chelsea Green Felt An Instant Connection With WWE Tag Partner Ethan Page

On November 2, Green and Page defeated La Hiedra and Mr. Iguana to become the new AAA World Mixed Tag Team Champions. Looking ahead, the pair will now defend the titles against TNA’s Joe Hendry and “NXT” star Thea Hail at “NXT” Gold Rush. In the meantime, Green and Page continue to deepen their bond, both on the screen and off; Green is also advocating for Page to be promoted to WWE’s main roster, specifically her home brand of “WWE SmackDown.” 

“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,” Green said. “I would text him like, ‘Hey, do you mind if I pitch you for this? Do you mind if we meet up and do this video? Do you mind if we do a TikTok? Is that weird?’ You have to learn each other’s boundaries and it’s just different than with women. It just is. At the end of the day, it really wasn’t. It has been way better than I could have ever imagined.”

In comparing her work alongside Page with that of her husband Matt Cardona, Green admitted that she had a tougher time coordinating with Cardona due to their status as a real-life couple. The former WWE Women’s United States Champion particularly noted that she and Cardona had to relearn how to speak to each other at the time.

“Matt and I, we had never worked together when we were stuck together for [TNA] Slammiversary. We had to learn in that moment how to talk to each other because the way we talk to each other at home is not the same way we talk to co-workers,” she said. “The way I talk to Ethan is the way I talk to a co-worker. He’s a co-worker. He’s a friend.”
