Chelsea Green has revealed that WWE producer Michael Hayes apologized to her after his comments about her on the “Unreal” show on Netflix.

Hayes had commented that Green wasn’t good enough to be a main event player and was a supporting act for the company’s big stars, which received criticism from the likes of Kevin Nash, Rikishi, and The Undertaker. However, Hayes has apologized to Green for his controversial remarks, which she revealed in her appearance on “The Nikki & Brie Show.”

“And look, like Michael Hayes has apologized to me and we’ve spoken about it and everything, but at the end of the day, I know that Undertaker has had my back because he booked me to win the mixed AAA tag title. So, he has believed in me since before Michael Hayes said that,” she said. 

While Hayes’ words on the Netflix series may have upset her, Green believes that there’s a kernel of truth in what the veteran producer said. She feels that every wrestler needs to go up against a character like her to become a bigger star.

“Everyone got so upset obviously, about what Michael Hayes said about me. But, like, at the end of the day, that’s also kind of what he was saying. Like, was he putting me down a little bit? Yes. Was he maybe putting a ceiling on me? Yes. [But] I looked at it like, Tiffany Stratton cannot be  Tiffany Stratton without a Chelsea Green, without me laying on the ground and her pinning me, right? Like, the crowd can’t react to nothing. The crowd is reacting because she did an amazing move on me or because I took an amazing bump for her. Like I I there’s there there’s room for everyone.”

The former WWE Women’s United States Champion believes that the validation of those who have gone through the grind, like The Undertaker, means a lot to her, and she stated that she will keep in mind “The Phenom’s” kind words for a long time to come.

After months of teasing a breakup, The Judgment Day finally split on Monday’s episode of “WWE Raw” when Finn Balor was kicked out of the group. Last week, Balor indirectly caused Dominik Mysterio to lose the Intercontinental Title to Penta, and although “Dirty Dom” was looking for an apology, the “Prince” snapped and took his anger out on the former champ last night. At first, many of the other Judgment Day members didn’t seem to know who to side with, but JD McDonagh, Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan ultimately chose to attack Balor.

McDonagh’s betrayal was arguably the most shocking, as he was mentored by Balor and has teamed with him for years, but after “Raw” concluded last night, he took to social media to air his frustrations with the former WWE Universal Champion.

“You lied to all of us for months. You got an ego. You wanted to be the leader. You played games. That’s never been what the Judgment Day has been about. You used to know that. Judgment Day is my family and if anybody dares to try to step on any of them, you get stomped out.”

With WrestleMania 42 on the horizon, it’s possible that Balor and Mysterio will settle their differences in singles action at the event. At last year’s WrestleMania, Balor and Mysterio both competed for the Intercontinental Title in a Fatal Four Way match with Penta and Bron Breakker, where Dominik would emerge victorious and win his first championship on the main roster.

WWE legend Booker T has applauded Rhea Ripley and her continuous growth as a wrestler, especially inside the ring.

While previewing the WrestleMania match between Jade Cargill and Ripley, which is set to take place at WrestleMania 42, Booker T argued that Ripley is performing at her highest level, particularly in the ring, as she heads into the marquee event.

“Jade Cargill is a specimen. And then you got Rhea Ripley, who definitely holds her own against anyone, especially in ring. I think Rhea Ripley, right now, is the best worker that she’s ever been in ring inside the squared circle. I really do. I mean, I watch her timing, I watch her movement, I can tell she’s thinking out there. So that matchup right there, definitely it’s a marquee matchup all the way across the board. Checks off every box,” he said on his “Hall of Fame” show.

Booker T believes the clash between Cargill and Ripley could main event WrestleMania, something many pro wrestling fans have been demanding as they want to see a women’s match close one of the days of “The Show of Shows.” Booker T isn’t the only WWE Hall of Famer who has praised Ripley’s in-ring work in recent times, with Kevin Nash also lauding her work inside the squared circle, notably the way she sells.

Ripley earned a world title shot against Cargill at WrestleMania after winning the women’s Elimination Chamber match. The rivalry between the two has been pretty personal, as Ripley, in a now-deleted post, seemingly hit out at Cargill for lying and advised her to learn to work better, with the WWE Women’s Champion then firing back at her. Reports have indicated that the altercation was not a part of the storyline, and the conflict between them is legitimate. 

Cody Rhodes regained the WWE Championship from Drew McIntyre on “WWE SmackDown,” a decision Bully Ray has backed, but the WWE Hall of Famer isn’t happy with one aspect of the match. 

The match between Rhodes and McIntyre saw the two battle inside and outside the ring, with Rhodes even being put through a table. The lack of a stipulation, Ray argued on “Busted Open,” was something that bothered him about the world title clash.

“I was happy with that television world championship match and I was unhappy with that television world championship match. The unhappy does not have anything to do with Cody or Drew. It has to do with the rules, the regulations, and the lack of stipulations. And I have the same problem with Cody and Drew’s match, the stipulations on that match, that I had with Kenny Omega and Okada at Wrestle Kingdom,” he said. “But as far as a television main event is concerned, mission accomplished.”

While many have criticized McIntyre’s loss to Rhodes, just a few weeks after he had won the WWE Championship from “The American Nightmare,” Ray has backed the title change, calling it a “smart idea.”

“I have zero problems with this creative decision. I have zero problems with this change of direction. None. I think it was a great idea. Forget about great idea, I think it was a smart idea. I think it was a ‘best for business’ idea. And at the end of the day, it makes for a considerably better story,” he said.

Rhodes’ win, his third WWE world title, means that he will face the winner of the men’s Elimination Chamber match, Randy Orton. Ray is excited for the Orton and Rhodes clash at “The Show of Shows,” but before that showdown, he is eager to see them come face-to-face on “SmackDown,” which he says is similar to the excitement he felt when CM Punk and Roman Reigns met head-to-head on “Raw.”

“TNA Impact’s” viewership and ratings have grown once again, following a slight dip in both metrics the previous two weeks. 

The March 5 edition of “Impact” has drawn just a shade under the quarter million mark, with the average viewership of the show being 249,000, according to “Programming Insider.” This is a sizable jump from the viewership for the previous two weeks — the February 26 and February 19 editions — which drew an average audience of 233,000. Last week’s show’s viewership is inching closer to the highest audience “Impact” has garnered since its move to AMC, which came on the February 12 edition that registered 254,000 viewers. As per “Wrestlenomics,” the 249,000 number is higher than the four-week average, which is at 240,000. 

The 18–49 key demographic rating also grew marginally for the March 5 “Impact,” rising from 0.03 to 0.04. While it has risen from the previous week, the rating is lower than the four-week average, which is currently at 0.05.

Last week’s show began with a TNA Knockouts World Championship match, where Arianna Grace successfully retained her title against Jody Threat, while The System became the new #1 contenders for the TNA World Tag Team titles. Leon Slater, meanwhile, continued his 200+ day reign as TNA X-Division Champion when he defeated Nic Nemeth, while the show closed with TNA World Champion Mike Santana demanding that TNA management reinstate Steve Maclin, whom he will face at Sacrifice later this month.
