Perhaps no other star has been as hands-on with their character as Chelsea Green. The 1st & 4th WWE Women’s United States Champion always makes the most of any screentime she is given. In fact, Zack Ryder’s wife even maximizes her social media to create content that connects with fans. Now, Chelsea Green reveals the lengths that she’d go to give people what they want. The former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion shared the long road to making Chelsea Green’s hat available on WWE Shop.
Chelsea Green Pitches for Hat Merchandise for Over Three Years
The most iconic wrestling merchandise typically happens when there’s a collaboration between creative services and the talent. That’s why Stone Cold Steve Austin and CM Punk are among the top-selling T-shirt sellers in wrestling history.
Chelsea Green is always fighting an uphill battle. First, it was to get screentime. Then, it was to get a Championship. Following that, it was to get at least one piece of merchandise. Now, Chelsea Green is one of the top-selling WWE Superstars on WWE Shop!
However, Chelsea Green doesn’t rest on her laurels. The inaugural WWE Women’s United States Champion is always looking for the next milestone. Her biggest one to date was finally getting WWE to carry Chelsea Green hat replicas on the WWE Shop.
The hat-wearing Hot Mess told Adrian Hernandez:
“It was pitched for the past three years. Every Friday, I pitched that hat. Every single Friday.”
Perserverance pays off, but not always at first. Even for Chelsea Green, such was the case.
For this dream to come true, Chelsea Green went beyond pitching a hat for merchandise. The leader of the Secret Hervice even figured out the logistics so that the gear would be affordable for her fans.
How the Official Chelsea Green Hat Came to Be
When Chelsea Green realized that her requests for hat merchandise were falling on deaf ears, the marketing-savvy Superstar did what she had to do to be heard. In fact, the WWE wrestler even did research into how to produce a Chelsea Green hat!
Chelsea Green shared her journey to making the hat available on WWE Shop,
“I found out who to pitch it to. Then, I found out who the buyers were.
Then, I found out where they were buying. Then, I found out why they couldn’t get the hats made.
Then, I found out how to make the hats more of a reasonable price for my fans. Like, I have literally been along for the entire ride of these hats.”
Fans can rejoice. Not only is Chelsa Green’s replica hat available for purchase on WWE Shop, but it’s at a reasonable price for such a unique item.
Chelsea Green’s Hat for Sale Is Her Biggest Accomplishment
Don’t underestimate the rush of a job well done. While Chelsea Green has been chasing career goals for over a decade, pulling off the logistics of making her hat available for purchase is one of the sweetest victories she’s ever experienced.
The US Champion shared,
“I’m not joking when I say that might be the best accomplishment I have in WWE or in my wrestling career. Because, at the end of the day, I made that happen.
That hat, I did everything to make sure that hat went on sale. And it went on sale for $34.99, and it went on sale this year.
I’m so proud of it because I know that little girls and boys are going to go up, they’re going to look at that wall of merch, and they’re going to see that sparkly hat, and they’re going to choose that over a Yeet shirt.”
Much like Jey Uso, Chelsea Green has an undeniable connection with the WWE Universe. Now, the WWE Universe can shhhout it loud and proud with a replica Chelsea Green hat!
