Chelsea Green will be competing against IYO SKY, Naomi, Lyra Valkyria, Tiffany Stratton, and Zoey Stark in the women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match this Saturday night at the 2024 WWE Money in the Bank pay-per-view event.
During a recent appearance on the “Wrestling With Freddie” podcast, Green commented on her preparation for the big match and her past experience competing in a Queen of the Mountain match in TNA Wrestling. She said,
“I’m probably more ready than any of these girls. For so many different reasons, but mostly because one of the last matches I did with TNA, before I went back to WWE for the second time, was Queen of the Mountain, which was basically a TLC match. This does not scare me one bit. In fact, this could be a moment that does elevate me with the WWE Universe because they’ve only gotten to see me do fun and crazy things through the internet. They haven’t seen it in person yet.”
During a recent interview with CBS Sports’ Shakiel Mahjouri, WWE Superstar Carmelo Hayes discussed competing in the Money in the Bank match at this weekend’s pay-per-view event, messing up LA Knight and Logan Paul’s names, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On his “Ruthless Aggression” moment with Adam Cole: “I remember they hated it when I first did it…I was a little hesitant to do something that’s already been exactly done. It’s such an iconic moment. I remember Shawn tweeting something like, ‘It worked out for the last guy.’”
On being used to being put in the deep end: “I’d be lying if I said it felt new because I feel like they did the same thing when I got to NXT. They immediately put me up against Kushida for the cruiserweight championship, put me against Adam Cole, and put me in the Breakout Tournament. I’ve been put in these high-pressure and sink-or-swim situations for as long as I can remember. I’ve proven every time that I’m a swimmer and I’m worth the opportunities.”
On facing Cody Rhodes on SmackDown: “To put me in the mix with the WWE champion Cody Rhodes coming off the high of dethroning Roman Reigns [at WrestleMania 40] and me being the first person he’s in the ring with is a huge trust. I wanted to prove I was of that caliber and I was the right guy. I was going to get in there and put on a quality match with the WWE champion and even in defeat look good.”
On mixing up LA Knight and Logan Paul’s names: “People were roasting me. He’s quick. He’s watching for things. It’s what it was. I’m not perfect bro… we were laughing about it. It was what it was.”
