Look, at this point, I've broken my nose five times. I broke my collarbone. I broke my ankle. I broke my arm three times. Like, there's nothing that's going to stop me from wrestling unless I was dead. This is TMZ's Inside the Ring.

**Branson Quirke** (0:56)
Welcome to TMZ's Inside the Ring. I'm Branson Quirke, and we are at the beginning of SummerSlam Weekend. I mean, the card is stacked, and I was really excited to bring this person on. You know her. She's the first Women's United States Champion, and this weekend, she's going to be competing in the Women's Championship Ladder Match at SummerSlam with a chance to capture even more gold. And I really, truly wanted to bring her in because something near and dear to my heart that, I mean, no pun intended, that she deals with is Super Ventricular Tachycardia, also known as SVT, which I have been dealing with for the better part of my entire life. And she recently went through surgery for it. And I just want to talk to her just about that experience and the toll physically and mentally that it happened on her. So Chelsea Green, welcome to TMZ. How are you?

**Chelsea Green** (1:51)
Thank you for having me. I'm great. I mean, we're going into, like you said, one of the biggest weekends of the WWE year. So I'm really excited.

**Branson Quirke** (2:00)
How are you feeling going into this ladder match? Because correct me if I'm wrong, there's still someone that's to be announced, right? For this match.

**Chelsea Green** (2:07)
Yes, we've got one more competitor that's going to be announced hopefully on Friday. I mean, when else can they do it?
And I'm feeling good. You know, my mindset going into this is it's a win-win for me, for everybody else, they should be afraid, because if I lose, it's okay, I'm losing to champions. I'm losing to a 14-time champion. I'm losing to the baddest B in wrestling. I'm losing to a multi-time champion in Tiffany Stratton. If I win, then the underdog did the impossible.

**Branson Quirke** (2:41)
Explain it to people that may not understand here at TMZ. So if you win this match, what does that mean for you when it's an interim championship and then Rhea Ripley comes back to the company from her injury? What does that look like?

**Chelsea Green** (2:54)
I mean, as far as I know, it means that you are the WWE Women's Champion for the time being, but when Rhea comes back, she will be automatically challenging you for said title. And so it means that you already have an opponent that you're gonna have to face, whether you continue to beat the entire roster or not.

**Branson Quirke** (3:17)
I mean, there's so many great competitors in this match that it's hard to even pick one, but who are you, and I feel like Chelsea Green can't really admit this, but who are you most worried about going into this?

**Chelsea Green** (3:29)
I mean, look, I'm most worried about the ladders, okay? The last time that I was in a WWE ladder match was Money in the Bank in Toronto, Ontario, and I fell off the ladder through a table.

**Branson Quirke** (3:42)
Right.

**Chelsea Green** (3:43)
So like ladders aren't really my friend. They're actually my biggest op at the moment. So we're going to work on that currently for the next week. We are going to work on the ladders and the fear of ladders and heights.

**Branson Quirke** (3:56)
Okay. Yeah. Are you afraid of heights?

**Chelsea Green** (4:00)
Chelsea Green is.

**Branson Quirke** (4:01)
Chelsea Green is. Okay. I'll just take that however for again.
Going into something else here, this was really cool. I was on X and I saw an article about this. Triple H recently said you're one of WWE's best at taking even five seconds of TV time and making it memorable. What was it like hearing that from him? Did you see this?

**Chelsea Green** (4:23)
I mean, look, that's the beauty of unreal is I'm actually watching it in real time with the fans. When it is dropped, that's when we are watching it. So I was able to watch it and just get a little ounce of courage and confidence and like, okay, my boss believes in me. There's something that I am doing right because often in show business, we're told all the things we do wrong and we're not necessarily told all the things we do right. So it was really, it was really, really nice to hear.
