At the conclusion of Stephanie McMahon’s match against Brie Bella at SummerSlam 2014, “WWE Raw” revealed that Megan Miller, a physical therapist, had ties to Bella’s husband, Daniel Bryan. This moment is often remembered for the slap delivered by Bella to Miller and the attacks on McMahon that followed. What many overlook is that the physical therapist was portrayed by Chelsea Green, a current WWE Superstar. In an interview with “Limpin Ain’t Easy,” the former WWE Women’s Champion shared her experience in the storyline and disclosed that she wasn’t originally intended to play Miller.
Green recounted how John Conte, the head of Talent Relations, was searching for someone to play Megan Miller among the extras in Abbotsford. When one of the girls didn’t have a passport, Green offered hers and was soon on her way to Portland, Oregon. She described the iconic feud as the first time Bella faced off against her own, marking a significant moment in WWE storytelling.
Her brief role on “Raw” gave her access to numerous WWE contacts, fueling her desire for a full-time spot in the company. After this appearance, Green said she stopped worrying about others’ opinions and focused on getting signed by WWE.
Fan Take: This story highlights how small opportunities can lead to huge breakthroughs in wrestling careers. For WWE fans, Chelsea Green’s journey from a guest role to a signed superstar is inspiring and underscores the unpredictable and competitive nature of the sport.
