Former WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green has decided to step back from social media, particularly after becoming very active on X (formerly Twitter). She revealed that she faced significant online harassment, including name-calling and death threats, following her tribute to Hulk Hogan.
Green shared, “I tried to keep my page positive and funny, but today things changed drastically… it became much more intense than I anticipated, with insults, death threats, and anonymous attacks. Social media hasn’t been supportive for some time.” Like many WWE stars, Green’s tribute to Hogan sparked backlash from fans, who referenced controversies related to the late WWE Hall of Famer and others’ views on him. This backlash led her to post detailed clarifications before deciding to take a break.
She also addressed recent events, stating, “Yesterday, I was asked to comment live on TV about Hulk Hogan. To be clear, my stance against racism is firm. I will not stand for it. If my reaction or tweet seemed to downplay genuine concerns, that was not my intention. – Chelsea”
Fan Take: This situation highlights the challenging environment WWE talents often face on social media, where public opinion can shift quickly. For WWE fans, it serves as a reminder of the pressures wrestlers endure beyond the ring, which can impact their mental well-being and connection with fans.
