Chelsea Green is looking back fondly on her experience at Crown Jewel, opening up about the unique travel demands of international shows and why the crowd in Saudi Arabia exceeded her expectations.
Appearing on Good Karma Wrestling, Green discussed the logistical hurdles of traveling overseas for WWE premium live events. While fans often focus on the grueling hours spent in the air, Green revealed that the long flights actually serve a vital purpose for the locker room.
- “The travel is always really, really rough on your body because you’re going so far,” Green explained. “I think what people don’t realize is that’s the only time we get to sleep. Like when I tell you, we get on that plane and all of us sleep a solid 10 plus hours, I’m not joking.”
Green noted that WWE Superstars rarely get an uninterrupted eight hours of rest due to relentless scheduling across cities, making the overseas flights a rare chance to decompress.
Embracing the Ring Gear and Crowd Reaction
When it comes to performing in Saudi Arabia, female Superstars wear custom-designed bodysuits that provide full coverage from neck to toe. Despite the mandatory wardrobe adjustment, Green shared that the roster genuinely enjoys the creative process behind them.
- “The girls love wearing them, love designing them, love performing in them, but we never know how the fans are going to react as females in the ring,” Green said.
While crowd reactions can sometimes be difficult to predict compared to traditional American or European audiences, Green had nothing but praise for the atmosphere at Crown Jewel. Calling them one of her favorite groups to perform in front of, she highlighted how engaged the audience remained throughout her match.
- “They were hot start to finish. They were singing everyone’s songs. They were reacting my entire match… Like I can’t speak for anyone else’s, but my entire match, they were giving Liv and I what we wanted and that’s special. So I have no notes on the Saudi Arabian crowd at Crown Jewel. I in fact would go back and do it over again.”
