10 Wild Creative Pitches Wrestlers Made To Get Into WWE

9. Chelsea Green Wanted To Be A Cult Member

As a segue from the Santana Garrett entry, she also revealed to Lucha Libre Online that there was a pitch to bring her in alongside Chelsea Green and Vanessa Bourne as part of a "bad girl group".

Perhaps because WWE did this about nine times over in 2015, they thought better of it.

When that half-arsed idea amounted to nothing, Chelsea Green took a more proactive approach. It was clear that creative had nothing for her, and when they eventually did, it was as just another wrestler on the card. The obscenely rich mega-corporation couldn't do any better than that, despite boasting the resources with which to hire the best creative minds imaginable, so they probably should have listened to Chelsea's own pitch: a devoted disciple of Seth Rollins when he was working his 'Visionary' gimmick.

She told the Ten Count podcast earlier this year that she always thought she could pull off the valet role, and she can. She accentuates Matt Cardona's act brilliantly, and Rollins really could have done with someone believing in his bulsh*t, because nobody else did.

She can play unhinged very well, too, so this would have worked - a lot better than "sermons" that were Lovejoy-level bad, only without that being the joke.
