Chelsea Green has done and amazing job ever since returning to WWE in January 2023. She might have been seen as a jobber during her early days in the promotion but with hard work and dedication, she improved her position in the promotion and presently she is standing as the inaugural WWE Women's United States champion.
Recently Green spoke about the struggles of working as a babyface in the world of professional wrestling in the modern era. She explained why it is really difficult for the fans to embrace a perfect babyface. In a recent interview with The Law – What’s A Work, Green explained the following;
Why Fans Can't Accept The Perfect Babyface in The Modern Day Wrestling - Explained By Chelsea Green
"They love an underdog story. Don’t we all? At the end of the day I’ve got to say like as a fan as well I don’t necessarily love to see this perfect human with a perfect body and perfect gear and a perfect speech go out and beat up a bad guy who actually isn’t perfect. There’s just like, there’s something kind of ‘blah’ about that.

"So I think us seeing these turns from heels into baby faces – maybe that’s just the way we have to go you know. Maybe the bad guy are the perfectly groomed superhumans. Because that’s not what the fans look like. That’s not what the fans sit down and think ‘Oh I could be that guy’ That’s not realistic. Some of the people in WWE are superhuman.”

The angle of an underdog trimming over the main event scene and winning a World Championship mostly became famous after the World Heavyweight Championship win of Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania 22. Mysterio world mostly treated as a cruiserweight in WWE during his early career, his Royal Rumble and World title win still remains an example of a triumphant underdog.

Another underdog story that became extremely popular among the wrestling fans was Daniel Bryan's World Championship win at WrestleMania XXX. He was not supposed to win the world title at the mentioned event, and he was not even planned for the World Championship match. But extreme fan support forced Vince McMahon to put him in the main event of WrestleMania XXX.
