Michael Hayes Addresses Backlash Over Chelsea Green Comments on WWE Unreal

TLDR

Michael Hayes addressed the backlash from his controversial comments about Chelsea Green on WWE Unreal during the February 25, 2026 episode of the Six Feet Under podcast. Hayes claimed that Netflix edited out his praise for Green and that his comments were about her current role rather than her ability, stating he believes pushing her too aggressively could hurt her organic fan support. He maintained that Green is underutilized but argued that her current role is to help make other people, comparing potential future pushes to those of Daniel Bryan and Kofi Kingston when they "caught fire" with fans.
