5 Current WWE stars who you might not know wrestle under their real names

#2 WWE NXT's Chelsea Green

Chelsea Green is coming through the ranks in NXT at the moment and is currently engaged to former WWE star Zack Ryder. Green is an interesting addition to this list since she has been known by so many other names throughout her short career.

Whilst Green was wrestling for IMPACT, she was known as "The Hot Mess" Laurel Van Ness before she debuted as Reklusa in Lucha Underground.

Ahead of her appearances for IMPACT and Lucha Underground, Green was used on WWE TV as part of the feud between Brie Bella and Stephanie McMahon where she was known as Megan Miller, who was Daniel Bryan's physical therapist.

The star later auditioned for Tough Enough the following year and was part of the program under her real name, which is perhaps why WWE opted to allow Green to keep her real name after making her debut on the NXT brand.

Green may have only signed for WWE in 2018 but she already appeared on Monday Night RAW since she wrestled Charlotte Flair back in December in a losing effort.
