Chelsea Green was part of Tough Enough
The company decided to bring back popular show Tough Enough back in 2015 as a WWE Network exclusive. Several familiar faces auditioned to be part of the show, and the likes of Velveteen Dream, Mandy Rose, and Sonya Deville have the competition to thank for kickstarting their wrestling careers, but they aren't the only members of the current roster who were part of the show all those years ago.

After appearing on WWE TV the year before, Green applied to be part of the show and interestingly made it through to the final 14, and was part of the series for some weeks before she was eliminated in episode seven and came in fourth place for the females.
Green missed the final by just three days but left a lasting impression, but unlike the stars named above, she wasn't signed to WWE following her elimination, instead, Green went on to make her debut for Impact Wrestling and was known as Laurel Van Ness for some years before WWE came knocking in 2018.
