Summary

Road Dogg said one of his favorite unused WWE ideas centered on Chelsea Green, Zoey Stark, Alba Fyre, and Piper Niven. Speaking during a virtual signing, the former SmackDown co-lead writer explained that he wanted Stark and Fyre to attack Niven, write her off television for several months, and then eventually split from Green as the angle moved into tag and singles matches.

He framed the idea as a way to put two strong in-ring wrestlers behind Green before turning the story back around on her. Road Dogg also made it clear he believed Green had more upside than some others did behind the scenes.

That is not the first notable comment to come from this signing, as Road Dogg also recently said Triple H relies on Bobby Roode in WWE's producer role.

Chelsea Green's WWE role in that pitch

Chelsea Green was positioned as the centerpiece of the entire idea, and that matters because Road Dogg described the storyline as something built to create layers around her rather than treat her as a side character. His version of the angle would have given Green a faction dynamic, a betrayal, Piper Niven's return, and then a singles program with Zoey Stark.

That also says plenty about how Road Dogg viewed Green's ceiling in WWE creative. Even while acknowledging that not everyone shared his opinion, he described her as someone who could grow beyond comic relief and anchor a more substantial television program.

Quote from Road Dogg

"I wanted Zoey Stark, yeah (she still works at WWE). She's just getting healthy. She blew her leg out. Best female wrestler I've seen in a long time and her ring work is second to none. So I wanted her and then, Alba Fyre, to take over for Chelsea. They were gonna turn on Piper (Niven) and put her out and put her through a table. Like really send her away for six months or something, and now you have these great two workers standing behind Chelsea... And then, you have 'em realize, this dingbat. Hey, you turn on her. Piper comes back. They have a tag, then we go into a singles with Chelsea and Zoey and I think she would make it great but, not everybody was a fan of Chelsea Green like I was. I was trying to make America Green again, and they were sitting there getting hot at me."

Road Dogg later expanded on why he rated Green so highly:

"Well, I don't know... I totally understand people not seeing her worth if you're only looking through a top guy lens. Like if you're only looking for a main event of WrestleMania, I can see you not having her in that vision. But I also see the potential that she could be in that vision. I firmly believe that and I'll go to my grave believing it, and she's the right kind of human being. She's a workhorse. She says no to nothing and yes to everything. She kicked a 40-yard field goal with a broken ankle. For the love of God, the girl's a national treasure."

What the idea could have meant for Zoey Stark

Zoey Stark's name is just as important here because Road Dogg said he viewed her as elite in the ring and wanted her heavily involved once she was healthy. In practical terms, the pitch would have placed Stark in a featured faction story first, then moved her into a singles feud with Green.

That does not mean WWE was definitely headed in that direction, but it does show one version of how Stark could have been reintroduced into a meaningful television program instead of being used in a smaller role.
