Chelsea Green debuted on May 31, 2014. Green held several championships in her home country Canada and has worked several different promotions in Canada. The Canadian veteran competed at Elite Canadian Championship Wrestling, World Wonder Ring Stardom, Queens of Combat, PCW, Wrestle Circus, Lucha Underground, and Impact Wrestling. Green also competed on the sixth season of WWE’s Tough Enough in 2015. However, she would only place in fourth among the other female competitors.
The Canadian wrestler is best known for her hot mess gimmick. The gimmick started back on February 23, 2017, on Impact Wrestling, when Green was meant to marry Braxton Sutter. However, she was rejected by Sutter, Van Ness would come back to Impact in a disordered chaotic wedding dress completed with dishevelled make-up. Grado would attempt to propose to the hot mess on July 27, 2017, but that would be interrupted by Kongo Kong.
On November 8, 2017, Green defeated Rosemary for the Impact Knockouts Championship. The tournament was aired on December 2017. She official lost the Knockouts Championship to Allie in January 2018 and left the company a few weeks after.
