Yes, WWE Superstar Chelsea Green has a cameo role in the upcoming satirical comedy miniseries Hate the Player: The Ben Johnson Story. It’s not a traditional dramatic biopic but a six-part mockumentary-style series that playfully reimagines Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson’s infamous 1988 Olympic doping scandal.
Key Details
- Star: Shamier Anderson (The Boys, Wynonna Earp) plays Ben Johnson.
- Chelsea Green’s Involvement: She appears in a fun cameo alongside other Canadian athletes (NASCAR driver Amber Balcaen and Olympic figure skater Elvis Stojko). Her exact scene/role hasn’t been revealed, but she personally confirmed it.
- Chelsea’s Confirmation (posted on X): “Excited to be a small part of such a big story!!” (She tagged producer Mark Montefiore.)

The trailer (29 seconds) opens with Johnson getting an injection and commentators reacting to his win with shock.

Production

This is Chelsea Green’s first major acting cameo outside WWE (she’s currently a top star on SmackDown with her chaotic “Karen” persona and recent title reigns). Fans are already buzzing about her crossing over into TV comedy.
