It is a large time for married wrestlers within the WWE. As Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch feud with CM Punk and AJ Lee, it makes me marvel about how wrestlers who’re married to different wrestlers exterior the corporate fare. Thankfully, I had the proper particular person to ask about that just lately, as Chelsea Inexperienced spoke with CinemaBlend about her marriage to Matt Cardona.
Die-hard wrestling followers are little doubt accustomed to Cardona, who previously wrestled within the WWE as Zack Ryder. CinemaBlend spoke to Inexperienced forward of Cardona’s shock look amongst different TNA superstars at a latest NXT present, and she or he talked about simply how little they’ve seen one another of their marriage:
Yeah, I imply, it is powerful. We don’t see one another typically in any respect. We’re ships passing within the night time. We have actually been that approach our complete relationship, virtually, aside from throughout the pandemic. That was the one time we actually have been collectively.
Basically, they spent a major period of time collectively solely when it wasn’t possible for professional wrestlers to journey for upcoming WWE occasions or for different indie federations to host reveals. That is completely brutal for Inexperienced and Cardona, who seemingly noticed little of one another throughout her large run because the inaugural ladies’s United States champion.
For that motive, I am hoping we see Cardona take part on some WWE programming (which is offered with a Netflix subscription) quickly. Readers is probably not stunned that Chelsea Inexperienced felt the identical approach and shared her large hope for the brand new 12 months in relation to her husband’s skilled endeavors:
Now, as we’re coming into our ninth 12 months of being collectively, I’d love him at WWE, and I do know that that is his purpose. I do know he desires to return and be doing WrestleManias and be touring with me, and you already know, like with all his pals. His greatest pals are nonetheless right here, too. So I am hoping that he will get again. My fingers are additionally crossed for that. 2026, the 12 months of Matt Cardona, perhaps within the rumble.
The concept of Matt Cardona becoming a member of the Royal Rumble as an entrant feels much more possible after his latest look in NXT. With a lot collaboration taking place between the WWE, TNA, and AAA in the mean time, the Royal Rumble is perhaps probably the most thrilling occasion of the 12 months in relation to potential surprises.
Clearly, Chelsea Inexperienced desires her husband within the WWE, however I additionally suppose some folks would like to see Matt Cardona within the firm as properly. Much like Cody Rhodes when he departed the WWE and later returned, Cardona has established and carved out a bigger identify for himself exterior of the mainstream wrestling umbrella. His return, paired with the presence of his spouse, might propel him to a higher place within the firm than he beforehand had throughout his run as Zack Ryder.
Such developments are onerous to foretell throughout the professional wrestling enterprise, although I feel Inexperienced particularly has an aura that helps increase others who work together with her. Perhaps it is her charisma, the ridiculous outfits or each. In any case, I feel in the event that they have been paired up, they’d be an influence couple as essential, if no more fascinating than the present duos of Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins in addition to AJ Lee and CM Punk.
We’ll have to attend and see if the decision-makers on the WWE have the identical curiosity, and proceed to catch Chelsea Inexperienced on SmackDown on Fridays at 8:00 p.m. ET, or on streaming (which is a couple of month behind) with a Peacock subscription. I am wanting to see her pursue one other championship title or see if she’ll pop up in NXT to help her husband as they proceed their feud with NXT superstars.
