7 real-life couples who’ve departed WWE recently: Where are they now?

#4 Zack Ryder (Matt Cordana) and Chelsea Green could end up on the same promotion again after WWE

Zack Ryder’s WWE career spanned nearly fifteen years. During that time, Ryder went on to win the Intercontinental, United States, and RAW Tag Team Championships. Meanwhile, Chelsea Green joined WWE in 2018 after making a name for herself in Impact Wrestling.

The two started dating in 2017 and got engaged in 2019 after working on different brands for the company.

Ryder was released from his WWE contract in April 2020 as part of the company's budget cut. Chelsea Green was released from her contract a year later after suffering from an arm injury.

Green opened up about her relationship with Ryder and how he reacted to her release from the WWE during a recent interview.

“He has been so, so great. First of all, he warned me that this was coming,” Green said. “Not necessarily to me, that I was going to get fired, but he did call me and give me a 10-minute gap between the time he told me people are letting go and me getting let go. He gave me that warning then I texted him and said, ‘Okay, I’ve been released.’ I’m not joking: he was home within 30 minutes. My Pro-Wrestling Tees store was up, he’s all go go go! Even harder than I was. I think that’s kind of the same way I felt when he was released. I was like what do we need to do? It’s nice to have someone on the other side of things keeping my head clear. But he’s so positive it’s been really nice. I’m able to bounce my ideas off of him.”

Since his release, Ryder has worked for All Elite Wrestling (AEW), followed by Impact Wrestling. Green, on the other hand, is still waiting to join another promotion once her non-compete clause comes to an end.

Green will likely return to Impact Wrestling too once she is ready to return to the ring.
