Chelsea Green was one of the ten wrestlers cut by WWE On April 15 despite having signed a new three-year contract five months previously. She currently is still being paid by WWE due to having a 90-day non-compete clause and can’t work for anyone else until mid-July. It’s expected multiple companies will be interested in using Green when available, and in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it has been reported she has been in discussions with Impact Wrestling.
Green worked for Impact between 2016-2018 and held their Knockouts Championship for two months. During her time with Impact, she competed under the name Laurel Van Ness and is best remembered for her jilted bride character with a disheveled look and smeared makeup. She would leave the promotion through her own choice, asking for her release with the intention of joining WWE. However, it would be several months before WWE would sign her, and in between, she worked indie shows and for Lucha Underground.
The earliest Green could appear for Impact if she does agree a deal would be on their upcoming Slammiversary pay-per-view, which is scheduled for July 17. To hype up the event, Impact has released a video teasing appearances of multiple wrestlers who may appear, including Samoa Joe, Mickie James, and Chelsea Green. Impact did this to promote last year’s event and ended up having Gallows and Anderson making appearances and Eric Young wrestling in the main event.
