WWE Rumors: Speculation On WWE Signing Chelsea Green

Since taking part in a WWE tryout at the Performance Center in Orlando back in July, many fans have seemingly been awaiting news that Chelsea Green, also known as Reklusa in Lucha Underground and formerly Laurel Van Ness of IMPACT Wrestling, has signed with the company.

Last week, there was talk that Chelsea had finally put her name on a WWE contract after a report by Twitter user @SoDuTw stated that she had signed and was already at the Performance Center. However, The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is disputing that today, reporting that Green’s presence at the Performance Center was just to train. It should also be noted that anyone who follows her social media accounts has taken notice that she frequents the Orlando area, which is where her boyfriend and WWE Superstar Zack Ryder reside.

Currently, there is no word when or if Green could be signed by the company, as it was also believed to happen shortly after the July tryout when she was pulled from an IPW show (see that story here). At that time, the speculation was the she would be taking part in this year’s Mae Young Classic, but of course that was not the case.

EA’s Take: Last I knew, if you’re under a Lucha Underground contract you’re not allowed to sign somewhere else. Therefore, I don’t think we will be seeing Chelsea in the WWE anytime soon if it happens, at least until this season of LU wraps up. If I’m remembering correctly, talents appearing on LU programming, even if their contract is expired, are not able to sign with another promotion until the season that’s airing concludes. That’s only if she’s signed on for one season as well, which is most likely since season five is seemingly not official just yet.
