Since Matt Cardona’s return to WWE last month, fans have speculated about a possible on-screen partnership involving him and his wife, Chelsea Green WWE partnership. Both athletes are active on the WWE SmackDown roster, raising intrigue about whether their real-life relationship could become part of WWE storylines, following the trend set by couples like Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins, as well as Zelina Vega and Aleister Black.
Green Draws Inspiration from Edge and Lita’s Iconic 2006 Storyline
Green expressed interest in reviving a similar dynamic to the infamous Attitude Era couples, emulating the edgy and provocative nature of Edge and Lita’s storyline. She remarked on the appeal of that era’s “nasty” couple archetype, stating,
“I struggle with that all the time because obviously I’m currently with Ethan [Page] in my AAA mixed tag team. It makes AAA Tag Team Champions, Ethan Paige and Chelsea Green. Like are we in a big group? I don’t know, but I would love if Matt and I were together to really bring back the nasty Attitude Era couple, just dirty and like ew,”
Green continued by emphasizing the nostalgic value such a storyline would have for WWE fans, explaining,
“You’re like, ‘They’re kind of cool, but why are they making out like that?’ Just like Lita and Edge, stuff like that … The nostalgia runs so deep in WWE, and one thing that fans love is a storyline that’s brought back to life. They love to feel like they’re in on it. They already know what’s going to happen or they can relate to it already. So I think a good Attitude Era couple would be great.”
Current Roles and Recent Appearances in WWE and AAA
Presently, Chelsea Green holds the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship alongside WWE NXT star Ethan Page, balancing this with her full-time position on the SmackDown roster. Cardona, meanwhile, is reestablishing his presence on WWE’s main roster through matches against competitors such as Kit Wilson and Trick Williams. Both Green and Cardona participated in their respective Royal Rumble events last weekend, further marking their active roles in current programming.
Anticipating the Impact of a Possible Green-Cardona Storyline
If WWE follows through on integrating Chelsea Green and Matt Cardona’s real-life partnership into a storyline, it could resonate strongly with fans due to the nostalgic appeal and established history of successful wrestling couples. Such a storyline might introduce fresh tension and interest on the SmackDown roster, while potentially opening new creative opportunities for both performers. The wrestling community continues to watch closely for developments, eager to see if this real-life couple will become WWE’s next prominent power duo.
