A notable WWE SmackDown wrestler has expressed interest in assuming the role of WWE NXT General Manager after Ava announced her departure from the position and the company on January 30. The exit marks the end of Ava’s contract and her tenure as NXT General Manager, with her final appearance in the role occurring during last week’s NXT episode.
Chelsea Green Steps Forward as a Potential New NXT General Manager
Following Ava’s departure and Shayna Baszler’s previous offer to take over the position, Chelsea Green, a two-time WWE Women’s United States Champion, has now publicly declared her willingness to become the new NXT General Manager. In a Twitter post, Green addressed WWE NXT directly:
“I’ll be your new GM. I know a thing or two about running a continent… How hard can one little company be? 🤷🏻♀️” ?Chelsea Green, WWE SmackDown Star
Green has a solid history with NXT, having competed consistently in the brand during both her past and current WWE runs. Her most recent participation was in December, when she defended the Women’s United States Championship against Sol Ruca.
Green’s Current Affiliations and Recent Championship History
Recently, Green has been aligned with Ethan Page, the NXT North American Champion, who has commented on the strength of their partnership. Despite her previous success holding the Women’s United States Championship, Chelsea Green lost the title to Giulia on the January 2 episode of WWE SmackDown.
Importance of Leadership Transition at WWE NXT
The offer from Chelsea Green to guide WWE NXT comes at a time when the brand faces a leadership transition, following Ava’s departure. This moment presents an opportunity to shape the direction of NXT going forward. With several experienced candidates showing interest, including Shayna Baszler and Chelsea Green, WWE fans and stakeholders will be watching closely to see who will ultimately lead the brand.
As one of the prominent figures with a deep connection to NXT, Chelsea Green’s proposal adds a new dynamic to the conversation around NXT’s future management structure within WWE’s evolving roster and programming.
