10 Times WWE Fired Wrestlers Who Were Dating Wrestlers

10. Zack Ryder And Chelsea Green

Zack Ryder and Chelsea Green started dating in early 2017, after being set up by Cody and Brandi Rhodes. Chelsea was an independent warrior, having competed in Impact Wrestling and Lucha Underground and a number of small promotions. Zack on the other hand had competed for one company for more than 10 years, being a long term employee of WWE after first signing in 2006.

Everything looked promising when Chelsea finally signed a contract with WWE in 2018 and debuted for NXT. Around the same time Zack was looking to possibly re-sign with the potential of a raise, with WWE having upped their pay for talents with AEW on the horizon and recently signing a massive $1 billion dollar deal with Fox for SmackDown.

In April 2020 circumstances drastically changed though. With the pandemic in full effect and WWE looking to makes cuts, given they were no longer touring for the first time in the company’s history and not needing as much talent, they released Zack from his contract along with many others. It reversed their fortunes, with Chelsea still being signed and Zack working outside of WWE for the first time in nearly 15 years.

Chelsea knows this all too well, as a year later exactly to the day of Zack being let go, WWE released her in its 2021 roster cuts.
