Everything You Need To Know About The IMPACT Wrestling Slammiversary Teases
7. Chelsea Green
The tease: promotional footage of Chelsea Green in the Laurel Van Ness guise was shown in the first teaser trailer, with Scott D'Amore also referencing Slammiversary as a "hot mess".
The likelihood of it happening: 99.99%
Had Chelsea Green not appeared during Ring Of Honor's Best In The World pay-per-view, confirming her arm was in a cast, then that would be 100%. It has to have been a way to throw the viewers off, though.
With Deonna Purrazzo slated to have a mystery challenger for her Knockouts Championship at Slammiversary, Green was a firm contender for 'The Virtuosa'. Now, though, Matt Cardona has to find a female partner to take on Brian Myers and Tenille Dashwood at the pay-per-view. Who does Cardona just so happen to be engaged to?
No prizes for guessing Chelsea Green.
ROH very easily could have been in contact with IMPACT about them using Chelsea first. The injury she has is legitimate, but a) it could have easily healed by now, and b) she could spend most of the match on the apron if she's good to go so as to not aggravate the injury. As far as ROH is concerned, it seems a tad suspicious that they feigned announcing her for their women's tournament - she'll commentate on it instead - but still have a spot open.
