Chelsea Green is one of the stars that found success after her time in WWE. Although she wrestled on different independent circuits before signing with the Stamford-based promotion, her current run with IMPACT Wrestling gained her more popularity this time.

Green signed with the company in 2018 and had her in-ring debut during a live event for NXT in October of that same year. She mostly wrestled with the developmental brand.

But in November 2020, The 31-year-old moved to the main roster and joined the SmackDown brand. Unfortunately, the fatal four-way match was her last; after months of inactivity, the promotion released her in April 2021.

Chelsea Green appeared on the likes of Ring of Honor and IMPACT Wrestling after her release. In July 2021, she debuted at ROH and was scheduled to wrestle in the promotion's Women's World Championship tournament. She, however, suffered an arm/wrist fracture before the match and instead appeared as an onscreen commentator during the first round.

Sforhe returned to action on July 17, 2021, at IMPACT Wrestling during Slammiversary. Green and her real-life husband Matt Cardona (fka Zack Ryder) competed in an intergender tag team match. They successfully defeated Brian Meyers (fka Curt Hawkins) and Tenille Dashwood (fka Emma).

Three months later, she entered the promotion's tournament in hopes of becoming the first Digital Media Champion, but Jordynn Grace defeated her in the last round.

Still, Green found success while teaming up with Deonna Purrazzo for VXT. They even held the IMPACT Knockouts World Tag Team Championship but recently lost the titles to Taya Valkyrie and JesSICKa last week at Bound for Glory.

The former NXT star also appeared alongside her husband for a couple of events for GCW. The couple even renewed their wedding vows during the promotion's homecoming event. Although the ceremony was seemingly going great, the Randy Savage and Elizabeth-inspired couple were interrupted by Nick Gage.

Chelsea Green is even set to face Saraya's (fka Paige) mother on October 15 at the World Association Wrestling's Fightmare IV event in the UK.
