Chelsea Green didn’t make the impact she’d have hoped (Picture: WWE)

Chelsea Green made her WWE return in the Royal Rumble but didn’t have the comeback she’d have liked.

The former NXT star was fired from the company back in April 2021 and rebuilt her legacy in the likes of IMPACT Wrestling and GCW alongside her husband Matt Cardona, the man formerly known as Zack Ryder.

There have been rumours swirling for weeks that she was primed for a return, and it happened as the 20th entrant into the Women’s Royal Rumble match.

However, she was robbed of the chance for a fairy tale comeback when she got eliminated in just five seconds which, according to commentator Michael Cole, is a record for the women’s bout.

Green looked shell shocked by the rapid exit, and it will be interesting to see what direction her career takes now she’s back in the fold with WWE’s creative being led by Triple H.
