Despite her broken ankle, Chelsea Green is still active on television, utilizing her now-vulnerable state for comedic moments instead. However, the reality is that Green is still recovering from a legitimate injury, but could there still be hope for a WrestleMania angle?

In an interview on the “Beyond The Bell Podcast,” Green commented on her mental state and how rehab has been for her ankle. 

“Everything is great. My ankle is very sore, but we’re making huge progress, which is great and necessary, especially entering, you know, WrestleMania season! I cannot be missing WrestleMania,” she assessed. Green noted that she’s currently in Los Angeles and has been expanding her resume while in the city, and beyond her injury, life isn’t just good, but she actually has no complaints.

During another interview earlier this month, Green talked about her injury and went deeper in depth about her injury. The former WWE Women’s United States Champion explained that her inner ankle bone is chipped and cracked, and while many people have been questioning the legitimacy of her injury – likely after the lengths Seth Rollins went to have a kayfabe injury last year – she’s still focused on recovering and making a solid comeback down the line. At the same time, Green didn’t hint at returning to action at WrestleMania 42 in either interview, and while her rehab is steadily progressing, she’ll likely appear at the event without actually competing.

Cody Rhodes has main evented three WrestleMania’s back-to-back, with his first being his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship shot against Roman Reigns, followed by a Night 1 main event against Reigns and The Rock, a Night 2 main event against Reigns again, and last year’s clash against John Cena.

This year, Rhodes is set to defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against Randy Orton, and while some believe it’s a booking bias, ‘The American Nightmare’ claims it’s simply luck. 

“The idea that I got to wrestle John in his final WrestleMania and now I’m wrestling Randy in the same stadium?” Rhodes asked out an interview with Complex, noting that the window is closing on his former Legacy stablemate. “I’m really lucky, right? I’m very lucky because I don’t know how much longer Randy does it.”

The Undisputed WWE Champion went as far as to attach both Orton and Cena to himself, describing both men as the ‘angel and devil’ on his shoulders, constantly whispering to him throughout his career. 

“One of the craziest things about Randy and my relationship was the dynamic shifted,” he added, claiming that he always admired Orton since his days in Evolution, but the dynamic changed when they were paired together, and he had to almost babysit ‘The Viper.’ 

“The area where he never was in trouble, and no issue at all was how great of a teacher about wrestling he was,” Rhodes explained, further describing Orton as a sensei he wanted to impress, and that now at WrestleMania 42, he gets to do that.

Last year, Jake Hager revealed that he had officially hung up his pro wrestling boots after a near 20-year career. And looking back, Hager seems largely content with the wide range of competitors he faced. There is one man that he wishes he could have done more with, though.

“To be honest, no,” Hager told “TMZ’s Inside The Ring” when asked if there were opponents he was still craving to wrestle prior to his 2017 WWE departure. “I never thought about wrestling like that, wanting to wrestle certain people. It was always what my job is and what’s best for the company, bullcrap answer like that. I will say that in AEW I really wanted to wrestle Hangman Page in a storyline just because of the Stadium Stampede scene that we did.

“You won’t believe me, but we shot that in one take,” he continued. “Like we paused, and then stopped and started filming again, but he is so unbelievably athletic. It was impressive. I got to be like so aggressive because of that. So I always thought down the road that we were going to lead to that and it was going to be great, but never got to it.”

The Stadium Stampede in reference took place at AEW Double or Nothing in May 2020, pitting Matt Hardy and The Elite (Hangman Page, Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) against The Inner Circle’s Chris Jericho, Jake Hager, Ortiz, Sammy Guevara and Santana. Hager’s team lost the bout after Omega sent Guevara crashing through a platform with a One-Winged Angel.

Hager left AEW in 2024 following the expiration of his contract. Meanwhile, Page remains a regular fixture in the company, with an AEW World Championship match – attached with a Texas Death stipulation – against MJF awaiting him at tonight’s Revolution pay-per-view event.
