WWE’s Chelsea Green is recovering well from her ankle injury and could be closing in on a return to the ring. 

Green broke her ankle during her match with Tiffany Stratton and Lash Legend on “WWE SmackDown,” but nearly two months after suffering the injury, she could be back in the ring soon, as per “WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select.” The report has indicated that some backstage believe that she could be cleared for action “sooner rather than later,” although there’s no indication if she will make it back on WWE television before WrestleMania, which is under four weeks away. The “WrestleVotes Radio” report also added that Green was insistent on continuing to appear on-screen despite her injury, which is why she has featured not only on “SmackDown” but also in AAA.

Initial reports had said that the injury was just a strain, but Green herself later confirmed that she had broken her ankle, with her revealing that her inner ankle’s bone had chipped and cracked. In another interview, the former WWE United States Champion was optimistic about making it back to the ring by WrestleMania 42, which will be held on April 18 and 19. 

Since her injury, Green has appeared on WWE television, featuring ringside for her The Green Regime Alba Fyre’s match. There was also some disappointment for Green as she is no longer the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Champions, as Ethan Page and Green’s substitute, La Hiedra, lost the titles to Mr. Iguana and Lola Vice.

After some back-and-forth online, AEW’s MJF and former WWE star Nic Nemeth, FKA Dolph Ziggler, will face each other for the first time in May. 

Nemeth, an analyst on “Busted Open,” asked MJF Miz to step up his game after stating that the AEW World Champion phoned it in on his “AEW Dynamite” promo this past week. An angry MJF called Nemeth delusional and jealous, before warning him not to bring up his name on any show. A few hours later, Brian Myers, FKA Curt Hawkins, announced that the two would settle their differences at his promotion, Create A Pro Wrestling, on May 1 in New York. 

“I’ve talked to both parties involved and they’ve mutually agreed to settle this. Not many dream matches left out there in professional wrestling. But, this is certainly one of them… @CreateAPro  Wrestling is proud to officially announce: May 1st, Melville, New York @The_MJF vs @NicTNemeth  Tickets on sale NOW. https://createaprowrestling.com/events/”

The match will take place at the Create A Pro’s Monumental Moment, which is the only match advertised for the event at the time of writing. MJF’s promo on this week’s “Dynamite” had him gloating about successfully defending his title against Adam Page at Revolution and claiming that no one can defeat him. He was interrupted by Kenny Omega, who stepped up as MJF’s next challenger, with their match set to take place at AEW Dynasty on April 12 — a few weeks before MJF vs. Nemeth.

While pro wrestling has long been a haven for larger than life, over the top, colorful superstars, things have begun to swing the other way in recent years. In its place are wrestlers that fans have gravitated towards due to their legitimacy or realness, a call back of sorts to wrestling earliest days when legitimate tough guys ruled the ring, while characters similar to those of the 1980s and 1990s have begun to be viewed as goofy or, as AEW’s MVP would put it, corny.

Speaking about corny wrestling characters on “Marking Out,” MVP stated his belief that, by in large, corny wrestling characters don’t really work in the modern wrestling landscape. But he quickly backtracked from the totality of that stance, pointing out that there are exceptions. And the biggest exceptions, according to MVP, are a duo of two men who claim to be “The Youngest Men Alive,” and once challenged MVP’s Hurt Syndicate stablemates Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin for the AEW World Tag Team Championships.

“I’ll give you a great example of somebody, two guys that go over huge, The Outrunners,” MVP said. “They’re caricatures of 80s wrestlers. You know, ‘Tell ’em Turb!’ Dude, it is so campy, it is so, like, cheesy 80s wrestling. But you love it. They’re so good at it. You know, it’s like ‘Yeah, I like that.’ So I guess, at the end of the day…the authenticity has to come from a place of authenticity, you know? But corniness, for wrestling, sometimes corniness is allowed. You can be corny and you can get over in that corny way, and people will like it and people will allow it. There’s lot of exceptions to that rule.”
