Promising female performer Chelsea Green and former WWE star Matt Cardona, aka Zack Ryder, are one of the most popular couples in the pro wrestling world. The beautiful couple has been married for over a year now, but they still admire each other the way they used to in their initial dating days.
Despite such love for each other, the 32-year-old women’s division star was once rumored to be cheating on Cardona. All this started just a week after their wedding, as some controversial pictures started making the rounds on internet.
In those images Chelsea was seen with GCW wrestler “The Bad Boy” Joey Janela, and it led to speculation if she’s cheating on her husband. The issues in their life peaked when Matt received those photographs in his DM by Joey Janela, and that’s why Green had to clarify the entire situation by herself.

The WWE star revealed that the pictures are photoshopped, and she won’t ever do anything like that. Due to the problems Janela’s actions created between Green and Matt, she even threatened him. She said, “Mark my words @JANELABABY – if my marriage ends because of these FAKE pictures, I will 🔪 you!!!!!!!!!!” (Via: X)
As the 5’7″ female star handled the entire saga and cleared up the issue on social media, the pictures were probably not real. Those viral pictures were just a try to create a rift between the couple, but their understanding helped them manage things well and continue their married life without any further complications.
How did Chelsea Green and Matt Cardona start dating?
Both Chelsea and Cardona weren’t really interested in dating a fellow pro wrestler, and they even shared it publicly on some occasions. But their love story was probably written in destiny, and that’s why they ended up being together in real-life.
As they were both associated with the same profession, they had similarities, but it was Cody Rhodes and his wife, Brandi Rhodes, who acted as cupids for the couple to start dating. This move was like a masterstroke, as the two started liking each other just after a few dates.
Due to the kind of bonding they built, the couple decided to be partners for life and got engaged in April 2019, after dating for two years. But they have to keep their marriage plans on hold for a significant amount of time, as the COVID pandemic delayed their plans for over two years.
Finally, after a wait of a couple of years, the pro wrestling couple decided to get married on New Year’s Eve 2021. They eventually tied the knot in a private ceremony on December 31, 2021, that took place in Las Vegas.
Their marriage ceremony was attended by a number of pro wrestling figures, as Chelsea’s bridesmaids included Dr. Britt Baker and Taya Valkyrie. Moreover, Dolph Ziggler, John Morrison, and The Miz graced the event by being the 38-year-old former WWE star’s groomsmen.
On 2023’s New Year’s Eve, the couple will celebrate their second anniversary, and their love for each other is only going to grow with time. It remains to be seen whether Chelsea and Matt Cardona, can ever get the opportunity to work together in the Stamford-based promotion or not.
