Rumor: WWE Signs A Former Impact Wrestling Champion

Sign em up. NXT’s women’s division is one of the best things going in WWE today, with a ton of great names, all of whom could be the champion at the drop of a hat. This makes perfect sense when you consider the rise of women’s wrestling in the last few years. NXT has certainly taken up a lot of the best talents on the independent circuit and it seems that they have another one.

According to Rovert on Twitter, who has accurately broken NXT news before, Chelsea Green has signed with NXT and reported to the Performance Center. Green, who is best known as Laurel Van Ness in Impact Wrestling, is a former Knockouts Champion and has also appeared as Reclusa in Lucha Underground. She attended a tryout at the Performance Center back in June and said that she thought it went well.

Chelsea Green reported to the WWE Performance Center this week and has been signed by WWE.

Opinion: The women’s division has become an interesting part of NXT as they continue to develop new talent while also bringing in so many established names. There are several names that show up there and become bigger names than they were before, which is part of the point of a developmental program. The division is one of the best things about WWE in general right now and this is another good signing.
