Zack Ryder Reveals WWE Made A Request That Had Him “Shaking In Anger” After His Release

Back in April Zack Ryder was officially released from his WWE contract, but his girlfriend Chelsea Green is still with the company.

During a recent episode of the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast Zack Ryder shared a story about how WWE asked Chelsea Green if they could use the pool at her and Ryder’s house to film a scene for SmackDown, and he admitted that he was “shaking in anger” at the request.

“I’m sitting by the pool with Chelsea, and she has a weird look on her face. She’s checking her phone, and I’m like, ‘Babe, what’s up?’ She’s like, ‘Uh, someone from WWE asked me if Otis, Mandy Rose, and a camera crew can come here to film a pool scene for SmackDown.’ I was shaking in anger. Shaking in anger. You fired me, but you want to use my pool?

“I had a tweet sent, and I say this sometimes, ‘Don’t press send.’ [Laughs] It was a ‘Don’t press send’ tweet. I was just very, like, ‘You fired me, but you want to use my pool a couple weeks later?’ … I was pissed. The fact is they didn’t even ask me, they asked her!”

Ryder went on to say that after that he received a text from his friends Miz and Morrison asking if they could come over, and if Otis could come with them.

The former Intercontinental Champion noted that he thought it was a rib at first, but ironically at that point in time Otis was unaware that WWE had requested to use Ryder’s pool.
