Due to unforeseen circumstances, which will become clearer in the next couple of weeks, Chelsea Green is unable to make her scheduled trip to the UK for Pro Wrestling Chaos & IPW.
We are working on a replacement at such short notice.
Chelsea does send her deepest apologies also..
Green also noted on Twitter that she is still planning on working the All In event on September 1st.

- As noted, Titus O'Neil issued a statement addressing Hulk Hogan's meeting with WWE talent this past weekend, noting that Hogan's apology lacked "true contrition, remorse and a desire to change."
