Summary

Chelsea Green has placed Randy Orton on suspension from his honorary "Secretary of Sssslay" role, citing his recent conduct toward Matt Cardona on SmackDown.

Orton drew attention on the March 20 episode of SmackDown when he called Cardona a "mark ass stooge" and then punctuated the insult with an RKO. The following week, Orton handed Cardona a singles loss on the same show, making it two rough nights in a row for Green's husband.

Speaking with Esteban Ramirez, Green addressed the fallout with a joke and a warning, making clear that Orton's position in her corner is under review.

Quote from Chelsea Green

"I'm having to rethink my appointing of him as the Secretary Of Ssslay. He definitely right now is on suspension. We'll see, pending future decisions."

Green also touched on her own mindset in the wider interview, saying she refuses to let herself get comfortable in wrestling. The full conversation is available via the linked interview.

What This Means for Orton and Green

Randy Orton has been building momentum on SmackDown heading into WrestleMania 42, which makes his brief feud with Cardona something of a detour for The Viper. Green's comments are clearly tongue-in-cheek, but they add a fun layer of kayfabe accountability to a situation where Orton has been very much playing the part of his old self.

For Green, keeping this bit alive in the press keeps her visible and relevant at a time when her own SmackDown positioning matters. The suspension gag is a low-stakes callback that her fans will appreciate.
