UPDATE: Chelsea Green has confirmed that she suffered a broken orbital bone. Green commented on the injury when she said, “Hey guys, so I was trying to keep this kind of private, but the internet knows everything, so I thought I’d come on here and clear things up. I did get injured last night. Stuff happens. I ended up in the emergency room, and I have a broken orbital bone. I have no idea what that means for me. Usually you guys have seen me play into every single injury, but this feels different. It feels frustrating. I’m upset. I feel like if I didn’t have bad luck, I’d have no luck at all. I just need to take a little bit more time to process, and to kind of heal from head trauma right now. We’re gonna see what happens. We’re gonna take it day by day. So, world domination continues. We just had a minor blip.”
It’s been a big week for Chelsea Green as she became the interim WWE Women’s Championship at SummerSlam when she won a five way ladder match on Sunday night.
During this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Chelsea Green teamed up with Tiffany Statton to face Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid in a match that saw Henley and Reid pick up the win.
Coming out of the show Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer is reporting that Green was injured during the match at some point, but details regarding the injury are unknown.
“Chelsea Green was injured during the match on Smackdown last night. We don’t know the exact injury at this point but hopefully she won’t be out of action too long,” Alvarez wrote.
This is unfortunate timing for the Chelsea Green and the women’s division in general as a few weeks ago the decision was made to crown an interim WWE Women’s Champion due to Rhea Ripley being sidelined. Ripley confirmed earlier this week that she underwent surgery, and the expectation is that she will be out of action until the Royal Rumble next year.
Stay tuned for more updates on Chelsea Green’s status as they become available.
