A former WWE champion provided a major health update during a recent interview. The star sustained an injury earlier this month.
On the February 6 edition of Friday Night SmackDown, Chelsea Green wrestled Tiffany Stratton and Lash Legend in an Elimination Chamber Qualifying Triple Threat Match. The Buff Barbie pinned The Hot Mess to secure the win. Unfortunately, to make matters worse for Green, she also hurt her foot during the match.
Thanks for the submission!
In a recent conversation with Denise Salcedo, Chelsea Green disclosed that she was healing up better than expected. However, the 34-year-old noted that she should not be out of her walking boot. The former WWE Women’s United States Champion added that she was lucky that the injury was not serious. Green further clarified that she won’t be out for long.
“I’m healing up much faster than I thought I would be. I’m out of the boot, but only for the fashion. I should not be out of the boot. I chipped my ankle, the side of it. So, it’s painful, but I feel like I got lucky. Like, in terms of a broken ankle, I feel like I got very very very lucky. Thank gosh… No, no, no, I won’t be [out for long],” Green said.

WWE Superstar Chelsea Green lost a championship without competing
Chelsea Green and WWE NXT star Ethan Page won the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship by defeating La Hiedra and Mr. Iguana at AAA Alianzas in November 2025.
The duo was scheduled to defend the title against NXT’s Lola Vice and AAA’s Mr. Iguana on an episode of AAA on Fox. However, due to the injury she sustained during the Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match, Green had to be pulled out of the championship bout.
AAA’s La Hiedra replaced Chelsea Green as Ethan Page’s tag team partner for the match. Unfortunately, they lost the bot and, with it, the gold as well.
It remains to be seen how much longer it takes for Chelsea Green to make her in-ring return following the unfortunate injury and the disappointing setbacks.
