Chelsea Green, the Interim WWE Women’s Champion, remains optimistic about her injury recovery. She revealed the extent of her broken orbital bone on social media amid her ongoing battle for recovery.
Green’s injury occurred in a tag team match against champions Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid. The incident led her to express hope for a swift comeback on her Instagram Stories, where she displayed a notable bruise under her eye.
Only a few days earlier, Green had captured the interim championship title in a ladder match at SummerSlam. She shared in a video that the injury resulted from an occupational hazard in the unpredictable environment of live wrestling.
“I did get injured last night. Stuff happens. It’s live television. It’s wrestling. It’s an occupational hazard,” Green stated in the video.
Following the incident, Green visited the emergency room, where medical personnel confirmed her broken orbital bone. Despite the circumstances, she remarked on the injury’s visual impact while acknowledging the pain and inconvenience it presents.
In her social media update, Green expressed frustration with her string of misfortunes, describing this setback as uniquely challenging. Nevertheless, she emphasized the importance of allowing time to heal and reassess her condition before making any decisions about her wrestling future.
Her fans are now left wondering about the future of the WWE women’s title picture. The uncertainty is compounded by the absence of Rhea Ripley, the WWE Women’s Champion, who is recovering from knee surgery and will be sidelined indefinitely. This led to the creation of the interim championship that Green now holds.
