Canadian wrestler Chelsea Green is dealing with an ankle injury sustained during a February 6, 2026, episode of WWE SmackDown, sidelining her from in-ring action. Despite her limited wrestling time, Green remains active on social media but became upset when USA Network shared a post highlighting her injury, prompting her to demand its removal to avoid further embarrassment.
Incident Leading to Chelsea Green’s Ankle Injury
The injury occurred in a chaotic moment on the February 27, 2026, SmackDown episode, featuring Green alongside Tiffany Stratton and Kairi Sane. While Stratton and Sane competed, Green was seated in a wheelchair at the commentary table. During the segment, a confrontation between Green and Stratton escalated, and when Sane launched an attack on Stratton, she inadvertently collided with Green, worsening the latter’s ankle situation.
Reacting to the post, Green insisted on deleting the content related to her injury.
“DELETE THIS,” Chelsea Green wrote.
This demand underscored her desire to move past the incident, despite the post stirring unpleasant memories. Although Green’s time in the ring has diminished, her presence and entertainment value on social media have remained strong.
