Chelsea Green has shared encouraging news about her Chelsea Green ankle recovery, reporting that she is healing more quickly than originally expected. The injured WWE star spoke to Denise Salcedo on the red carpet during the WWE 2K26 Creator Fest on February 23, revealing that her injury, once feared to be a severe fracture, turned out to be less serious than initially thought.
Details on the Injury and Recovery Process
Green clarified the extent of her injury, explaining that she chipped the side of her ankle. Despite the pain, she considers herself fortunate not to have suffered a major break. Her healing has progressed enough for her to be out of the medical boot, though she admits this is more for appearance than actual readiness.
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. Um, 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,
Green said. ?Denise Salcedo, Journalist
Impact of the Injury on Recent WWE Events
The injury happened during a February 10 SmackDown qualifying match for the Elimination Chamber, where Green faced Tiffany Stratton and Lash Legend. Though hurt mid-match, she completed the contest before receiving medical attention backstage. This injury prevented her from defending the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship alongside partner Ethan Page, causing the title to be lost when a substitute took her place.
Even while sidelined, Green has stayed active on WWE programming by appearing in segments featuring Alba Fyre and using a wheelchair to maintain her ongoing storylines. Her presence has kept fans engaged, especially after her notable role in WWE: Unreal’s second season on Netflix.

Her rapid Chelsea Green ankle recovery is a positive sign for fans who hope to see her back in the ring soon.
