After the February 7 episode of AAA on FOX featured Chelsea Green wearing a walking boot during a backstage FaceTime segment, fans quickly grew worried about the severity of her condition. The segment indicated Green was unable to compete or defend the AAA Mixed Tag Team Titles alongside Ethan Page, which led to an unexpected shift in the show’s plans.
New Details About the Nature of the Injury
Dave Meltzer addressed these concerns in the Wrestling Observer Daily Update by clarifying that Green’s injury is far less serious than initially believed. He explained that Green’s ankle suffered a bruise rather than a fracture. Despite missing the recent AAA taping where she and Ethan Page lost the mixed tag team titles to Lola Vice and Mr. Iguana, Meltzer does not expect her recovery to take long.
“Chelsea Green’s ankle injury was a bruise and not a break, and while she did miss last night’s AAA show where she and Ethan Page lost the mixed tag team titles (Lola Vice & Mr. Iguana are the new champions), I don’t expect her out for too much time.” – Dave Meltzer
Impact on Green’s Immediate Wrestling Schedule
This update significantly alters the perspective on Green’s status, suggesting that her absence from competition is only temporary. There has been no indication of structural damage to her ankle, lowering the likelihood of long-term downtime that might have affected her participation in major events like WrestleMania. Although she missed the event where the championship change occurred, her return to action is expected to come soon without major disruption to her career progression.
Looking Ahead: What This Means for Chelsea Green’s Career
With the injury now confirmed as a minor bruise, concerns about Green’s short-term future have eased somewhat. This development suggests that while the initial visuals and announcements caused tension and unease, the situation may have been more manageable than first assumed. Fans and followers remain attentive to any further updates, considering the importance of her momentum in AAA and beyond.
