Chelsea Green has disclosed that she sustained a broken ankle during last week’s SmackDown event, raising concerns about her participation in upcoming WWE events including WrestleMania. This injury also kept her from teaming with Ethan Page to defend the AAA Mixed Tag Team Titles on the recent AAA event broadcast on Fox.
Green recently competed against Tiffany Stratton and Lash Legend in a match to determine the first entrant in the women’s Elimination Chamber. Despite her efforts, Stratton secured the win by pinning Green with the Prettiest Moonsault Ever move.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Green shared an update in a newspaper-style image, confirming the severity of her injury as a broken ankle. This revelation contradicts earlier reports suggesting she had only suffered a minor bruise from her Coast-to-Coast maneuver.
Potential Recovery Timeline Could Sideline Green Through WrestleMania
Although the exact nature of Chelsea Green’s ankle fracture has not been fully disclosed, medical information from the Cleveland Clinic indicates that ankle fractures typically require 12 to 16 weeks for recovery without surgery. If Green adheres to this standard timeline, she is likely to miss WrestleMania for the second year in a row due to this injury.
Impact on Championships and Recent Title Losses
At the start of 2026, Chelsea Green held two notable titles: the Women’s United States Championship and one half of the AAA Mixed Tag Team Championship alongside Ethan Page. However, after losing the U.S. Women’s Title to Giulia on the first 2026 episode of SmackDown, Green’s injury further complicated her championship status.
Her ankle injury prevented her from traveling to Mexico last Saturday where she and Ethan Page were scheduled to defend their AAA Mixed Tag Team Titles against Mr. Iguana and Lola Vice. With Green sidelined, La Hiedra stepped in as Page’s partner for the match.
Unfortunately, La Hiedra was pinned by Lola Vice, who captured her first WWE title as a result. This outcome marked a significant moment for Vice and dealt a setback for Green and Page’s championship reign.
Future Prospects and Implications for Chelsea Green
Chelsea Green’s broken ankle not only threatens her immediate return to the ring but also puts a spotlight on the challenges wrestlers face recovering from serious injuries. Missing WrestleMania again could impact her career momentum, especially considering her recent title setbacks. Fans and WWE insiders will be closely watching her recovery progress and future booking decisions as her rehabilitation continues.
