WWE Superstar Chelsea Green provided an update on her health following an ankle injury sustained during an Elimination Chamber qualifying match on the February 6 episode of SmackDown. The incident happened in a three-way contest involving Green, Tiffany Stratton, and Lash, vying for a place in the Women’s Chamber Match.
Initially, concerns were raised that Green may have suffered a broken ankle. However, she clarified her condition during an appearance on the No Contest Wrestling podcast, explaining that she had actually chipped a bone on the side of her ankle, rather than breaking it outright, allowing her to still bear weight on the leg.
Details on Injury and Green’s Current Condition
Green’s recent remarks shed light on the nature of her injury. She said,
“I chipped the bone off of the side of my ankle but I can still bear weight on it, so I’m kind of lucky I’m in between injured and hopefully cleared I don’t know.”
This update offers a more optimistic outlook compared to earlier fears.
Despite her injury preventing participation in matches, Green remains active on WWE programming, appearing on SmackDown using a wheelchair pushed by Secret Hervice Slaygeant Alba Fyre. Fans were encouraged by sightings of Green without a walking boot at the WWE 2K26 Creator Fest held at the company’s headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, suggesting progress in her recovery.
Significance of Recovery and Future Prospects
Chelsea Green’s transparent update is an important reassurance to fans and WWE observers who have been following her injury timeline. Her ability to bear weight and absence of a full break indicates a potentially quicker return to action than initially feared. Continued monitoring of her status will be essential to understand when she may be cleared for competition once again.
With WWE events and storylines progressing, Green’s comeback could add excitement to upcoming shows, especially considering her previous two-time reign as the Women’s United States Champion. Updates will be provided as more information on her recovery becomes available.
