Chelsea Green’s recent ankle injury sustained during a WWE SmackDown Triple Threat match has been revealed to be more serious than first reported. The injury occurred in a contest against Tiffany Stratton and Lash Legend, where Green continued competing despite evident pain. Although WWE initially believed it was a minor bruise, further medical assessment has confirmed a more severe condition involving a broken ankle.
Medical Examination Uncovers a Broken Ankle with Significant Damage
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, X-Ray results show Chelsea suffered a chipped and cracked bone along the side of her ankle joint. This discovery contrasts WWE’s original expectation that she would recover quickly without long-term absence. The injury’s severity means Chelsea’s return to wrestling remains uncertain, with no official schedule for her clearance to compete again.

WWE has hinted that Chelsea will remain part of televised storylines as she undergoes recovery, but her in-ring future is currently on hold pending medical updates.
